LOL, latest laser technology?
If you went back fur enuff into the archives of that website You'd find a few papers authored by little ole me.


I have 5 of the regular rotalign systems and 2 rotalign pro systems. Bought em in the late 90's and early 2000's ....
Cost is about $30k each and another $5k or so per year for maintenance/calibration.
Haven't found any reason to "upgrade" to the rotalign ultra yet.
Here's the cases for the optional magnetic brackets:



Our typical alignment tolerance is under .002" offset and under .0015" angularity for 3600 rpm, tighter for higher RPM or closer couplings.
It gets more complicated when allowing for thermal growth.

A piece of paper is .004" thick.

Oh and I have an optalign invisible beam system or two lying around, any offers?
