Precision Alignment & Metrology

Laser Shaft Alignment

All alignment inspections and alignment are performed using state-of-the-art laser systems with 1.0 μm accuracy.

From a main engine’s shaft line to the sheaves of a belt drive, correct alignment reduces costs, increases the service life of bearings, couplings etc., and reduces energy consumption.

Laser alignment inspection of main engine shaft systems

Main engines & shaft systems (shaft alignment)

Alignment and/or alignment verification of propulsion shafting from engine to propeller, ensuring optimal power transmission and bearing load distribution.

Gearboxes (gearbox alignment)

Alignment of engine to gearbox, and of gearbox to the propeller shaft or other driven machinery — the critical interface for power transmission performance.

Generators & pumps (generator alignment)

Generator and pump drive alignment services to prevent premature bearing failure and reduce vibration.

Fans & blowers (fan alignment)

Alignment of fans and blowers in ship engine rooms and in industry.

Steering systems

Precision alignment of steering gear components for vessels, yachts, and patrol cutters.

Case studies & field applications

GILKES 530 kW generators of hydroelectric power plant

Using advanced laser measurement technology, we can detect misalignment within microns. Accurate alignment reduces vibration, extends bearing life, and ensures maximum energy transfer from turbine to generator.
