Spirex Corporation Partners With The ADVANCED Team, Inc. To Provide Laser Extruder Barrel Alignment Services
Youngstown, OH - The ADVANCED Team, Inc. has partnered with Spirex Corporation, to provide customers with expert barrel alignment services.
The ADVANCED Team, Inc., has developed a unique and geometrically superior system for the measurement and alignment of extruder barrels. Laser Extruder Barrel Alignment extends the life of extruder barrels and screws by precisely positioning the feed throat and output end of the extruder to coincide with the gearbox output center of rotation.
Extruders are critical to the plastics industry. Proper alignment of the feed throat and the barrel are critical to long life of the barrels and screws. A laser transmitter is installed on the gearbox output shaft and adjusted to represent the center of rotation of the gearbox output to within 0.5 mils or better (0.0005"). A detector inserted into the feed throat and output end enables the data to be collected in under 5 minutes. Position adjustments are made "live". Typically, the barrel can be aligned to within 0.001" of the OEM or customer specification, horizontally and vertically, with respect to the gearbox output shaft.
