The need for custom metal parts requires a company that can produce these parts for various industries to keep production running smoothly. From parts the size of a dime to large metal frames, these components make getting a job done with little downtime more efficient. When it comes to keeping these machines calibrated and performing at an optimum level, they need an Alignment Tool in Fort Worth to avoid unnecessary gaps in production.
Industries that use machines to manufacture pre-formed metals and other materials require servicing of these machines to ensure there are no alignment issues. Effects of improper alignment can result in more scrap waste and a higher number of rejected products at the quality inspection phase. An alignment problem could also result in slow production, which can cost a company thousands of dollars in losses. Machines are calibrated at the time of installation and they need to be checked regularly to maintain optimum productivity. Foundation settling and cracks can alter the alignment of a machine without someone noticing until the product no longer meets quality standards. The weight of the material, over time, can also change the alignment and cause problems, which is why a routine calibration schedule is necessary to keep a production line moving.
Traditionally, calibrating a machine could take days, even up to a week to complete, and companies needed various tools to complete the work. A workman would have to carry wires, straight edges, plumb bobs, levels, box square, etc. to complete the calibration on just one machine. Now, with the advances in technology, alignment can be done using lasers, and just one device can reduce the amount of time needed to perform the calibration by 60%-70% of the traditional method. These machines use state-of-the-art technology to align a tool within .001 N in 100 feet for the best accuracy. By using lasers and 3-D grids, alignment problems can be better found and corrected to ensure better performance in production and saving a company money in wasted products.
