Laser Alignment ToolsLaser Alignment Tools in IndustryIn industry today, any single machine installation that includes a motor driving a pump, motor, mixer, fan or some other device is considered a rotating machine. Power transmission can be by belt, coupling or cardan shaft. Multiple machines can be involved. Gearboxes, generators or other components can be connected. With all of these machines - industrial machines that must operate regularly, dependably and efficiently - maintenance is a given. Problems are as well, sooner or later. When they occur and manifest themselves as excessive vibration, bearing failure, or cracked or broken shafts, the root cause is most often misalignment. Today's modern laser alignment tools - designed and engineered for easy, quick and incredibly accurate alignment of rotating machine applications - make the once time-consuming, mistake-prone process of alignment by manual, mechanical devices a thing of the past. No systems more epitomize the many advantages of state-of-the-art laser alignment than the Fixturlaser GO and Fixturlaser XA systems. Both deliver everything found in today's high-end laser alignment tools. Align and go with Fixturlaser GOEven the most value-priced Fixturlaser system, Fixturlaser GO, embodies the company's concept of "Express Alignment by Fixturlaser." This uncomplicated laser alignment tool puts sophisticated technology to work to make it easy to measure, get results, align, re-measure to confirm alignment, and then document the data - all on behalf of efficiency, productivity and machine life. Fixturlaser GO features
The Fixturlaser GO Software Package includes:
Laser Alignment Technology - there's no higher-performing system than Fixturlaser XAIn feature after feature, the Fixturlaser XA system is the ultimate expression of "Express alignment by Fixturlaser." And a maintenance technician doesn't need to be a previous expert in alignment to use this laser alignment tool. Fixturlaser XA on-screen guidance The entire alignment process is viewed in simple-to-understand 3D Macromedia® Flash™ animations on the display unit's backlit touch screen. Figures and arrows show measurement results required for alignment. Color-coding makes interpretation quick. Perform the most common alignments, with options for other types With this laser alignment tool, application programs for horizontal and vertical shaft alignment, built-in target values, and Soft Chec™ come standard. Optional expansion kits can upgrade Fixturlaser XA for aligning machine trains, offset-mounted machines and measuring dynamic movements. Other optional applications measure misalignment between diaphragm couplings, and alignment of vertical, flange-mounted machinery.Fixturlaser XA laser alignment technologyCCD-technology and line lasers make measurements fast and accurate, for an exact measurement result no matter where the laser beam strikes the detector. There is little or no need for rough alignment, ambient light is suppressed, and side spots that could interfere with measurements are rejected. Wireless data transfer Wireless operation means a technician can move the display unit around the work area with complete freedom of movement, a helpful feature when couplings are one place and adjustments are another. Two value-priced laser alignment tools: Shaft Hog and Belt HogShaft Hog The value-priced Shaft Hog unit fits comfortably in one hand and displays live data on a sharp, monochromatic display. The display's instant feedback eliminates guesswork and the back-and-forth of trying to align machines when shimming or moving them. Belt Hog The Belt Hog is an inexpensive, simple-to-operate pulley alignment tool that reduces belt breaks and bearing failures. It's the only one on the market with two laser transmitters; and it mounts directly in belt or pulley grooves to check and correct alignment.
