Shaft Alignment

Dependable rotating equipment performance relies on precise alignment between driving and driven shaft centerlines. When shafts are not aligned on a true centerline, machinery reliability is compromised.

Misalignment is a prominent contributor to machinery vibration and should not be underestimated.

Advanced Mechanical Enterprises / AME provides professional shaft alignment services in Fort Lauderdale and around the world, for marine and industrial rotating and reciprocating machinery, helping clients reduce vibration, prevent premature failures, and achieve immediate and longstanding return on investment.

Why Proper Shaft Alignment Matters

Shaft misalignment contributes to expanded vibration, undue mechanical stress, and reduced equipment life. Investing in proper marine shaft alignment and industrial shaft alignment can significantly reduce maintenance costs and unexpected downtime.

Common problems caused by misalignment include:

Excessive wear on mechanical components
Premature equipment failure
Costly downtime
Bearing and seal damage

Shaft bends
Unbalance of rotating components
Rolling-element bearing deterioration
Machinery soft-foot conditions

FARO Tracker | Dimensional Tolerancing and 3D Geometric Survey Measurements

AME's FARO Tracker services provide deeply accurate dimensional measurements for Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) applications. This technology confirms that components meet strict dimensional requirements by comparing as-built conditions to initial design drawings.

Common applications include:

Measuring hole size and surface flatness
Analyzing angular relationships between features

Checking concentricity of bores and shaft runout
Verifying alignment-critical interfaces

FARO Scanning | Point Clouds, Reverse Engineering & Inspection

AME's FARO Scanning services provide malleable solutions for alignment, inspection, and engineering applications. Using leading scanning technology, we capture accurate 3D data for large spaces and complex components.

Applications include:

Point cloud generation for engine rooms, piping systems, machinery spaces, and facilities
Reverse engineering of fabricated or existing components, including CAD overlays and deviation analysis
Restoration and reproduction of obsolete or damaged parts by creating CAD models suitable for CNC or manual fabrication

Whether supporting marine propulsion systems, industrial machinery, or large-scale facilities, FARO scanning contributes actionable data to support alignment accuracy and long-term reliability.
