ROTALIGN overview
The ROTALIGN system mounted across a machine coupling
The ROTALIGN laser alignment system:
BRACKETS used to mount the laser and receiver securely on the
shaft on either side of the machine coupling*.
LASER fitted to the machine shaft on one side of the machine
coupling, shines a beam across the coupling*. The
beam has no sag and is extremely straight.
RECEIVER fitted to the shaft on the other side of the coupling*;
contains two sensors to detect the precise position and
angle of the incident laser beam.
COMPUTER connects to the receiver; calculates the machine align-
ment from data collected from the receiver during
shaft rotation. The machines can then be aligned with
aid of a "live" graphical display. The ROTALIGN
computer can also be connected to a PC with the
ROTALIGN Commander software (page 6-16).
*The laser and receiver can be mounted on the coupling or on the
inside faces of the coupling when the spacer element is removed.
