Har du någonsin lagt till antalet shims som ditt uppriktningsverktyg säger att du ska göra bara för att upptäcka att din maskin fortfarande inte är korrekt? Detta är en frustrerande men vanlig förekomst. Var det ett beräkningsfel eller gav ditt axeluppriktningsverktyg dig fel information? Mer än troligt är dina shims är skyldiga.
Tolerances for shaft alignment are typically expressed in terms of angle and offset. It is common knowledge that offsets cause confusion, but angularity often confuses those tasked with aligning or verifying alignments.
There are two parts that must be understood, proper phasing and angularity of the input and output shafts.
These are the five questions every maintenance supervisor needs to answer.
To calculate the cost of misalignment, first determine the cost of the machine’s downtime.
We have several times discussed the differences between coupling alignment tolerances and precision shaft alignment tolerances. As stated in those text the coupling manufacture’s tolerances are for the coupling. As maintenance professionals we are concerned with the coupling, however we are more concerned with the bearings in the machines.
Fixturlaser has developed a new shaft alignment tool, Fixturlaser EVO, which features our unique adaptive user interface. The tool’s simplicity in its handling is characteristic for all Fixturlaser tools; an alignment tool that can be handled by all maintenance professionals, and not only experts.
Fixturlaser is proud to announce that the Fixturlaser NXA Pro has received the 2013 Bronze Product of the Year award in the Maintenance Tools & Equipment category. This laser alignment system features many innovations in shaft alignment, including the first use of gyroscopes, improved power management with extended battery life, and a 6.5 inch touch screen with video game style realistic graphics.
The high end product Fixturlaser NXA Ultimate is a complete shaft alignment and geometry measurement tool. It includes all the software that a plant’s maintenance staff needs for obtaining optimal machine condition, already at the machine’s very installation and further on during its life time.
The shaft alignment system Fixturlaser NXA Pro has been nominated as a finalist for the 2013 Product of the Year Award; a competition organized by the US based Plant Engineering Magazine. The competition recognizes the best new industrial products available in the United States. Fixturlaser and VibrAlign, US distributor has had several winners and nominees in previous competitions.
"A revolution in usability" says Elos Fixturlaser's CEO Hans Svensson about the new high-end system for precision shaft alignment, the Fixturlaser NXA. The new laser based shaft alignment tool utilizes the latest technology in digital signal processing. It aims to provide the user with a fast and simple operation, as well as having access to advanced functions and capabilities.
Fixturlaser, a world leading manufacturer of laser based shaft alignment systems, is pleased to announce that the company has, in cooperation with VibrAlign, developed three free apps for the shaft alignment professional: the Align Terms, Laser-Dials, and Therm Align.
Elos Fixturlaser AB continues to develop its operations and has recruited Jaak Ekman as production engineer. Jaak will primarily function as a link between the production department and the R&D department, i.e. to support the production department with production equipment. He will also develop test equipment for our suppliers. Jaak has an extensive experience of working with measurements, usi
Fixturlaser launches a wireless shaft alignment tool, Fixturlaser GO Pro, with an adaptive and time saving user interface. Combined with the function “VertiZontal Moves”, it reduces the risk for incorrect values during the adjustment phase.
Elos Fixturlaser is launching two successors to its best-seller Fixturlaser XA; the Fixturlaser XA Pro – a complete shaft alignment tool, and the Fixturlaser XA Ultimate – shaft alignment and geometric measurements in an ultimate package solution.
The laser-based and wireless shaft alignment tool, Fixturlaser UPADXA, is the first tool of its kind that is truly portable. The wireless display unit is worn on the arm; the user therefore has his hands free and can work in complete freedom.
