Schaeffler has introduced the Laser-Equilign2 alignment tool, a system for aligning rotating shafts. This alignment tool is based on single laser technology instead of double laser technology.The system consists of a non-verbal user interface with an 8" TFT display and a capacitive touch screen, which can be operated while wearing suitable gloves. In contrast to the conventional double laser technology in which two laser/sensor units must be aligned with each other, only one laser/sensor unit and a reflector are used in single laser technology. The single laser is aligned with the reflector and uses four-point measurements.
