Applications

Shaft Alignment

Horizontal Machines

The XA Ultimate is perfect for measuring horizontal alignment conditions but its real power is in helping correct misalignment. The dual sensors allow the XA to maintain the true position of the shafts, even as unintended movements are experienced during the alignment process. The benefit of this "true positon sensing" is that it allows the user to complete the alignment using the Verti-ZontalTM compound move, adjusting in both the vertical and horizontal planes without remeasuring between moves. A Verti-ZontalTM alignment is a great time saver since alignments can be completed in just one or two tries. The XA Ultimate also comes with a number of utility programs to make the alignment process easier. These include SoftcheckTM to control for soft foot conditions, FeetLockTM to deal with base and bolt bound situations, HotCheckTM to calculate the difference between measurements taken in a cold state versus a hot condition, and Target Values, which automatically adjusts the readings to compensate for pre-determined alignment targets based on thermal growth or dynamic movement data.

Vertical Machines

The same power and ease of use found of  the horizontal alignment program can be found in the vertical alignment program. The vertical alignment program is used when aligning flanged-mounted machines.

Machine Train

The XA's machine train routine simplifies the complexity of aligning multiple units with connecting shafts. The software includes a "minimal moves" function which identifies the best reference machine to minimize the number of moves required to complete the alignment.

Spacer Shaft

With spacer shafts there are two power planes of transmission that need to be aligned to the correct tolerances.  The XA spacer shaft program simplifies the process showing both ends of the spacer shaft coupling with an angle/angle display. The alignment is completed using the Verti-ZontalTM move.

Geometric Measurement

Circular Flatness

The circular flatness program measure flatness at different diameters. It us used when measuring the flatness across flanged connections.

Rectangular Flatness

The rectangular flatness program measures in a grid pattern. It is used when measuring the flatness across bases, foundations, etc.

Utilities

Softcheck ™

The SoftcheckTM program measures soft foot coniditions. The XA Ultimate allows the user to enter the SoftcheckTM program at any time during the alignment process for troubleshooting soft foot problems.

FeetLock ™

This program allows the user to test alternate solutions in situations where the movable machine is base bound or bolt bound.

HotCheck ™

This program calculates the appropriate target values for an alignment based on the machine's hot condition and ambient condition. The ultility retrieves  two saved shaft alignment measurements -- one in the machine's cold, or ambient condition and one in the hot conidition -- and then calculates the appropriate target values. Those values can be used the next time to ensure proper alignment at running conditions.

Target Values

Allows the system to compensate for pre-determined alignment targets. The user can establish targets using this function and then go directly to shaft alignment.

Memory Manager

The XA Ultimate's data management function.

Machine Defined Data

A set of machine configuration templates for storing data for individual machines.
