Alignment & 3D Measurement
Correct alignment is essential for the optimum performance and efficiency of your machinery.
Why is alignment important?
The parts within rotating machinery are reliant on each other for the system to operate successfully and misalignment is directly responsible for a large proportion of the problems with mechanical equipment. Even where components are connected with flexible couplings these only allow for small variations, so accurate alignment is vital as one part being just slightly out of position can cause issues. Having your equipment correctly aligned can have many benefits which will increase the output of your equipment and potentially lengthen its lifespan.

How can we help?
As experts in the machine reliability sector, AVT Reliability engineers have the specialist equipment and technical knowledge needed to carry out the measurement and alignment process required to ensure the accuracy of your machinery. We can apply this service to any part of your production line, including rotating equipment, pumps, engines, turbines, generators and compressors. Providing service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week means our engineers are available to help whenever needed.
Alignment solutions
Using a combination of precise measuring equipment and the most advanced analysis tools, our engineers will carry out accurate inspections before alignment. Throughout the process, our main priority is always to ensure the optimal performance of your installation. We aim to prolong the life of your equipment and lower your running costs by reducing vibration and wear, ensuring your machinery is working efficiently.
3D Laser Scanning
3D measurement is one of the most precise methods for gaining a true picture of even the most complex geometrical constructions. Using the most up-to-date laser technology we can quickly determine the exact dimensions of any part of your production line or machinery. By comparing these measurements with the original equipment configuration, we can diagnose and adjust alignment problems.
Shaft Alignment
Correct shaft alignment is essential for the safe and efficient operation of your machinery. The process involves the positioning of two or more pieces of equipment so that they can be joined directly by a coupling or spacer. From our extensive knowledge of different types of machinery and our experience in the field, our alignment service offers a full analysis and correction of any anomalies.
Geometrical Alignment
For more complex measurements within your rotating equipment and production line machinery, our geometric measurement and alignment service is required. Through the use of laser technology, our engineers can measure even the most intricate angles and accurately adjust any deviations, restoring the high performance of your system.
Key applications
The alignment and 3D measurement service we offer can be applied to a wide range of industries including offshore, oil and gas, water, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and automotive. Our technology and expertise can be used to align any rotating equipment such as pumps, turbines, engines and gearboxes and can include any of the following:
