Title: Use laser optics for on-stream alignment verification

OSTI ID:5806598

One of the many significant factors influencing machinery reliability in process plants is alignment accuracy. When driven process machines operate in misaligned condition with respect to their drivers, equipment bearings are exposed to additional loads. Vibration severity may increase, bearings will be more highly loaded and equipment life expectancy will diminish. This paper reports on the use of laser optics for on-stream alignment verification.
