Check out the range today and find out why we are the chosen industrial alignment solution expert.
Machine breakdowns as a result of misalignment increase unplanned machinery downtime, resulting in higher maintenance costs and loss of production. Additionally, misaligned shafts can increase vibration levels and friction, which can significantly increase energy consumption and can cause premature bearing failures.
Benefits of using alignment tools include:

At ACORN industrial services, our offerings extend beyond just heating tools. We are committed to providing other maintenance equipment products to meet your industrial needs:
Belt alignment tools are made for aligning machines that use belts. They ensure that the belts are in place right and tightened between pulleys to prevent uneven wear. Shaft alignment tools serve the purpose of aligning the rotating shafts. They make sure that the shafts are properly aligned and centred to reduce vibration and increase equipment life.
Laser alignment tools provide precise and accurate alignment, reducing human error and ensuring optimal machinery performance. They are faster and easier to use than traditional methods, minimising downtime and maintenance costs. Laser tools also help extend the lifespan of machinery by reducing misalignment-related wear and tear, leading to cost savings and improved efficiency.
Alignment of machinery on a regular schedule for preventive maintenance should be performed. The frequency is related to the usage of the equipment and its operational environment, as well as recommendations from the manufacturer. As a general rule, alignment should be checked no less often than once yearly, or more frequently for critical or high-use equipment.
Alignment means the process of resetting machine parts to be correctly set with each other. In the case of belt alignment, this would mean placing belts so that they move without veering off between pulleys. Alignment of shafts means adjusting these so that they become centered and parallel. It will normally be done by measuring and making adjustments in accurate alignment through appliances such as laser aligners, which reduce vibration and generally improve machine performance.
