Calibration services are an integral part of working with any accuracy or measuring device. In the case of laser alignment and BENCHMARK PDM, it is what ensures all measurement tools are working to the right degree and as intended. When a laser alignment tool is out of calibration we can’t rely on the results. With repeated and consistent use and over time, it is possible to the detectors become slightly skewed in reading the lasers positions. As such, to ensure your laser alignment detectors are at the level you need them to be, our service center can calibrate your alignment system to ensure an unhindered workflow.
Because of my many years of experience in the field of installation and maintenance of rotating equipment I can say that installation is a fundamental thing. But why is this phase so important?
Well-lubricated and properly aligned machinery are integral to the smooth running and continual functioning of your equipment and overall facility. Shaft alignment of rotating equipment is particularly important, as the unnecessary stress produced by misalignment will cause unexpected and costly downtime.
Your laser alignment system is pivotal in ensuring that your machinery works at its full capacity to produce a high output and premium product or service. When your machinery is correctly aligned using precise and reliable laser alignment systems―like Easy-Laser® alignment systems—the availability of the entire production process will be preserved, their components’ longevity will be extended, and the need for spare parts will be drastically reduced.

The importance of calibration services cannot be understated; they are the lifeline needed across countless industries to make sure of precise measurement specifications for tools and devices used on machinery. Without calibrating your equipment, you cannot be sure that your measurements are correct, which is particularly worrying when trying to align the shafts of two rotating machines.
If your machine’s gearbox, pump and motor shafts are not in alignment, the cost of failures and repairs can be drastic. Misalignment of this nature will significantly reduce its performance and mean time between repairs, as well as the functional longevity of the gearbox, motor, and the machines as a whole!
Precision Maintenance can be used as a process improvement strategy. A strategy that will pay dividends. This process is easy to implement. In fact, you do most of the work already. The beauty of it all is that there is not a lot of cost involved and if you’re smart, you can implement the process on one machine at a time.
