Laser Alignment
With state-of-the-art equipment and trained professionals, SOMEC verifies the laser alignment of both fixed bearings or between coupled shafts. Laser technology is the best system for verifying alignment of shafts, bearings or rotating assemblies with precision, it supplies systematic errors and eliminates inconsistent readings. A good alignment of rotating couplings prevents: Vibration; Premature wear; Heating and; Loss of power. Even the couplings that allow misalignments must be well aligned, to guarantee good performance, with a longer life of the transmission life.
With the use of laser alignment techniques, it is possible to accurately determine the alignment condition of a rotating assembly, as well as to place it within the recommended tolerances.
Misalignment can be highly destructive to equipment.
