Built-in pre-defined alignment process
The TKSA 80 integrates a pre-defined alignment process into a portable instrument. It provides users with step-by-step instructions on how to perform alignment in the most effective and efficient sequence.
Preparation:
- The right tools and materials at the right place at the right time - The system reminds users of the correct tools and materials to use, before carrying out the alignment job.
- Database and fast template – The instrument offers an extensive database where a wide range of machinery and alignment relevant information can be stored. Based on information in this database, specific templates can be created for each machine, for re-use during future alignment activities.
Inspection:
- Soft foot check – The system gives users the choice to find, correct and record soft foot conditions by either laser or by feeler gauges.
- Visual inspection – Inspection fields are provided for oil level, leakages, foundation bolt status and wear indications, etc.
- Horizontal and vertical shaft alignment – Measurements are performed at any of three positions, with a shaft rotation of as little as 40 degrees.
- Machines train – Align three machines in a line (accommodates multiple machine train alignment).
- Run-out check – The system reminds users to perform a simple measurement that discovers bent shafts.
Evaluation
- The system assists users to compare inspection results with the information saved in the fast template so as to identify and prioritize corrective actions.
Correction
- Real-time correction – The system displays the live actual value and direction for accurate
misalignment correction.
Reporting
- Results in graphical format – The results are shown in graphical format and the file can be
easily copied and pasted into documents on a PC.
- The results show the machine conditions “as-found” and “as-corrected”. Desired tolerances are also displayed.
- Energy efficiency – The system reports estimated extra energy consumption due to misalignment.
Analyzing
- Alignment reports are recorded in the system, which helps users periodically compare the alignment history and monitor the machine’s health trend.
Additional Features
- Intuitive: Animated graphical interface on a 4 inch back-lit screen and alphanumeric key functions simplify the whole process
- Alignment actions displayed: Clear “real– time” coupling and feet values, given during the alignment process, makes alignment corrections quick and easy
- Built-in alignment recommendation: Pre and user definable tolerance tables greatly simplify assessment of the alignment
- Alignment data sharing: Alignment settings and results can be stored to the internal memory and downloaded via USB cable to a PC. Files are easily shared with others without the need of special software.
- Soft foot check: “Soft foot” function helps check if the machine is standing evenly on all feet; an essential check for good shaft alignment
- Easy pre–alignment: For machines that are grossly misaligned, the laser lines and scales enable rapid pre–alignment
- Fast measuring unit positioning: Measuring units are positioned fast and easy, by using the built-in spirit levels
- Global use: Language free menus and user selectable measurement units (mm or inch) facilitate use globally
- Easy for all users: A quick start guide and intuitive menus allows virtually any technician to quickly be familiar with the process. Full multi-lingual instructions are supplied on a CD
Laser Sensor Measuring Heads
Each measuring head emits a laser line, which is projected onto the detector of the other unit.
- The measuring units are fitted with mechanical brackets for attachment to the shafts, but can also be attached using chains.
- Both measuring units emit a laser line, which is projected on the position sensor detector and a line scale on the outer unit.
- The measuring units are also equipped with spirit level, which allows easy positioning in the 9, 12, and 3 o'clock positions.
