SKF Machine train alignment vs SPM LineLazer

The Machine train shaft alignment app is designed to be used with the SKF Shaft Alignment Tool TKSA 71. Together, the TKSA 71 and the app form an alignment system that allows the alignment of machine trains with multiple connected machines in an intuitive and easy way. The system uses line laser to PSD technology that enables highly accurate and reliable shaft alignments. The TKSA 71 and this app communicate wirelessly via Bluetooth®. Without the hardware the app can nonetheless be used, as it features a fully functional demonstration allowing the complete alignment process of a machine train to be experienced before purchasing the TKSA 71. KEY FEATURES: • Very easy-to-use – The Machine train shaft alignment app focuses on making the alignment tasks of several couplings as easy as possible and enabling accurate machine train 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. • Selectable stationary feet – The alignment process records the complete alignment situation and allows the operator to select two pairs of stationary feet. The app then calculates the required machine movement for all feet while keeping the stationary feet pairs at the same location. The operator can easily find the best alignment strategy by selecting different pairs of stationary feet and checking the required movement for the alignment correction. • The machine train app is designed for machine trains of three machines, covering common machine trains like motor – gearbox – application combinations. • Demonstration mode – The Machine train 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. The reports can be customized with additional notes, a machine picture and a signature. The report can easily be shared via email or cloud services. • Easy to follow explanatory videos – Short explanatory videos are available in the help section of the app and show in easy steps how to set up and perform accurate alignment measurements. • 3D Animations – 3D animations intuitively guide the user through the alignment process, allowing accurate shaft alignment to be performed in a very easy way. • Machine library and QR code scanner – Helps keeping track of the machines that have been measured. 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 with laser transmitter and detectors to measure and correct shaft alignment with high accuracy and reliability. The data is transferred in real time through Bluetooth® 4.0 LE to the app.
 IMPORTANT NOTE: This app is designed to be used with the SKF Shaft Alignment Tool TKSA 71 hardware. The SKF TKSA 71 can be purchased separately from your local SKF Authorized Distributor.

The app, designed for use with the LineLazer precision shaft alignment sensors from SPM Instrument (LLS10 and LLM10), ensures a smoother-than-ever alignment process! The app guides you through the entire alignment process in an intuitive manner, using a visually appealing and intelligible 3D graphical interface. You can rotate the 3D virtual machine for a live view from any direction, and the continuous sweep function saves considerable time and effort. The app can visually amplify misalignment conditions, making it easy to see any vertical or horizontal angularity and offset. Once the system has determined the degree of misalignment, the app provides clear and straightforward on-screen guidance to the feet corrections necessary to achieve a perfectly aligned machine. Upon completion of the procedure, you can save details and results in a report that can be shared in a variety of ways. The LineLazer sensors and app are a cost-efficient laser alignment system that does not require a portable data logger. The sensors provide precise and reliable readings, and the app can be used on any laptop, tablet, or smartphone (recommended minimum screen size is 5”) with Bluetooth; just download the app and connect to the sensors. The app features a Demo mode, allowing users to simulate alignment scenarios and try out app functionality also without the sensors. Key features of the LineLazer app include: • Precision alignment with reliable results • Intuitive interface with enhanced, live view 3D graphics • Responsive design • Continuous sweep • Visual amplification of misalignment • Soft foot check • Feet lock • Thermal growth compensation • Tolerance checks • Demonstration mode • Free app download - no license required.
