5 REASONS TO ALIGN YOUR MACHINES BY EASY-LASER

By Machine Reliability, 7 years ago

Have you considered investing in a

laser alignment system, but hesitated for some reason? Well, maybe this

article can convince you of the many benefits.

1. MACHINE ALIGNMENT IS ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

How is this possible, you might wonder? Well, if your machines are

correctly aligned not only do you save energy, but you also minimize the

use of replacement parts. This in turn means less energy is required

for the manufacture and shipping of those parts. Automatically, the

consumption of materials is also reduced. All this makes a large

contribution to the environment.

2.  PROPER ALIGNMENT MAKES PRODUCTION MORE EFFICIENT AND HELPS MINIMIZE WASTE

If you are a manufacturer, you probably have a lot of machinery such as

CNC machines or extruders that need alignment. When out of alignment,

they produce faulty parts. These out-of-tolerance parts either need to

be re-machined, or new ones must be produced to replace them, because

your customer still needs the same amount. Both solutions take time. If

you throw the faulty parts in the bin, you also waste material. 

3. AN ALIGNMENT SYSTEM WILL IMPROVE YOUR WORKING ENVIRONMENT

First, the working environment will be improved thanks to reduced

leakage and less vibrations. A leaking seal in a pump caused by

misalignment can cause workers to be exposed to potentially harmful

liquids. With a correctly aligned machine this will be avoided.

Secondly, a properly aligned machine will vibrate less, which means

reduced noise level and a safer working environment for the staff.

 

Align your machines to create a safer work environment.

4. CORRECTLY ALIGNED MACHINES REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPENSIVE BREAKDOWNS

As well as reduced costs for replacement parts, reduced energy

consumption and time savings there is another problem you will avoid

with a correctly aligned machine: loss of production time. With

measurement systems for vibration checks and alignment of the machines

it is possible to minimize downtime, which of course reduces production

losses. 

5. YOU WILL GAIN MORE THAN YOU FIRST THOUGHT

Why do we think so? Well, because the Easy-Laser systems are so

versatile, many users find new ways to improve their machinery using the

system. Our basic alignment systems are extremely flexible, but of

course, if you stretch your budget just a little you will also get more

possibilities for the future. Regardless of system, the investment will

quickly pay for itself thanks to all of the above reasons. Great, isn’t

it?
