Introducing the L-708 Laser Bore Alignment System
Hamar Laser’s L-708 Laser Bore Alignment
System is the most accurate, versatile and
portable bore alignment laser system available.
The system can be used for a variety of bore
alignment and measurement applications,
including engine block bearings, compressor
bores, shaft bearing bores, and stern tubes.
Misaligned bearing bores cause premature
failure and require frequent replacement, more
downtime and higher maintenance costs.
Accurately aligned bores last longer and
prevent bigger problems before they occur.
Hamar Laser’s patented, self-centering target
adapter technology simplifies the setup process
and reduces setup time to minutes rather than
hours. Setting up the system takes only 15 to
20 minutes and alignments are performed up to
three times faster than those done with optical bore scopes or tight wires. Alignment data is real time, so
misaligned bores can be brought into tolerance very quickly.
Briefly, the system setup process is as follows:
•
The A-514 Bore Adapters are adjusted to the desired bore radius using the Leg Setting Gage.
•
The L-708 Laser and A-512 Target are inserted into their Bore Adapters.
•
The entire laser and target assemblies are inserted into the two reference bores, where they self-
center.
•
The laser’s angular adjustment knobs are used to set/tilt the laser to zero on the target, establishing
the reference bore centerline.
• With the laser now parallel to the end bores, the target can be moved (or a second target may be
added) to inner bores for alignment checks.
• Since alignment data in the target updates in the readout automatically, any errors can be adjusted
using the target as a live indicator.
