PIX-X'Align® Laser-guided Pulley Alignment Tool
PIX-X'Align® is a robust, laser-guided pulley alignment instrument used to correct pulley misalignment in a drive, helping users obtain the maximum service life from their belts. It replaces slow, error-prone straight-edge and naked-eye methods with a fast, accurate laser alignment procedure.
Product Description
Misaligned pulleys are a common problem in belt-driven machines. Pulleys that are not properly aligned increase noise and vibration levels and cause uneven belt tensioning, which in turn leads to belt slippage, premature belt failure, pulley wear, expensive machine downtime and inefficient drive operation. PIX-X'Align® uses a precision laser line, magnetically mounted on the pulley face, to make horizontal and vertical misalignment instantly visible so it can be corrected on the spot.
Traditional low-tech alignment methods rely on trial and error, naked-eye observation and estimation, all of which leave a wide margin for error that is unacceptable on today's precision machinery. Laser alignment is now the industry-standard method for accurately realigning belts, pulleys, sheaves, sprocket drives and other wear components, and PIX-X'Align® delivers this with usability, accuracy and durability suited to everyday plant use.
