Here we are using a laser shaft alignment tool and we have added a D22 swivel laser that can sweep across the base in order to measure flatness in both X and Y coordinates. Before we show you the results let us first show you how we plan to measure. Although the base appears to be two long rails the motor only sits on the shim packs which are positioned under the mounting pads on the motor.
Proper Alignment Will Reduce Your Carbon Footprint!
Traditionally, maintenance departments do not sing their own praises. Maybe that should change? In many companies the maintenance departments are still considered to be a necessary expense instead of a profit center. This perception is starting to change as improved maintenance procedures demonstrate cost savings that go directly to the company’s bottom line by reducing the energy costs and improving reliability, so really this is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint as a business.
