Alignment
Alignment refers to the procedure of Shaft and geometrical Alignment. With the combination of a software and a hardware, FRS introduces adaptive alignment that enables maintenance team to address, Vertical, angular and Horizontal alignment challenges. The equipment offers new levels of accuracy, speed and elimination of human error. FRS uniquely is the first shaft alignment system in the market to combine high precision onsite measuring task with cloud connectivity for data transfer worldwide.
FRS offers the below as the alignment product line up:
- SHAFTALIGN® TOUCH
- OPTALIGN® TOUCH
- ROTALIGN® TOUCH
- ROTALIGN® TOUCH EX
With all the product range, Horizontal, vertical, coupled, uncoupled, rotatable, and non-rotatable can be aligned precisely. The units have inbuild shaft coupling choices such as short flex, spacer, single plane, cardan shafts, and uncoupled shafts.
Being the only single-laser technology, it is unrivalled in precision and can allow alignment even in grossly misaligned shafts. The friendly user interface can be operated by anyone-just by following the three steps of Alignment: input dimension, measure misalignment, and get the results. By use of Alignment Reliability Center (ARC 4.0 PC) software, a new level of collaboration is spurred between the on-site technicians and managers on strategic reporting and trending of data.
Consequences of Misalignment
- Excess vibration
- Reduced bearing life
- Increased seal wear from shaft bending
- Increased temperature of machines
- Higher energy consumption
- Coupling wear
Benefits of Laser Alignment
- Saves time and effort unlike traditional alignment methods using feeler gauge and dial gauge which is time consuming
- Easy reporting by use of cloud-based storage and inbuild email report sharing
- Quick and easier to read and interpret results
- Longer service life
- Higher product quality
- Lower operational costs
- Increased Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF)
