EINDHOVEN, Netherlands, March 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fluke Corporation today announced the launch of the RotAlign Core and RotAlign Elite, two new laser shaft alignment systems under its flagship RotAlign brand.

Built on Fluke’s proprietary single-laser dual-detector technology, the new alignment systems offer a simplified dual-product portfolio designed to significantly enhance ease of use and scalability. According to research by Censuswide, downtime costs manufacturers up to €1.4 million per hour, with passive downtime events lasting up to 72 hours—costing over €35 million per incident. Shaft misalignment alone accounts for 50% of unplanned downtime, while also increasing energy consumption and accelerating equipment wear.

Simultaneously, maintenance teams face mounting pressure to do more with fewer resources, making avoidable rework—such as remeasuring alignments—a critical source of inefficiency.

The RotAlign Core and RotAlign Elite are engineered to address these challenges and support the transition to predictive maintenance. New software-driven features include customizable reporting, direct email alerts, an ROI calculator, and an exclusive Video Replay function. Available on the RotAlign Elite, Video Replay allows users to filter out interfering measurement results without the need for retesting, significantly saving time, accelerating job completion, and ensuring uptime.

“Manufacturers today are not starving for data; they are starving for insight and verifiable returns,” said Vineet Tewari, Chief Product Officer at Fluke. “The RotAlign Core and Elite are designed to eliminate costly rework, preserve critical expertise amid workforce changes, and help organizations shift from reactive maintenance to predictive strategies with measurable ROI.”

Tewari continued, “This challenge will only intensify. As the retirement rate of maintenance professionals accelerates, tools must capture not just measurement data, but technical and strategic know-how. We are actively innovating to break down barriers to market entry by building usability features and simplifying tools to meet this evolving need.”
