The LEVALIGN EXPERT has been selected by the subscribers to Plant Engineering magazine as a winner in the 2011 Product of the Year Awards. The annual Product of the Year recognition, now in its 24th year, is the manufacturing and engineering industry standard for new product achievement.

"Winners are selected by a vote of qualified Plant Engineering subscribers – the engineers who buy, specify and use these products on a daily basis. They are the most qualified people you can find to understand how new products reduce energy costs, ensure safety and improve productivity on the manufacturing plant floor. That’s why the Plant Engineering Product of the Year award is so highly regarded in our industry." —Bob Vavra, editor of Plant Engineering magazine

The Product of the Year awards will be presented at the 2012 Awards Dinner, presented by Plant Engineering and Control Engineering, to be held next March in Chicago.

Congratulations to Mark McLeod from The Walt Disney Company, the winner of our SheaveMaster GREENLINE pulley alignment giveaway. Thank you to everyone who participated.

"I used the GREENLINE to check the alignment of a gear box and wheel assembly. There are 4 of them that turn a 100-foot drum so all 4 wheels need to be aligned properly. The gearmotor was used as the reference point instead of the frame since with the GREENLINE it was very accurate. I found that the alignment was off and confirmed it with a ½ hour procedure we normally use and it was indeed out of alignment. This will increase the life of the wheel assembly by 2 to 3 times thus saving a replacement needed in just 2 years. Thanks for a very well made product that shortened the alignment process substantially." —Mark McLeod, The Walt Disney Company

“I received my SheaveMaster Greenline. Thank you very much. As a Vibration Analyst, I always recommend getting alignment products so my customers can resolve issues that I identify with my VibXpert. Now with my new Greenline, I can show them the real product. This is win - win and very much appreciated.” —Lou Hoffis, Troy Motor Service
