SKF Values

Features
Read full description

The Values app is designed to be used with the SKF Shaft Alignment Tool TKSA 71. Together, the TKSA 71 and the app form a measurement system that allows readings of many rotating machines to be made in an intuitive and easy way. The app reads and visualises the readings from the measurement heads, similar to the readings given by mechanical dial gauges. The system uses line laser to PSD technology that enables highly accurate and reliable shaft measurements. The TKSA 71 and its app communicate wirelessly via Bluetooth®. KEY FEATURES: • Virtual dial indicator visualises live measurement readings and enables easy and intuitive measurements. • Highest degree for customisation – The values app is the modern representation of highly accurate dial gauges with additional convenience features. Experts get the possibility to use the alignment system for highly customised alignments with more advanced calculations, supporting various types of applications. • Ideal for training – Learning the underlying principle of shaft alignments is often accompanied by using traditional dial gauges and manual calculations. The values app facilitates the measurements and helps students to focus on the alignment calculations. • Automatic measurement report – Automatically generated measurement reports give a structured overview of the measured values. 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 – Comprehensive videos show how to set up and perform accurate measurements with SKF Shaft Alignment Tools. • 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 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.

About

SPM LineLazer

Features
Read full description

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.
