Outil d'alignement laser - DriveAlign® Laser

This tool quickly identifies the two most common types of misalignment in serpentine belt systems, parallel and angular misalignment, which reduce belt and pulley service life and produce unwanted noise.

Simply place the tool in the grooves of a pulley and aim the laser beam at an opposite pulley.
Any misalignment is instantly visible.

This exclusive Gates tool is compatible with most serpentine belt drives.

This lightweight, easy-to-use tool comes complete with laser-reinforcing goggles for good vision in all lighting conditions.

Gates Laser AT-1

The Gates LASER AT-1 is very quick to assemble. The laser beam projected onto the targets is easy to see. When the beam disappears into the target slots, the machine's Pulleys are aligned. The result is fast, precise alignment.

Noise, abrasion of pulleys, belts and bearings, vibrations and ultimately ... machine downtime due to misaligned pulleys.

You can avoid this by using the LASER AT-1 Pulley Alignment Tool.

The empirical method for measuring misalignment is to put a ruler on the Pulleys. A much faster and more accurate method is the unique LASER AT-1 alignment tool. This tool is installed in seconds, and the laser beam projected onto the "targets" enables you to quickly check and correct the alignment.

The LASER AT-1 detects parallel and angular misalignment of pulleys, and can be used for pulley diameters of 60 mm and over. Thanks to its light weight, the tool can be mounted on non-magnetic pulleys with adhesive tape, and can be used on machines mounted horizontally or vertically.

  • Detects parallel and angular misalignment of Pulleys
  • Faster, more accurate measurement than conventional methods
  • For both horizontally and vertically mounted machines
  • Alignment by a single operator
  • Also suitable for non-magnetic pulleys
