Mining, Tunnelling & Industrial Alignment
MOBA’s range of lasers for mining, tunnelling and industrial alignment applications.
Challenges for Mining and IndustrY
The industrial alignment sector contends with complex technical challenges such as achieving and maintaining sub-millimeter precision over extended distances in environments subject to vibration, thermal variation, and structural movement. Operations often take place in confined or hazardous settings—such as underground or explosive atmospheres—demanding intrinsically safe and ruggedised equipment.Â
Additional constraints include limited line-of-sight, difficult mounting conditions, and the need for rapid setup and calibration to minimise operational downtime, all of which necessitate highly specialised and reliable alignment systems.
SAFETY
Safety is of paramount importance on any modern worksite and MOBA's range of products for industrial alignment can help you avoid hazards in your everyday operations.
Precision
Whether working under-ground or above-ground, precision and accuracy are important drivers of success for any project.
Operating Costs
Uncontrolled digging, cutting or drilling leads to re-work, extended hours and higher fuel and maintanance bills.
High precision laser systems
The right solution for your project
MOBA’s lasers and alignment systems are specifically engineered to address the demanding conditions of the mining and tunnelling industry. With intrinsically safe designs for hazardous environments, rugged housings built to withstand vibration and moisture, and high-precision diode laser technology, MOBA systems ensure accurate alignment even in low-visibility, confined spaces. Easy installation with flexible mounting options and long operational life reduce setup time and maintenance, enabling consistent, reliable performance in challenging underground applications.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE SYSTEMs for industrial alignment
Intrinsically Safe Lasers
Lasers for work in gaseous environments
MOBA’s intrinsically safe lasers provide precise alignment and construction support for tunnels built using tunnel boring machines, drill and blast methods, pipe jacking, or conventional hand techniques. Designed for use in hazardous environments like methane/air mixtures, these units do not require explosion-proof housing. Built from durable stainless steel and brass, they are fully waterproof and rugged. Featuring diode laser technology and long-lasting internal batteries, they deliver extended operating time for demanding underground applications.
Advantages
- Intrinsically safe - explosion-proof containment not required
- All metal construction to withstand harshest environments
- Powered by standard size batteries to ensure you never run out of power
- Long distance and long operating time versions available
- Available with a range of accessories developed to simplify set-up
Mining and Tunnelling Lasers
Lasers for mining and tunnelling
MOBA’s lasers ensure precise tunnel alignment across all construction methods, including tunnel boring machines, drill and blast, pipe jacking, and traditional hand techniques.
