Optical Alignment

Fast, Accurate, Informative. When tolerances of +/- 0.001" are required, optical tooling is the method of choice.

Regardless of the type of equipment or machinery, precision alignment is crucial to production and machine runability.

Optical alignment has found its way into many different areas of machine alignment. Optical tooling is used with any machine carrying a paper or plastic product such as paper machines, extruders, laminators, slitters, sheeters, web presses, and coaters. Also, optical tooling is used for hydro turbines, line shafts, chippers, conveyors, and machine shop equipment such as lathes and planers.

Optical tooling has proven itself in all industries. It is quicker and more accurate than other mechanical methods. The results can be seen in reduced maintenance costs, less down time, and less product waste with gross product increase.
