Using Laser Trackers to Correct Conveyor System Misalignment Reduces Costly Downtime
Having a reliable and long-lasting conveyor system is key to a mining operation. However, alignment of conveyors is often overlooked and the reliability of these conveyors is undermined. Common conveyor issues caused by misalignment include belt failure and premature...
How Often Do You Need a Machine Alignment Inspection?
One of the questions OASIS customers most often ask is “How often do I need to have my machine inspected for alignment?” Unfortunately, there isn’t a simple answer. There are a number of factors that can affect your equipment alignment, and these should be taken into...
Knowledge of Precision Measurement is Key to Achieving Greater Success
With 2016 rapidly coming to a close, we thought we would take this opportunity to provide our readers - both our regular visitors and our new - with our top five most viewed blog posts. OASIS strongly believes that an informed, knowledgeable customer achieves the...
Measurement Tool Spotlight: Telescopic Transit Square (TTS)
The workhorse of optical alignment tools, the telescopic transit square (TTS) continues to be a top choice for alignment inspections in extreme environments such as paper mills, steel mills, power plants, and other manufacturing facilities where the environment is...
Fourdrinier Alignment Inspection is Now Much Faster and More Efficient
Though more traditional alignment tools and methodologies are still often the choice for alignment inspections in many areas of a paper machine, in some sections of a paper machine, newer innovative measurement tools and methods are much faster and more efficient. The...
Tech Talk – Why Laser Trackers with OTG are Important for Industrial Applications
Written by Hubert Meagher, OASIS Director of Metrology Services, this post recently appeared on the Talking Points Blog published by Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. In future posts, we will provide additional technical information on the capabilities of our...
Tips for Optimizing Corrugator Performance and Avoiding Costly Alignment Issues
If you manufacture corrugated products you already know that the challenges are many - and that issues can be very costly. Since we started blogging in 2013, we have provided several educational posts on corrugators including a three-part series on the importance of...
Aligning to Standard Tolerances Helps to Attain Peak Machine Performance
Defined by ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) in standard Y14.5, tolerance is “the total amount a specific dimension is permitted to vary. The tolerance is the difference between the maximum and minimum limits”. Tolerance specifications and guidelines are...
Why Laser Tracker Technology is More Efficient for Aluminum Extrusion Press Alignment
The misalignment of components within an aluminum extrusion press can cause significant issues such as inconsistent die performance, uneven wear, premature failure or excessive wear of dummy blocks, and in extreme cases, damaged and/or broken stems, containers and tie...
Measurement Tool Spotlight: Laser Shaft Alignment Systems
Proper shaft alignment is essential to the operating efficiency of rotating machinery. Correctly aligned shafts ensure smooth, even power transmission from the motor to the driven components. Though there is a variety of shaft alignment tools and methods to choose...
