• Increased lifespan for seals, bearings and couplings 
• Increased production quality 
• Increased production time between maintenance stops 
• Reduced vibration levels 
• Reduced energy costs 
• Reduced risk of unforeseen production stops
• Reduced maintenance costs

Typical symptoms of misaligned machines:

• Premature bearing, seal and coupling breakdown
• High axial and radial vibration levels
• High temperatures in bearing housings and couplings, and/or in their proximity, as well as high oil temperatures
• Leakage from bearing seals and/or glands
• Loose or damaged adjustment screws or coupling bolts
• Cracks in the machine bed
• Similar equipment has lower vibration levels and longer average production time between machine breakdowns

Take charge of your machines and their condition

How many machine breakdowns can you afford? The more control you have over your machines and their condition, the fewer breakdowns you will have. Preventive maintenance corresponds to a tire change at the pit stop. If you rely on repairing your machines once they have already broken down, it is like trying to change tires out on the track during the race.

The right tools in everybody’s hands

Preventive maintenance assumes that you have the right tools in your hands, such as a laser-based alignment system. With regular measurement of alignment, vibration and temperature, you can predict potential problems long before they have any effect on your production.

With correctly aligned machines, you leave competitors in your dust

At least 50% of machine failures are due to poor alignment, a fact that costs industrial manufacturers large sums every year. An investment in a laser-based alignment system will therefore repay itself rapidly. Correctly aligned machines reduce the number of breakdowns, resulting in an increased degree of availability and higher production quality. The lifespan of seals, bearings and couplings increases, which in turn leads to reduced maintenance costs. The company’s energy consumption is also reduced.

The greatest saving from correctly aligned machines, however, is from the reduced risk of unscheduled production stops. No more tire changes on the track!

The alignment system of the future

– Fixturlaser XA

The traditional methods used today, such as dial indicators, steel rules, etc. can never achieve the accuracy available with a laser-based alignment system. In addition, the time taken for mounting, reading and processing the results of dial indicators is time consuming, and the method often requires the skill of experts.

The Fixturlaser XA system is probably the most user-friendly system on the market. The units are mounted quickly and the animated display gives a step-by-step guide of what to do and by how much the machine needs to be adjusted.

Our laser-based alignment instrument allows you to save your results in the display unit and then transfer them via the USB ports to a PC, or other storage media, for documentation.

These technical features make the Fixturlaser XA your tool for the future!

The Fixturlaser XA is filled with new technical features, e.g. CCD-technology* for better measurement results, animated displays that show you exactly what to do, and wireless connections as an option. These features combined make the system unique in the market. Other features, such as pre-mounted units and snap-on fixtures for quick adjustment, also contribute to making the Fixturlaser XA very user friendly and fast!

3D color animation for fast results

The whole working process is shown on the screen using simple and distinct color animation. Figures and arrows show the measurement results and any requirement for realignment. Color coded symbols simplify interpretation of the results.

Automatic registration of measurement points – Express Mode

For faster measuring, the system automatically registers the three measurement points when you rotate the shaft. We call this Express Mode.

Express alignment check

In order to rapidly determine if there is any alignment problem at all, the system is equipped with an express alignment check function. Only one measurement distance needs to be entered into the system.

Wireless data transfer

In order to avoid the need for cables between the measurement units and the display, the equipment can be complemented with wireless data transfer.

Touchscreen with icons means no confusing terminology

The measurement results are shown on a 6.4 inch back-lit LCD touchscreen. Our new software, which is completely based on distinctive symbols and graphics, makes it easier to learn how to use the system. Since the software does not include any text or difficult terminology, the risk of misunderstandings or misuse is minimized.

Small, thin measurement units with large measurement areas

The measurement units are equipped with 30 mm CCD-detectors with low sensitivity to strong ambient light. Despite this, the units are small and thin, which simplifies mounting in small spaces.

Quick and simple mounting

The fixtures are pre-mounted in the case.

Any height adjustments are done quickly by using the snap-on fixtures.

Robust and practical design

The display unit is designed and manufactured to fulfill the high demands that industrial use requires of the equipment. It is made of aluminum and rubber and powered by rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries. The display unit is also classified for protection class IP 65. By using the built-in support, the display unit can be placed or mounted in different positions, depending on the most practical solution at the time.

Connectability for rapid data transfer and documentation

The display unit is fitted with two USB ports, one master and one slave, for quick and simple transfer to a PC and documentation of your measurement results.
