Peiffer recommends a baseline reading of machine tool alignment for ALL service work, plus regular checks and adjustment as part of any ongoing preventive maintenance program. Recalibration, including a review of machine alignment, is also critical following any machine relocation or repair.
The Importance of Machine Alignment Services
The value of this small investment in the life of your machine cannot be overstated. Machine tools lacking proper alignment and pitch error compensation are not fully productive. Over time, these errors become magnified in faulty machine operation and substandard parts. Who can afford that? We can help you minimize and/or eliminate these costly errors.
Investing in Precision Laser Alignment
To that end, Peiffer’s investment in this technology is significant, as we realize that measuring, restoring, and maintaining alignment for our customers’ machines cannot be compromised. The best metrology tools and the highest levels of training are required for work this important. Our critical “tools of the trade” include:
- Hamar L-743 ULTRA-PRECISION TRIPLE SCAN™ Laser
- Renishaw XL-80 Laser Interferometer
- Renishaw QC20-W Ballbar System

From Our Happy Clients
What We do During a CNC Laser Alignment
1. Setting up the laser on its tripod stand.
2. Installing the optics for the laser inside the machine.
3. Temperature and relative humidity sensors installed inside the machine provide critical readings of these factors for the laser system.
4. Adjusting the position of the laser to align the optics.
5. Adjusting the optics inside the machine for proper alignment.
6. Using a business card to verify the functioning and alignment of the laser (light).
7. Initializing the laser computer program to begin taking readings and generating the report for the customer.
