John Crane has launched a rugged, accurate and reliable measurement and alignment system. Quality assured to the highest standards the new LASE-A-LIGN EX system has been designed for use in hazardous and potentially explosive environments. This makes it especially suited to the petrochemical, oil, gas and pharmaceutical industries where it can be used on various types of rotating equipment such as motors, pumps, turbines, compressors, gearboxes and blowers.

An extremely durable design makes the stainless steel and anodised aluminium unit resistant to a host of external conditions. It is impact, corrosion, water, dust and leak resistant, approved to both IP66 and IP67, and also complies with the latest ATEX standards (II 2 G EX classification: EEx ib IIC T4) with regard to such hazards as static electricity, electrical sparks, mechanical knocks and friction.

In addition to its horizontal and vertical shaft alignment capabilities, LASE-A-LIGN EX also provides the user with additional programs to measure straightness/twist, vertical and flange-mounted machines, alignments of Cardan-shaft-coupled/centre offset machines and angular error between two rotating shafts.
