 Testimonial

“As an engineering company specializing in motor works and servicing, as well as installation of electrical systems, we must have an effective structure that not only save us time during operation, but also achieve maximum productivity with accuracy and precision.

This is particularly true for shaft alignment as it is the lifeblood of motors and generation systems; therefore we have to make sure that we are equipped with the best shaft alignment tools. This is where SLS introduced us to the SKF Shaft Alignment Tool TKSA-41, an advanced laser alignment solution for achieving accurate shaft alignments.

The TKSA-41 is easy to use, yet packed with loads of features that are extremely beneficial to our operation. Apart from achieving greater precision in alignment measurement, the automatic reports function is especially useful and allows us to customize our reports with notes and images; previously we had to generate our reports manually and it was a cumbersome task, this feature has saved us so much time!    

I was impressed with the commitment shown by the SLS team; after purchasing the shaft alignment tool, we were provided with comprehensive training sessions on how to operate the new tool. The SLSPro engineers were very knowledgeable and took us step-by-step throughout the entire operation process and provide additional support whenever we require technical assistance. Their dedication in service is truly outstanding, good work, SLS! “
