Alignment system keeps wind turbines running

A Fixturlaser product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 1, 2002

For efficient generation, wind turbines need regular accurate alignment.

Global warming and the harmful effects of fuel emissions have accelerated the demands for clean and sustainable energy sources.

Improved technology has made it possible to manufacture high yield and low noise turbines capable of generating low cost energy.

Hence, wind power is gradually becoming not only the cleanest, but in many countries, also an economical source of electricity.

Alignment of the turbine parts is necessary to secure highest possible efficiency and a low noise level.

Alignment of wind turbines is carried out at regular intervals.

Quality minded turbine producers chose laser systems to align the propellers, gearboxes, and generators, because Fixturlaser Colibri systems provide optimal alignment for this task.

Fixturlaser AB develops, manufactures, and markets laser-based measurement systems for the alignment and positioning of machines and machine components and is represented in more than 70 countries worldwide.

The company was founded in 1981 and delivered the first laser based alignment system in 1984.
