A touch sensitive screen provides the user with a clear and easily operated alignment tool - displaying only the necessary information.
The system is also "self intuitive" and, as such, guides the user towards a perfect alignment result.
The three variants in the range offer increasing levels of functionality.
The entry-level unit, FixturLaser Shaft 30, allows users to undertake shaft alignment of horizontal and vertical machines.
It also offers memory management, repeatability testing as well as Softcheck, a soft foot measurement system, and Feetlock, a bolt bound and base bound solution.
A further function is Tripoint, this enables alignment operations with limited rotation.
The FixturLaser Shaft 100 offers the same base function as the 30 model.
But, in addition, it offers data communication, receiver display, thermal growth compensation and a tolerance table.
The FixturLaser Shaft 200 expands on the 100 by incorporating alignment of offset mounted machines/cardan shafts, alignment of machines with OL2R fixtures, machine train alignment and straightness measurement.
All the models in the Fixturlaser Shaft range can be upgraded through the addition of more comprehensive functions.
This allows users to upgrade the functions following developments as their processes evolve. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
