The latest in shaft-alignment systems is simple to use

Prüftechnik Alignment Systems

Shaftalign (photo) is a new, laser-shaft-alignment system that combines simplicity of operation with precise measurement. The device features a backlit color display and the computer’s built-in display light sensor optimizes image quality and the device power management. The “Active Clock” measurement mode automatically collects the laser coordinates for the corresponding shaft position. Only three or four readings over a rotation angle of less than 70 deg are required to achieve a precise alignment. — Prüftechnik Alignment Systems GmbH, Ismaning, Germany
