Achieving shaft alignment is a perennial task in machinery maintenance: roughly half of all machinery fails due to some degree of misalignment and requires connecting shafts to be tested and re-aligned. Alignment measurements can be performed with a feeler gauge, calipers, straightedge or dial indicator(s), but laser shaft alignment offers the distinct advantages of portability along with unrivaled speed and precision measurement. How To Use A Laser Alignment Tool To Test Rotating Equipment Perform pre-alignment check Perform rough alignment Eliminate obvious soft foot Tighten bolts Perform final soft check Mount sensors to stationary and movable shafts or hubs Turn on lasers Follow on-screen prompts Enter dimensions Select tolerances Perform readings, 3 measurement points Correct for both horizontal and vertical misalignment Watch the following video for a step-by-step shaft alignment performed with the Vibralign Fixturlaser EVO:   What Is A Laser Shaft Alignment Tool? A laser shaft alignment tool performs measurements by means of two sensors mounted on two connected shafts. Both sensors fire a laser beam and receive the other sensor’s beam simultaneously; a comparison of the beams reveals whether the shafts are aligned and within a specified tolerance. The data then appears on a display unit, tablet or PC, allowing for analysis and correction to be performed. Considered to be on the cutting edge of dimensional analysis in the world of manufacturing, laser alignment tools are vital allies to test engineers charged with mechanical reliability. Laser beams are free from the laws of gravity, immune to bracket sag and eliminate coupling anomalies. A laser shaft test system can rotate to compensate for coupling anomalies, calculate precise values for horizontal and vertical (shimming) corrections, and can even measure more than two machines, all in the same
