The 2016 EASA (Electrical Apparatus Service Association) Convention in Toronto on June 12-14 was a great opportunity to show off our new Easy-Laser E720 shaft alignment tool to the people attending the show.
The Metro Toronto Convention Centre was full of attendees from around North America.
At the Hannover Messe, Easy-Laser showcased (see image above) a new all-in-one solution for the machinery installation process, the Easy-Laser® XTE770GEO.
Easy-Laser® is one of the world’s largest suppliers of laser based measurement systems to the manufacturers and service companies in the wind power generation industry. There are many applications for the Easy-Laser® systems in this industry.
We’re happy to announce that our new training center is now open!
Owner John Lambert says,
“This is a space where we can focus on giving the correct training to mechanics, millwrights, service technicians, laser alignment end-users, industry maintenance professionals, etc. – anyone who is in the business of machinery installation.
One of our focuses in 2016 will be our new Easy-Laser E975 Roll Alignment tool. Belterra, one of our customers in Western Canada this year, is using it (in conjunction with the Easy-Laser E970 Parallel tool) and finding success moving, correcting and aligning rolls live time!
Just recently, we performed a successful demonstration of the system at a large metal-forming company. It is very encouraging to see their excitement when they can see that they can move the rolls live time in both vertical and horizontal planes while keeping the alignment process very accurate.
Recently Qulliq Energy Corp. in Iqaluit, Nunavut purchased a mid-range Easy-Laser 540 system. Included in the purchase was a machinery installation package that came with instrument training as well as some real world alignment work in the field.
Easy-Laser® launches a free app for the XT290 Digital Level. Using the Precision Level app, an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch can be used as a separate display to follow the adjustment. Alignment is therefore more efficient because there is no need to move back and forth between the level and the machine adjustment points.
Recently, some employees were sent to Sweden to get some additional product training on geometric laser measurement and vibration measurement. The first stop was Easy-Laser headquarters just outside of Gothenburg.
Our first new MAAD Training session kicked off last week with some great feedback from the participants. For most it was “much better” then expected. One participant said, “I can’t wait for the next opportunity to use this new information!” Our next Training session is in June. For more information on MAAD training go to our Training page here and contact us now.
Recently, BENCHMARK PDM trainers were called to go a couple of hours northeast to a Utilities company that needed some on-site training for an Easy-Laser shaft alignment tool purchased not long ago. Usually, “on the job” or “on-machine” training sessions only aren’t offered because it is hard to teach each tradesperson, mechanic or millwright the specifics of the shaft alignment tool and then do it real-time with them retaining all of the information in a potentially noisy industrial setting, especially for a larger group.
