Passion for precision

A family company in the world market

Precision that is the benchmark.

Curiosity that is the impulse.

Right at the outset this claim has

driven us in setting global standards
for high-tech measurement and testing
systems for industrial maintenance
and quality assurance. With intelligent
and precise measurement and testing
systems, high standards continue to be
achieved worldwide presenting
innovative solutions to customers in
the fields of machinery alignment,
condition monitoring in machinery and
non-destructive testing of materials.

The spirit of discovery among the

companys employees, their drive for
innovation and openness to new ideas
have only one goal to find exactly the
right solution that will help the customer
anywhere in the world. 20 operational
marketing, service, development and
production locations exporting to more
than 70 countries and engaging more
than 500 employees worldwide is more
than sufficient proof.

Experience that is trust.

Established in 1972 by Dieter Busch,
this family concern now under the
second generation stewardship of Dr
Sebastian Busch, has established itself
as the market leader within its field.
The company has retained its mediumsized business roots and traditions.
With its lean structures, it remains
flexible and efficient. PRUFTECHNIK
accepts the obligation of being a
reliable and competent partner for our
customers. A partner at hand when
required.

The future has long since begun and

PRUFTECHNIK is not only prepared for it
but also shaping it.

Alignment Systems
Everything for smooth running

Minor cause, major impact!

When shafts are well-aligned with their
axes colinear machines run smoothly.
Misalignment is the underlying cause for
around 50% of all machine failures. The
ensuing downtime, production losses and
repairs can generate staggering costs.

The answer to these problems is provided

by laser-based measurement systems.

Our products and services:

Monitoring of
positional changes

Shaft alignment

Straightness & flatness

Our laser-based, contact-free

alignment systems measure
to a precision of one
thousandth of a millimeter.
They calculate the correction
values needed to achieve
good alignment and record
the alignment condition.

The straightness and

flatness of surfaces, foundations, machine beds, tables
and flanges can be measured
down to 1/1000 of a
millimeter.

Very small positional changes

in machines can be recorded
by a non-contacting method
during operation. Machine
operators use this information to initiate appropriate
measures to compensate for
shifts in position.

Alignment of bores
and bearing shells

Roll parallelism
measurement

ALIGNMENT CENTER
PC-Software

Laser systems now make it

possible to objectively determine whether or not circular
machine components as
they are used in turbines
are truly circular, and record
the information for future
use.

Parallel rolls in paper machines are critical for paper

quality. A new, patented
procedure makes it possible
for the first time to quickly
obtain precise information
on the exact position of the
rolls in a system.

ALIGNMENT CENTER is the

PC software common to all
alignment systems. It can
be used to clearly visualize
measurement results in
graphic displays, and to
record and archive the data.

Condition Monitoring
The low-vibration machine is the better machine

Measuring systems
for every requirement
specialists for every
challenge:
Optimal production and
smooth processes are only
possible when machines
run without vibration.
The identification of
problematic machine
conditions and more
importantly the
elimination of their
causes is the business of
the Condition Monitoring
Division. We provide
innovative analysis systems
and specialists experienced
in this field.

Our products and services:

Data collectors &

vibration analyzers
Portable measuring devices
are used for the routine
monitoring of machine
conditions.
When measurement values
are elevated, the equipment
delivers reliable information
on the causes.

Machine protection
systems
To ensure productivity
where online monitoring
systems do not yet appear
cost-effective, machine
protection systems are
indispensable.

Online continuous
monitoring systems
Permanently installed
measuring systems monitor
machines critical to
production around the
clock. Fault messages are
automatically sent to the
operator by E-Mail or SMS.

Certified diagnostic center

The Service & Diagnostic
Center, founded in 2005,
excels in offering know-how
in the following sectors and
disciplines:

Certified monitoring of
wind turbines
Telediagnosis of marine
and industrial systems
Temporary telediagnosis
services (TTS)
Evaluation services (CPC)

Load measurements
(torque, bending moment,
load distribution)
Natural vibration and
noise analyses
Consultation & training
24-hour Service

Nondestructive Testing
Only detected faults can be prevented

40 years experience a good basis for the

future. At NDT we ensure that manufacturers
of semi-finished products and their customers
obtain products of the best possible quality.
Our eddy current and flux leakage testing
equipment of the EDDYCHEK and NOVAFLUX
series detect flaws in semi-finished metal
products, which are then marked and sorted
out. Our systems are also employed in the
optimization of production processes and the
reduction of scrap.

Our applications can be found in the following areas:

Tube mills
Tube manufacturers use
NDT devices coupled with
a variety of sensors for
tube leakage testing. The
testing method meets the
requirements of recognized
international standards.

Wire production
Wire drawing lines and
recoiling plants employ eddy
current testing together with
rotating systems, which excel
in the reliable detection of
longitudinal defects and
grooving.

Special tube applications

Special sensors and testers
developed specifically for this
field enable the inspection of
thick-walled tubing.

Bar mills
Producers of high quality
steel bar rely on the latest
NDT product, a magnetic
flux leakage tester, for
detecting very small cracks
and imperfections on black
and bright steel bar.

Hot rolling mills

Water-cooled sensors
are used in eddy current
testing at temperatures of
up to 1200 C and at very
high speeds to create flaw
statistics and monitor the
production process.

Manufacture of
formed parts
NDT testing equipment
checks cold heading wire
before it enters a cold
former, without interrupting
the production process.
After forming, the defective
parts are automatically
sorted out.
