During a recent class in a shipyard, there was a need to perform a Cardan Shaft Alignment in a boat with very little space to work in. It also required shooting the lasers through a hole in a bulkhead.

It was a challenge, but the guys rose to it and the result

The augmented mechanic’s solution – RT-300 – is a smart reliability tool that combines on-the-spot machine diagnostics with tools for pre-alignment and precision shaft alignment, minimizing the time from fault diagnostics to corrective actions.
ECOTECH Pty Ltd, ACOEM’s Australian subsidiary, is now helping to shape the longevity and sustainability of industrial and mining machinery across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The integration of Statewide Bearings’ (SWB Plus) Condition Monitoring & Fixturlaser Laser Alignment team into ECOTECH represents another step forward in ACOEM’s mission
Fixturlaser SMC-EX: Automatic diagnostic capabilities, EXtended…
The Fixturlaser SMC-EX is a Smart Machinery Checker designed for use in explosive atmosphere ATEX Zone 2 (EX II 3 G, Ex ic IIC T4 Gc).
It has all the advantages that Fixturlaser SMC has, therefore automatically checks the health of rotating machines in minutes, and benefits of a superior design fitting to the need of the expl
Like no other, the Fixturlaser SMC is a portable, machinery diagnostic tool that allows mechanics and maintenance technicians to check the health of any rotating machine, as needed, in a matter of minutes. It requires no special training or certification and generates straightforward, simple machine diagnostic reports with both confidence and severity levels.
The Fixturlaser Runout Probe, an accessory for the Fixturlaser NXA Pro and Fixturlaser NXA Ultimate, is an electronic tool designed to detect and measure shaft runout and pipe strain. Runout and pipe strain are often overlooked, but when present they can confound the measurement and correction of shaft alignment.
The Fixturlaser NXA Pro has been selected as the laser shaft alignment tool to be used in the Industrial Mechanic Millwright competition at this year’s WorldSkills event, being held in Abu Dhabi on October 15-18.

The Fixturlaser EVO, introduced to the global market in April of 2014 by Acoem AB, (former Elos Fixturlaser AB), has been named a Gold Product of the Year by Plant Engineering Magazine. This is the second year in a row that a Fixturlaser alignment system has been named a Product of the Year in the Maintenance Tools & Equipment category.
User friendly and time saving functions to free up time and to reduce the number of production stoppages; the improved Fixturlaser GO Pro alignment tool has the needs of the maintenance professional at heart.
