How often should a machine's alignment be checked after initial setup?

The frequency of checking a machine's alignment after its initial setup is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and preventing issues. Regular alignment checks are essential, especially following significant maintenance actions or changes to the machine's environment. After every major service, the machine may have components disassembled or reconfigured, which can impact its alignment.

Ensuring proper alignment can help prevent excessive wear on both the machine and the components it interacts with, reduce vibration, and improve efficiency. Regular checks after each major service will help catch any alignment issues promptly, ensuring the machinery operates smoothly and reliably over time.
