Offering unique possibilities for the wind power industry

There are many applications for the Easy-Laser® systems in the wind power generation industry. It’s a fact that Easy-Laser® is one of the world’s largest suppliers of laser based measurement systems to the manufacturers and service companies of the wind power industry.

This applies to, for example, systems for the alignment of gearboxes and generators, both in production and out in the field during continuous maintenance work. We offer both standard systems and custom made systems for specific makes of turbines. One example is a bracket for use with locked rotor, when the coupling has to be dismounted during alignment for safety or other reasons. Thanks to its clever design, this one bracket fits all MW models from one manufacturer, regardless of coupling size.  

Another large application is the system for measuring flatness on tower flanges. The Easy-Laser® systems can measure not only complete 360° flanges as usual, but also 1/3 and ½ tower sections. A unique possibility is the sectional program, where four sections of a flange are measured, then mathematically merged into a full circle. This method eliminates possible errors caused by the tower weight, especially with large offshore towers (diameters larger than 4 meters). It also makes it safer because the whole measurement can be made at ground floor instead of climbing on tall ladders.

For manufacturers of vanes, we also supply equipment for measuring and aligning the centre line of the jigs, as well as their squareness.

Preparing for life at sea

In the Pacific and Atlantic oceans service stations are few and far between. For Arie Leeuwenburg and his team at On Site Alignment, their mission is to ensure that every vessel makes it safely to shore. “A breakdown at sea can have enormous environmental and economic consequences. Yet, too many companies still disregard proper maintenance,” he says. Read more

Making shaft alignment easier – and more reliable

Pumps and motors are among the most common rotating machinery in the industry. Pumps then vary a lot in design, and how they are set up – horizontally, vertically, etc. But the basic principles of measuring the misalignment and then aligning them are very similar. Our XT laser shaft alignment systems offer many great functions to simplify the job. Not only for pumps but for most rotating machinery actually! Here are some examples. Read more
