To control the co-linearity and angle of two shafts at the coupling, where the power is transmitted - laser shaft alignment technology can help to perform the measurement easily.
The Laser "shoots" onto a position sensitive detector, during continuously rotating the shafts the detector collects all changes and can calculate the gap & offset at the coupling position.
In addition the shaft alignment device can check whether the alignmnet is in tolerance or not.
The required correction at the machine feet is supported live by these devices.
