Alignment Tip
Alignment & Ambient Vibration
Often, vibration caused by other operating machinery can migrate through foundations, bases, and even piping, and adversely affect your alignment. This is often evident as non-repeatability of measurement results.
Non-repeatability of results translates into non-repeatability of corrections. Garbage in, garbage out. In higher-end laser alignment systems, the “measuring average”, or amount of readings being taken per measurement point, can be increased. This increase in measurements stabilizes the data and “filters” out the ambient vibration.
