When critical sections drift out of level, square, or centerline, problems show up fast: tracking issues, cut inconsistency, vibration, accelerated wear, and constant compensation. Reichel & Drews provides optical alignment services to establish a verifiable baseline and restore the conditions needed for predictable, repeatable operation.
Reichel & Drews is built around roofing production. Alignment decisions are made with a clear understanding of how coating, cooling, cutting, and material handling systems behave in real production environments.
You work with the same experienced technicians, not a rotating pool of alignment specialists. That continuity helps ensure consistency from project to project and allows our team to develop a deeper understanding of your equipment and operating conditions.
Every plant approach maintenance projects differently. Reichel & Drews offers multiple levels of support, ranging from measurement and reporting to fully managed alignment execution.
We perform the optical / laser tracking survey and provide a comprehensive alignment report and baseline assessment.
The survey includes:
Best fit: Plants that want to execute the corrective work internally but need accurate measurement data and OEM-level interpretation.
Once alignment issues have been identified, Reichel & Drews can also support or execute the corrective work required to bring equipment back into alignment.
We work alongside your maintenance personnel or contractors to:
Best fit: Plants that want hands-on OEM support without the cost or scope of a turnkey project.
Reichel & Drews manages the complete alignment project using our:
Best fit: Plants looking to complete alignment, correction, and startup through a single partner.
Alignment is more than a measurement exercise. Whether supporting your team or managing a turnkey project, the objective is to restore operating conditions that remain stable long after the project is complete.
Our approach is designed to identify root causes and create alignment conditions that can be maintained.
Alignment services are often pursued when plants experience:
Alignment projects commonly focus on:
The costs of misalignment often extend far beyond a single component. Read our article to see how alignment issues can affect equipment life, maintenance spending, and production performance.
Alignment work is frequently combined with additional services that help improve long-term equipment performance. Our optional support services include:
Operator and maintenance training
Equipment performance and line audits
Controls evaluation and support
Startup and commissioning assistance
Whether you need a standalone optical alignment survey, assistance correcting alignment issues, or a fully managed alignment project, Reichel & Drews can help establish the foundation for more stable and predictable production performance.
