Demonstrating X-Series™ laser shaft alignment systems and sharing nearly 60 years of alignment expertise
Hamar Laser Instruments is headed to Raleigh, North Carolina, for the 34th Annual SMRP Conference, September 28 – October 1, 2026.
Visit us at Booth 928 to see our X-Series™ laser shaft alignment systems in action and talk with the Hamar Laser team about your rotating equipment alignment applications.
The SMRP Annual Conference brings together maintenance, reliability, and physical asset management professionals from across the industry. Whether you work with pumps, motors, gearboxes, compressors, turbines, or other critical rotating equipment, proper shaft alignment plays an important role in improving equipment reliability and reducing unplanned downtime.
X-Series™ Laser Shaft Alignment Systems
Hamar Laser’s X-Series™ laser shaft alignment systems are designed to make precision shaft alignment faster, easier, and more repeatable.
Available in 3-axis and 5-axis configurations, X-Series combines high-accuracy laser measurement with our Couple6™ software to guide technicians through setup, measurement, correction, and documentation.
X-Series systems offer:
- 3-axis and 5-axis laser shaft alignment options
- Dual-Beam™ laser technology
- Easy-to-use Couple6™ alignment software
- Modular hardware and software options
- Rugged systems designed for industrial environments
- 5-Year Unconditional Warranty
Stop by Booth 928 for a hands-on demonstration and see how X-Series can be configured for your alignment applications.
Alignment Training at SMRP 2026
Hamar Laser’s Terry Southall will also lead two educational sessions during this year’s conference focused on shaft misalignment, its effects on rotating equipment, and modern alignment methods.
The True Cost of Misalignment in Rotating Equipment
September 29, 2026
2:45 PM – 3:45 PM
Meeting Room 301AB
This one-hour presentation will explore the operational and financial costs associated with shaft misalignment in pumps, motors, compressors, and other rotating equipment. Topics will include common causes of misalignment, its effects on bearings, couplings, seals, vibration, and energy consumption, and how improved alignment practices can increase equipment reliability.
Misalignment in Rotating Equipment: Causes, Corrections, and Modern Alignment Methods
October 1, 2026
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Room 306B
This four-hour workshop takes a deeper look at shaft misalignment, including installation errors, baseplate and foundation issues, thermal growth, operational influences, correction techniques, and the evolution from traditional alignment methods to modern laser-based measurement systems.
Participants will learn how better alignment practices can help reduce failures, extend equipment life, and improve overall reliability.
Bring Us Your Alignment Challenges
We’ve been solving difficult alignment and precision measurement problems for nearly 60 years.
If you’re dealing with recurring shaft alignment problems, excessive vibration, premature bearing or seal failures, difficult machine configurations, or an alignment application that your current equipment struggles to handle, bring the problem with you.
Our alignment specialists will be available at SMRP to discuss your application and help determine the right approach.
