Fast & Accurate

Reduce Production Losses With Laser Alignment

Maintenance supervisors know that when machines are down and production losses are growing, laser alignment is the fastest and most accurate method of coupling alignment. At Cornerstone Mechanical, our technicians have performed laser alignment services on machinery ranging from fractional motor-pump sets to 8,000 HP motor-driven centrifugal compressors.

Cornerstone Mechanical’s laser alignment services complement our machinery vibration analysis services and dynamic balancing services. We’ll also go the extra mile to keep you up to date on the workings of your machinery by providing vibration values and vibration spectra tables as part of our detailed reports. These reports also document the as-found and as-left alignment values, along with the shim changes and horizontal movements of the machinery feet, to give you a reference point for any future services.

Laser Alignment Capabilities

The combined experience of our skilled teams provides a solid foundation for the dependability of a professional company. We are confident that the quality of our service will be superior, and we guarantee the work we perform will be accurate and concise.

When machines are down and production losses are mounting, few methods can get you back up and running at maximum efficiency quite like an accurate laser alignment. The dynamic experience of our technicians combined with an easy-to-read alignment report can restore your confidence in your equipment.

  • Use of alignment “target” values for vertical and horizontal offset and angularity values
  • Measurements of “soft-foot,” or vertical, movement of machine feet when mounting bolts are loosened (this condition can cause great difficulty if not recognized and corrected)
  • Alignment of shafts that are separated by spool pieces up to 12 feet in length
  • Calculation of target offset and angularity values when they are unknown

When target offset and angularity values are unknown, our team laser-aligns machinery “cold” before starting the machine and running it until it reaches operating temperatures. The laser is quickly set up, and “hot” alignment values are recorded. We then realign the machine in this condition and document the alignment changes for future reference. When this machine or a similar machine needs alignment again, the target values can be used when the “cold” alignment is performed.
