Introducing the VibrAlign V180 - the simplest, fastest laser alignment tool at a breakthrough price.

February 17, 1998 - Richmond, VA - VibrAlign, Inc. announced today the introduction of the new VibrAlign V180 alignment system for measurement and alignment of coupled rotating machines with horizontal shafts. The system, the first precision laser alignment tool priced under $5,000, is intended for use by maintenance, repair, quality, and service departments as well as by personnel responsible for production and productivity in virtually any industry.

Featuring laser accuracy, live readings from dual-laser detectors, and an extremely easy-to-learn user interface, the VibrAlign V180 system is a much faster, easier way to align machinery than using traditional dial indicators. And studies show that properly aligned machinery vibrates less, is more reliable, costs less to operate and lasts longer. Its hand-held, battery operated display unit has a display screen and just 4 buttons to operate the system. The buttons intuitively step the user through the measurement of horizontal alignment. The screen displays live readings at all feet, making the correction of misalignment fast and easy. The VibrAlign V180 gives users maximum usability and a quick return on investment.

The VibrAlign V180 is powered with standard batteries (3 C cells). Approximately 24 hours of continuous operation are obtained from a set of batteries. The system is delivered in a rugged case and includes all the equipment required for horizontal shaft alignment.

Ron Sullivan, President of VibrAlign noted: "The VibrAlign V180 system is designed to bring the benefits of precision laser alignment to every facility with rotating equipment. Its ease-of-use coupled with a breakthrough low price under $5,000 makes it an accessible tool for everyone. Our extensive market research told us that many more people would perform precision alignments if only there were an affordable, simple to use system available - now there is. The VibrAlign V180 has the potential to do for the alignment industry what personal computers did for the computing business".

VibrAlign, Inc. offers precision alignment and vibration services, and training. In addition to the VibrAlign V180 system, VibrAlign is the exclusive distributor of Fixturlaser laser alignment systems in the United States.
