Misalignment is a common cause of damage to rotating machinery. Despite this, it is often overlooked by engineers due to the misconception that alignment takes too long. Instead, mechanical maintenance teams and facilities engineers opt to treat the symptoms of misalignment by, for example, replacing bearings, couplings, belts, or seals. However, Fluke's 831 Laser Shaft Alignment Tool and 835 Laser Belt Alignment Tool facilitate quick and simple shaft alignment for coupled and belt-driven rotating machinery, potentially saving you thousands!

Last year as winter descended and energy prices rose, news outlets were awash with reports about charities, councils, and insurance companies using thermal imaging to pinpoint sources of heat loss. These stories made headlines because they detailed an innovative method that enabled patrons/customers to target insulation work effectively, subsequently reducing their energy consumption, heating bills, and carbon emissions. What in 2022 began as a little-known method of optimising energy efficiency has become increasingly popular throughout 2023. Now, as winter creeps in once more, ensuring homes are energy efficient is crucial. That’s why Teledyne FLIR has provided some top tips on what to look out for when conducting a thermal survey of your home. Continue reading →

Rising energy prices and environmental urgency have inspired charities, councils, and companies across the UK to look for innovative methods of maximising the efficiency of British homes. One such method is thermal imaging. In 2022, we brought you multiple reports of organisations, including the charity Cambridge Carbon Footprint; South Somerset District Council; and Octopus Energy, providing thermal cameras to property owners for the purpose of identifying heat loss. Armed with this information, householders could target their insulation efforts effectively. Subsequently reducing their energy consumption, bills, and emissions. 2023 has seen even more councils and organisations adopt similar policies. Below are just a few instances that made headlines.

This year’s International Men’s Day theme is “Zero Male Suicide”. One of the issues International Men’s Day aims to raise awareness of is the male suicide crisis. Men are three times more likely to die by suicide than women; a trend that is sadly concentrated within the construction industry, a male-dominated sector. The stigma surrounding mental illness and talking about mental health, particularly amongst men, has long been considered a factor contributing to rates of suicide. To redress this, the charity Mates in Mind and the online construction-based community On the Tools have set up initiatives to encourage honest discussions about mental well-being amongst construction workers.
