Apart from unbalance, the second most common sources of machine failure are misalignment and coupling errors. These can be overcome by laser alignment, increasing the efficiency and lifetime of the machine.
Laser AlignmentThe need and value of precision laser alignment and calibration is simple: Proper alignment of your equipment improves production efficiency. Period! All production equipment must be precisely aligned in order to deliver accuracy and quality and to minimize wear and tear on your machinery. With time, the effects of heat, vibration, foundation movement, and routine repair work will inevitably cause even properly positioned machinery to become misaligned. Thus, periodic corrective alignment becomes a necessity.
Today's state-of-the-art laser alignment equipment
is very sophisticated, and those who know how to properly use it
(and decipher its results) are few and far between. The cost of
bringing both the equipment and technical staff on board is cost prohibitive
for most companies, even though such services are critical
to their bottom line.
The most effective solution to this dilemma is to hire a company that utilizes the most advanced equipment and provides the most experienced laser technicians to perform its precision alignment & calibration services. Mikan Services Ltd. is that company.
Before Mikan Services Ltd. balances coupling driven equipment, our technicians clamp on our Opti-line laser alignment equipment. It then takes about 15 minutes to get the initial measurements, and balance can be corrected within an hour or two. If a straight alignment is required we have another system for rails, C-N-S guide- bars and straight edges.
Benefits:
a) Eliminate catastrophic failures due to improper alignment.
b) Increase the life of bearings, seals, rotor, and couplings.
c) Reductions in Real Power consumption. (kilowatt/hours)
