Our history

•Initial business is core business

► Laser-optical shaft alignment■Positioning of two or more shafts so

that their rotational centerlines are colinear at the point of power transmission

■Determine “shaft alignment“□ Measure the deviation of the

shaft centerlines□ Calculate the necessary foot

What is alignment ?

The rotational centerlines of two or more shafts must be colinear at the point of power transfer under operating conditions!!


Our history

• Displaying alignment conditionThe four alignment parameters

► Shaft centerline offset

► Shaft centerline angularity


Technology development

• Common alignment methods

► Straightedge

► Feeler gauge

► Dial indicator

► Laser-optical alignment

Resolution 1/10 mm

• Dial indicator methods

Rim and face method Reverse indicator method



► Transducer (sensor) – Reflector (prism)► “Reflected single laser beam”► ALIGNEO and OPTALIGN smart

► Single laser► Dual position detectors (measurement planes)► ROTALIGN Ultra

• The laser-optical measurement principles from PRÜFTECHNIK



• Our shaft alignment measurement methods

SWEEP mode: Continuous and automatic collection of data Hundreds of readings are taken as shafts are rotated Measurement can start at any position Shafts may be rotated in any direction Shaft rotation of as little as 60° determines alignment condition

Multipoint mode: Measurement at any position Any 3 or more measurement points over 60° rotation or wider Note: SHAFTALIGN uses the active clock measure mode

Static mode: 3 or more readings at any 45° position ( 8 available) Frequently used in applications involving vertical machines

N.B.: The procedure of taking readings at more than 3 positions is a PRÜFTECHNIK patent
