KEY FEATURES: • Very easy-to-use – The Spacer shaft alignment app focuses on the particularities of spacer shafts and makes the alignment tasks as easy as possible, supporting accurate spacer shaft alignments.  • Quick Three Point Alignment Measurements - Follow the guidance of the app and perform a full 9-12-3 measurement or perform a limited rotation measurement with as little as 40 degrees of total rotation. • Demonstration mode – The Spacer shaft alignment app offers a fully functional demonstration mode allowing the complete alignment process to be experienced before purchasing the TKSA 71. • Automatic alignment report – Automatically generated alignment reports give a complete overview of the alignment process and results.

Machine information like distances, the machine picture, and other details are saved for each machine and can be reused the next time the same machine is measured. QR codes can be scanned to identify a machine and quickly retrieve its details. The library can also be used for easy access to all the reports generated for each machine in one place. HARDWARE – SKF Shaft Alignment Tool TKSA 71: The SKF TKSA 71 system uses a pair of measurement units that are combined laser transmitter and detectors to measure and correct shaft alignment with high accuracy and reliability.
