Measurement and Alignment Systems

Maintenance is savings
In the industry of today, preventive and
predictive maintenance is a matter of course.
When aligning your machines you save
money and you increase the available machine
time. Time which guarantees your income.
Often many machines have to be aligned in a
short time. This puts great demands on the
alignment tool used. That is the reason why
we have developed the EasyLaserTM
measurement and alignment systems.

The benefits of alignment

With your machines properly aligned you avoid or decrease the
risk for unplanned down-time. Typical problems that arise with
misaligned machines are:

systems are developed for even the harshest

environments and designed for easy setup on
machinery.
For maximum usability there are a great
number of measurement programs included in
your Easy-LaserTM system. Moreover the
systems are upgradeable and expandable, as
many accessories are available to help you
solve even difficult alignment tasks.
In fact there is only one limitation; your own
imagination!

Our systems are used in powerplants, shipyards, engineering workshops,

paper industry, steelworks etc in more than 40 countries all over the world.

All programs are standard

Not only shaft alignment

Horizontal - For alignment of horizontal machines with the 9-12-3 method.

Easy-LaserTM is not only a shaft

alignment system. With 15 standard
measurement programs, you can
measure virtually anything.

require optional equipment.

Softfoot - With this program you check that the machine is standing on all
feet.

Cardan - Shows the angular misalignment and the adjustment value for offset
mounted machines. *

Vertical - For measurement of vertical and flange mounted machines.

Offset and Angle - This program displays the offset and the angular
misalignment between e.g. two shafts. Shows values from both 1-axis and 2axis measurement units. Suitable for dynamic measurements.
Values - Shows values from both 1-axis and 2-axis measurement units. Up to
10 units can be connected in serie and can be zeroed individually. Suitable
for dynamic measurements, flatness measurement etc.
Spindle - For measurement of centerline direction of machine spindles on
tooling machines, drilling machines etc.

Straightness - For measurement of straightness on machine foundations,

shafts, bearing journals etc.

Center of circle - This program is used when measuring the straightness of

bearing journals. Allows varying diameters. *

Flatness - Program for measurement of flatness/twist, for example on

machine foundations, machine tables etc. *

PlumbLine - With this program you measure plumbline such as turbine- and
generator shafts. *

Squareness - For measurement of squareness in machinery and plants. *

Parallelism - For measuring between rolls, machine sides etc. *

Flange - For measurement of flatness on flanges and circular planes, for

example axial bearings. *

* These programs/measurements require optional accessories.

Print the result

You can print all the measurement
information, or only a screen dump,
depending on what you want to
document. A printout will compare the
machine position before and after the
alignment, or compare the position of a
cold machine with a hot, without saving
the values.

Measurement value filtering

Sometimes the working environment is less than
ideal. Long measurement distances, air with
varying temps and surrounding vibrations can
cause unstable readings. Choose filter from the
menu, and you will get reliable and stable
measurement values even in the toughest of
conditions.

Transfer data to a PC
Via the serial port (RS 232) you can transfer the
measurement data to a PC. With our PC-program EasyLaserTM Link you get many possibilities for data processing and graphic presentations of the measured result.
Automatically files are generated for MS Excel.

Upgradeability
Equipment for the future
The Easy-LaserTM systems are designed to grow
as the needs increase. If you add the swiveling
laser D22 you can measure straightness,
flatness, parallelism, squareness, horizontal
plane and plumbline.
With a 2-axis detector you get both horizontal
and vertical measurement values at the same
time. This is useful for example when measuring
vertical and horizontal straightness at the same
time.These are examples of how you can use
the upgradeability in our systems.

representative for further information.
