Alignment Supplies, Inc. Announces New Easy-Laser Wireless Shaft Alignment System

It is no secret that the Laser Shaft Alignment market has gradually gone in the direction of next-generation systems, and that features like wireless operation and color screens have become more commonplace among the average user.  Knitz stated that “Easy-Laser has taken the time to design a well-thought out product, rather than rush to market with a system that isn’t ready.  And that extra planning benefits our customers directly, and pays off as the most affordable next-generation system on the market.”

The E710 boasts a wide range of technological innovations, not just wireless Bluetooth operation and a color graphics.  Battery life has been a recurring issue for next-generation laser shaft alignment systems, and Easy-Laser has taken an important step in eliminating that problem with the Endurio Power Management system.  The E710’s integrated battery automatically charges itself from 4 ordinary “C” cell batteries - and makes sure that users never have to stop an alignment because of exhausted battery power. 

The Easy-Laser E710 also features innovations like Live-Any-Angle 360° alignment, meaning users can make adjustments to their alignment with the laser heads in any position, and still get LIVE updated values.  Additionally, the E710 can be purchased with a barcode scanner accessory.  Now users can label their machines with a barcode so that repeat alignments are faster than ever - simply scan the barcode, and all previously entered data and dimensions for the machine are brought back instantaneously - enabling users to focus their time on the alignment.  The E710 also enables users to develop and save their own custom user profiles, and offers the most comprehensive set of data storage and documentation options ever - including transferring the files to PC with the free EasyLink software, saving to a USB flash drive, or as a PDF report saved in the system memory. 

Of course, Easy-Laser is known for their industry-best 2 Year Warranty, intuitive programs, clean, ergonomic design, upgradeability / expandability, and unmatched durability - all of which carry over into the new E710.  “We’ve become fond of calling this system the ‘evolution’ of laser shaft alignment - it has all the advanced features, benefits, and more at an industry-best price,” said Mr. Knitz.  “We are confident the E710 outmatches anything else not just in performance, but also in price.  With the E710 being such an amazing value, we anticipate old customers and new will be eager to join the E-volution.”

Condition Monitoring with a Digital Camera

The oil and gas industry has become critical for sustained operations and long-term asset reliability. When it comes to condition monitoring, expensive technologies, extensive training, and years of development often come to mind, especially regarding rotating equipment. Tools, such as vibration spectrum analysis, thermal imaging, oil lubrication analysis, and motor current analysis, provide valuable snapshots in time and have been useful in practice for quite some time.

Beyond the Bellows: How One Root Cause Failure Analysis Sparked Cultural Transformation in Refinery Reliability

Sometimes, technical problems are symptoms of deeper cultural and operational issues. This article explores how a deep dive into recurring fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) expansion joint failures led to far-reaching insights, not just about metallurgy and maintenance, but about a refinery's decision-making, communications and reliability culture. It’s a case where the root cause wasn’t just in the metal, but in the mindset.

Quick Time to Value: How to Accelerate ROI in EAM Implementation

Enterprise asset management (EAM) implementation is sometimes misperceived as a complex, resource-intensive endeavor. But that perception is rooted in legacy approaches and outdated systems.

Optimize Operations in 7 Steps: The Strategic Art of Maintenance Planning and Scheduling

Effective maintenance planning and scheduling are essential to prevent unplanned asset failures from dictating your schedules and driving your budgets. In a reactive, unplanned environment, maintenance efforts falter—funds meant for proactive upkeep are instead wasted on waiting for parts, delayed equipment transfers, and emergency fixes that disrupt planned work

Case Study: How Waites Cemented $1 Million in Savings by Eliminating Unplanned Downtime for Buzzi Unicem USA

Minimizing downtime in the cement manufacturing industry is crucial, as each minute of operational delay can lead to significant financial repercussions.

Laying the Groundwork: The Role of Naming Conventions in Spare Parts Management Success

This article outlines best practices for overcoming these hurdles and highlights the foundational elements of a successful spare parts management approach.

Industry 5.0 Is Empowering Today’s Factory Workers and It’s a Long Overdue Revolution

The impacts of Industry 4.0 and its younger sibling, Industry 5.0, fall right down to today’s factory workers. While embedded automation and optimization within the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 have the power to drive new efficiencies, they have also led to the introduction of more complex job roles and tasks, but for fewer frontline workers.

From Data to Action: The Complex Path of Advanced Analytics and Reliability in Industry

In today's industrial landscape, the buzz around advanced analytics is hard to ignore. Companies are increasingly looking to harness the power of data to drive efficiency, reduce downtime, and gain a competitive edge. However, the journey from collecting data to taking actionable steps based on that data is far from straightforward.

Engaging and Retaining the Asset Management Workforce

Employee engagement and retention are critical for the success of asset management organizations. High turnover rates and labor shortages pose significant challenges, impacting operational efficiency, safety and overall workforce morale.

Do or Do Not

Data analysis is critical to understanding problems and decision-making. Analysis that is not followed up by an action is likely a wasted opportunity, but not always.
