Cardan Shaft Alignment in the Belly of a Boat
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.
Looking from the S sensor through the bulkhead at the M Sensor mounted on engine output shaft
S Sensor mounted on propulsion unit
It was a challenge, but the guys rose to it -

Using the Verti-Zontal Process on Wind Turbines with Adjustable Chocks
Precision shaft alignment of wind turbine generators mounted on adjustable chocks is as straightforward as when aligning rotating machinery mounted on chocks down at ground level.
In the case of a recent NXA Training Class in a Vestas V82 we knew before going up-tower that one revolution of the adjustable chocks equals 1mm. Also, as there are 6 holes in the chocks, we calculated that the hole t -
Vibration Analysis: Where to Start
Vibration analysis is a useful way to monitor machine health. Many plants have implemented regular vibration analysis plans to ensure the condition of their machines is being checked at regular intervals and so, if an issue comes to light after spectral analysis, a solution can be pursued.
When analyzing vibration, it is important to be familiar with several terms. These are:
Frequency Disp -
This Could Be Difficult!
For the field portion of a recent training class, the decision was made to check the alignment on a plastic extruder. At first glance, checking the alignment of the motor shaft to gearbox input shaft is pretty straightforward. However, the output side of the gearbox had two shafts, so maybe this is not so straightforward. And to complicate things a little more, there are three more chambers co -

Fixturlaser LEVEL
Fixturlaser LEVEL is used for levelling machines or machine parts during installation and gives accurate measurement results. The measuring sensor measures the angular deviations from the surface in two axes using a wide measurement range (± 50 mm/m), high accuracy and with a resolution down to 0.01 mm/m.

Long Distance Rough Alignment with the Coning Method
Recently, we was called to consult with a customer to recommend a procedure and alignment tools for a very long-distance vertical pump alignment. First, we will describe the machine and then how we aligned it. This large raw sewage pump machine train begins at the driver level. In this plant, floor levels are described by relationship to sea level. At the top level (+35), the primary mover, a

Compressor Rod Runout with the Fixturlaser NXA Runout Probe
When measuring runout with the Fixturlaser NXA Runout Probe the best practice is to first measure the coupling for non-circular rotation. If runout is detected, the next step is to measure the shaft to determine if the runout is caused by a bent shaft versus an eccentric coupling
