CENTRALIGN Ultra - Bore alignment in combustion engines, compressors, pumps and gearboxes

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document outlines the CENTRALIGN® Ultra system, a precision laser alignment tool designed for bore alignment in combustion engines, compressors, pumps, and gearboxes. It replaces older optical and wire-based methods, offering faster and more precise measurements.

Specifications
The system uses a laser beam and patented universal pointer brackets to eliminate mechanical and sag errors. It is capable of aligning bores, bearing pedestals, and other circular machine elements. The system is based on the ROTALIGN® Ultra platform, allowing for extensions to shaft alignment, flatness, and straightness applications.

Procedures
Alignment is achieved in three steps: selecting bore types, inputting compensation values, and adding bores to setups. The system provides on-screen guidance and a measurement table for reviewing repeatability and accuracy. Results are traceable to national standards and displayed in color graphics.

Advantages
The system offers relative bore centerline measurement, universal pointer brackets for various bore diameters, and ease of handling with lightweight components. It supports both magnetic and nonmagnetic bores and provides precise, user-independent measurements.

Applications
Applicable in shipyards, marine services, energy sector, and oil and gas industries for tasks such as stern tube alignment, turbine alignment, and compressor maintenance.

Additional Features
The system includes patented brackets for high accuracy and flexibility, allowing measurement of more than three points at any position. It supports RF data transmission for wireless communication with the ROTALIGN® Ultra computer.

Conclusion
CENTRALIGN® Ultra offers a comprehensive solution for bore laser alignment, enhancing precision and efficiency in industrial applications.
