I never even got a chance to look at the OPTALIGN SMART tool when it arrived.  My guys snapped it up and went to work with it and all reports are that they LOVE it.  They have probably done 20-30 motors with it since it arrived a few days ago.

The OPTALIGN SMART is a wonderful instrument.
We are finding out how far out the alignments
were when done with dial indicators.

Our shaft alignment systems feature the patented automatic CONTINUOUS SWEEP measurement mode which evaluates hundreds of readings during shaft rotation. This compares to
shooting a movie vs. only taking flash pictures at certain intervals. The end result is less shimming
and horizontal moves because you are measuring much more accurately.
