Redefining the standard of laser shaft alignment

More than fourty years of experience in precision shaft alignment For over four decades, PRÜFTECHNIK Alignment Systems has continued to develop undisputed precision shaft alignment products. The maintenance departments in the top industrial organisations worldwide employ these highlydeveloped and user-friendly systems to measure and align machinery used in the power, chemical, water treatment, production and processing industries. From the numerous PRÜFTECHNIK pat- ents, a good number have been incorporated in the current SHAFTALIGN®. Its straightforward and intuitive operation, combined...

Extend machine availability and efficiency Precision alignment pays back Precision alignment guarantees Rotating machinery is susceptible to misalignment. Machines that are well aligned at the commissioning stage and thereafter regularly maintained, will in the long term reduce both plant operating and maintenance costs. Laser precision alignment extends machine availability as the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) increases. It protects assets and increases product quality, as vibration is reduced to very low levels. When misaligned, the loading of the shafts dramatically increases due to...

Intuitive, innovative and precise Only three steps to the perfect alignment SHAFTALIGN® has been constructed and manufactured for industrial applications, and can be used in extreme working conditions. The computer is dustproof and water spray resistant in accordance with IP 65; the transducer and reflector are both submersible and dustproof in accordance with IP 67. The system’s intuitive auto-flow capability guides the user progressively to enter machine dimensions. The alphanumeric keyboard and the navigation keys ensure comfortable operation of the measurement system. All relevant...

Powerful SHAFTALIGN ® features Sweep measurement mode (optional) SHAFTALIGN ® takes numerous readings to accurately determine the alignment condition with a shaft rotation of as little as 60°. Active clock measurement mode Intelligent and precise alignment due to the activated electronic inclinometer used in this measurement mode. Measurement can be taken at any 3 or 4 positions, rotating in any direction. Sensor angular position is automatically considered in the calculations during shaft positioning, eliminating possible user error. Automatic evaluation of alignment TolChek® – Dynamic...

Standard features Alignment of horizontal, vertical and flange-mounted machines Alignment of coupled, uncoupled and nonrotatable shafts Soft foot check – measure, correct and save results UniBeam® for quick adjustment of the single laser beam Active clock measurement mode Automatic evaluation of alignment condition with TolChek® InfiniRange ® extends detector measurement range to handle gross misalignment QuickCheck – uses a single dimension to display both horizontal and vertical coupling values Static measurement mode – requires any 3 of the 8 available 45° measurement positions Live...

PC software ALIGNMENT CENTER preparing, analyzing and organizing ALIGNMENT CENTER is a Windows® based common PC software platform for current PRÜFTECHNIK alignment instruments and applications. Use ALIGNMENT CENTER to manage your measurement files and data, and use the two-way communication to transfer files from PC to instrument and vice versa. ALIGNMENT CENTER simplifies job preparation as all alignment and measurement specifications including thermal growth compensation and tolerances are saved for future use. Measurement related data is also saved and the measurement history can also be...
