Versatile New Spindle Alignment Kit Improves Factory Efficiency
October 2005, Newburyport, Massachusetts, Pinpoint Laser Systems®, Inc., is introducing a new, low cost, precision spindle alignment kit for use in factories and machine shops. This versatile laser product is easy to use and can check parallelism, concentricity, and wear on spindles, lathes, and boring equipment. Plant personnel and machine shop operators can now check their equipment quickly and improve manufacturing efficiency while reducing downtime and production costs.
The Spindle Alignment Kit, Model PLS-AKS003, has a round laser transmitter that fits right into the spindle or chuck on the machine. A digital receiver secures directly to the opposing spindle, tool holder, or tailstock, and provides precise alignment readings through a handheld display. In four easy steps, the alignment accuracy of the machine can be checked to better than 0.0001 inch (0.003 mm). This new alignment kit is ideal for use on lathes and turning equipment, spindle drilling systems, and other production equipment that requires tight alignment.
Made in the United States, the Pinpoint Spindle Alignment Kit is machined from solid aluminum (no cheap plastic here) with easy use and operation in mind. The product is versatile for use on small and large machines alike, and fits neatly into a storage case when done. A computer interface is also available as an add-on for storing readings and printing out alignment results.
