Inventors of Laser Shaft Alignment
Minor cause, major impact
When shafts are well-aligned – with their axes in a straight line – machines run
smoothly. Misalignment is the underlying cause for around 50% of all machine failures. The ensuing downtime, production losses and repairs can generate staggering
costs. The answer to these problems is provided by laser-based measurement systems.
Achievements we are proud of:
EDDYTHERM® – First microprocessorcontrolled induction heating device
OPTALIGN® – The world’s first laseroptical shaft alignment system
ALI 2000 – First alignment computer for
shaft alignment with an LCD graphic display
SYSTEM 2 – First multifunctional measuring device with a softkey user interface,
plug-in program and memory cards, and plug-in hardware modules
First laser-optical 5-axial sensor that
transmits results via a wireless IR system
PERMALIGN® – First laser-optical coordinates measuring
system for four degrees of freedom

Alignment Systems
Correct machine alignment is centrally important to smooth
operations and high product quality. To ensure that machines are correctly positioned, and to correct those that
are not, maintenance specialists around the world rely on
our high precision laser measurement systems:
during machine installation
when commissioning machines
after refitting
As the inventor of laser-optical shaft alignment, PRÜFTECHNIK began leading the way in industrial maintenance more
than 30 years ago. With 300 patents, we are persistently
advancing our technological leadership. Through our daily
dialog with customers, and innumerable assignments and
discussions on location, we ensure that our future developments will continue to meet the increasing demands placed
on modern maintenance.
after repairs
Our products and services:
Shaft alignment
Alignment of bores and bearing shells
Laser systems now make it
possible to objectively
determine whether or not
circular machine components – as they are used in
turbines – are truly circular,
and record the information
for future use.
Our laser-based, contactfree alignment systems
measure to a precision of
one thousandth of a millimeter. They calculate the
correction values needed to
achieve good alignment
and record the alignment
condition.
Straightness and flatness measurement
Roll parallelism measurement
The straightness and flatness of surfaces, foundations, machine beds, tables
and flanges can be measured down to 1/1000 of a
millimeter.
Monitoring of positional changes
AlignmentCenter – the complete program
Very small positional
changes in machines can be
recorded by a non-contacting method during operation. Machine operators use
this information to initiate
appropriate measures to
compensate for shifts in
position.
OPTALIGN® PLUS – Laser-optical alignment system featuring
very user-friendly operation for industrial environments

AlignmentCenter is the PC
software common to all
alignment systems. It can be
used to clearly visualize the
measurement results in
graphic displays, and to
record and archive the data.

At NDT we ensure that manufacturers of semi-finished products and their customers obtain
products of the best possible quality. Our eddy current and flux leakage testing equipment of
the EDDYCHEK® and NOVAFLUX® series detects flaws in semi-finished metal products, which
can then be marked and sorted out. Our systems are also employed in the optimization of
production processes and the reduction of scrap.
Achievements we are proud of:
EDDYSENSOR – Simple testing unit for
process control and automation
EDDYCHEK® – First eddy current tester with microprocessor-based signal processing

Nondestructive Testing
More than 30 years of experience have turned us into a
global market leader in the testing of semi-finished products:
Our customers are manufacturers of semi-finished metal
products who employ our testing equipment in the quality
control of the following products:
Tubes
Quality control
Wire
Process optimization
Bars
High sensitivity testing
Our application engineers work closely with customers to
develop customized testing solutions, including complete
turnkey systems, and personally look after project planning
and implementation.
etc.
These producers, in turn, supply a diverse range of industries that rely on top quality semi-finished material, including the transport, automotive and construction sectors, to
name but a few.
Our applications can be found in the following areas:
Tube mills
Wire producers
Tube manufacturers use
NDT devices coupled with
a variety of sensors for
tube leakage testing. The
testing method meets the
requirements of recognized
international standards.
Special tube applications
Wire drawing lines and recoiling plants employ eddy
current testing together
with rotating systems,
which excel in the reliable
detection of longitudinal
defects and grooving.
Bar mills
Hot rolling mills
9
Producers of high quality
steel bar rely on the latest
NDT product, a magnetic
flux leakage tester, for
finding very small cracks
and imperfections on black
and bright steel bar.
Special sensors and testers
developed specifically for
this field enable the inspection of thick-walled tubing.
Formed parts manufacturers
NDT testing equipment
tests cold heading wire before it enters a cold former,
without interrupting the
production process. After
forming, the defective
parts are automatically
sorted out.
Water-cooled sensors are
used in eddy current testing at temperatures of up
to 1200 °C and at very
high speeds to create flaw
statistics and monitor the
production process.
EDDYCHEK® 5 compact – Cost-effective networked eddy
current testing unit for use with any Windows® PC
EDDYCHEK® 5 – Digital eddy current testing unit
with networking capabilities and a touchscreen
EDDYCHEK® 5 advanced – State-of-the-art eddy current testing unit including DATA
LOGGER software for documentation and optional EDDYTREND results analysis software
