Laser Shaft Alignment systems should be properly maintained for optimal performance. Dirty sensors (laser and detector lens) can lead to non-repeatable measurement results. All system components should be stored properly in the carry case to prevent damage to said components.
Even when we are going to perform an alignment on a piece of equipment, it is a good practice to record a pre-alignment measurement to document or maybe explain any possible issues later.
The Fixturlaser PAT uses the pulley groove as the reference, allowing you to achieve a precise belt alignment which reduces wear, bearing failures and vibrations.
Proper use of any tool is essential to success in achieving your desired goal. Many tools have optional configurations to adapt that tool to your needs. Fixturlaser Precision Alignment Systems are no different. The alignment tools produced by Acoem/Fixturlaser are second to none in ease of use. The Acoem AB design engineers do all they can to provide the end user with an alignment tool that can be
Regardless of whether upkeep specialists are utilizing Rim and Face or Reverse Dial Indicator Sets, or any of the laser shaft arrangement frameworks they are on the whole making progress toward a similar result. Which is to have the rotational shaft centerlines of the driver and driven machine(s) adjusted (collinear) in the vertical and flat planes when the machines are working.
When laser alignment tools are not repeatable, it’s not the laser – IT’S YOU.
The initial set of alignment results indicated horrible angular misalignment (14 to 16 times tolerance) and offset misalignment (6 to 8 times tolerance) in the vertical and horizontal planes
Thermal growth is not rocket science. However, it is often misunderstood. We see people causing harm by compensating for thermal growth incorrectly.
The Fixturlaser SMC is designed to be used by machinery mechanics to give a clear and accurate automatic diagnosis of rotating equipment. Requires no vibration expertise or internet connection.
The Fixturlaser SMC is a powerful machinery diagnostics tool that requires no vibration expertise. After the user has built their machine in the box, the SMC will diagnose the machine's faults in a matter of seconds utilizing the Accurex automatic diagnosis software.
Dial indicator bar sag describes a bending of the hardware used to support a dial indicator or other part which spans the coupling. The bending action occurs as a result of gravity and cannot be totally eliminated in almost all cases of alignment.
