We’ve spoken to many clients in the past that describe the week long process of moving a fixture and using old methodologies to try and achieve proper alignment. Before the technology was available it is understandable that the process included such crude methods utilizing piano wire, buckets of oil to dampen wire movement, and electronic micrometers. But with Schaeffer Precision Alignment’s laser tracker process for turbine alignment we can dramatically improve the accuracy and speed by which turbines are inspected and aligned.

Many of our previous metrology clients have found that they receive an unexpected value after our team has performed an alignment. The amount of money saved in reduced downtime more than pays for the alignment service that Schaeffer Precision Alignment performs. The return on investment then continues to pay forward as the turbine performs more efficiently for years to come.
