Laser shaft alignment improves again

By Paul Dvorak | March 14, 2016

Without cables to trip on or wrap around shafts, the S-67O platform makes for a safer work area, while giving you the freedom to go wherever you need to be – for 14 hours before recharging the battery.

Without cables to trip on or wrap around shafts, the S-67O platform makes for a safer work area, while giving users the freedom to go wherever they need to for 14 hours before recharging the battery.

Hamar Laser Instruments Inc says it started in the machine tool industry where tolerances are high and applications are difficult, and then 20 years ago it developed the world’s first 4-axis shaft alignment system. All of the company’s experience and knowledge has gone into the design of the S-670 platform Wireless 3-axis Shaft alignment system resulting in the most accurate and yet easy-to-use tool in its class. The company says users will find no better or faster system on the market to quickly and accurately align your rotating equipment. Patented Dual-Beam technology reduces errors by 50% this breakthrough technology allows you to simultaneously measure offset and angle with only one PSD sensor, which increases PSD accuracy by 50%. It also uses uni-directional laser beams (2 lasers, 1 direction) that make aligning machines amazingly easy, especially on long-distance applications. Dual-Beam technology also provides an amazing ±5 degrees of angular range plus an angular resolution that is 10 times higher than the highest angular tolerance. The result? More jobs done in less time. (and happier managers!)

Waterproof Bluetooth wireless with the industry’s longest battery life With no cables to trip on or wrap around shafts, the S-67O platform makes for a safer work area, while giving you the freedom to go wherever you need to be – for 14 hours before recharging the battery. The company standard, Class 2 Bluetooth wireless technology offers up to 33 feet of communication range, and for wet work sites, the iP67-rated t-1285 target can be dunked in water up to 3-ft deep and still transmit data! Super linear 30×10 mm PSD detector – 1.0 Micron resolution laser industry’s highest-resolution 1-axis, super-linear PSD sensor, providing 1.0 micron resolution and a measuring area of 30 mm (V) x 10 mm (h). Another industry best.

Duo-Plane live move screen for faster, easier alignments the Duo-Plane live move screen and t-1285 3-axis target allow you to view a live alignment screen for both the vertical and horizontal planes (4 axes) on the same screen. To switch between the vertical and horizontal axes, just rotate the shafts to a clock position and Couple6 automatically switches the h or V live axis without buttons to push or screens to change, and the non-live axis is grayed out so there is no confusion! 2x Faster Alignments – Shim Once, Move Once Why would you trust a million-dollar piece of equipment to an entry-level, inexpensive laser? Critical machinery demands the best the industry has to offer and the S-670 platform is up to the task.
