Laser alignment Tools

[ksprague]

My company is looking into purchasing their own laser alignment tools to aid in-house alignments on large machinery. I'm interested in who has done this, what products you have chosen and why. They are looking to spend 10-15k.

Here is a link to a wide variety of laser shaft alignment tools from several manufacturers. There are a number of quality systems priced below your budgeted number. Click on each product for detailed information and pricing.

I have been using an Optalign laser system for over 15-years. Yes, the same one! The new stuff is at

I am not a salesman for them. They are extremely helpful, and I recommend them. When picking a system, take a look at all machines you intend to align and be sure:
1) Brackets fit on shafts/couplings
2) Heads are small enough to fit in tight places
3) Procedures/features support machine types, installation situations, and environment
4) Expert training and support is available
