Horizontal Machines

The NXA Ultimate is perfect for measuring horizontal alignment conditions but its real power is in helping correct misalignment. The dual sensors allow the NXA to maintain the true position of the shafts, even as unintended movements are experienced during the alignment process. The benefit of this “true positon sensing” is that it allows the user to complete the alignment using the Verti-Zontal™ compound move, adjusting in both the vertical and horizontal planes without remeasuring between moves. A Verti-Zontal™ alignment is a great time saver since alignments can be completed in just one or two tries. The NXA Ultimate also comes with a number of utility programs to make the alignment process easier. These include Softcheck™ to control for soft foot conditions, FeetLock™ to deal with base and bolt bound situations, HotCheck™ to calculate the difference between measurements taken in a cold state versus a hot condition, and Target Values, which automatically adjusts the readings to compensate for pre-determined alignment targets based on thermal growth or dynamic movement data.

PAT

The final solution to all your belt alignment needs!

With the PAT, you are never in doubt about whether your belt transmissions are aligned or not. By using the groove as reference, you will achieve a precise alignment which reduces belt wear, bearing failures and vibrations.

Mounting of the transmitters

The PAT units are very easily mounted on the pulleys. The spring action probe finds the center of the belt groove. The industrial built-in magnets snap the units to the pulley in a perfect fit. The PAT is equipped with various-sized removable guides to fit standard sheave sizes A-E (6 mm – 40 mm). Additional guides for the alignment of timing belts are available as accessories.

What’s in the case ?

PAT – Complete system

2 boxes of V-guide tips
1 pair of laser transmitters
4 batteries, LR 03 1.5V (AAA)

Two transmitters with visible red laser line

The PAT comes with two-line laser transmitters, each equipped with two spring-loaded guides that fit into the pulley grooves. The use of two laser transmitters with integrated targets makes it very easy to find out what kind of alignment is required. Parallel offset, angular error, and twist are instantly visible to the operator. Within a few minutes, the operator can determine if the machine requires alignment or not.

The alignment process with the PATThe visible red laser line makes it easy to determine the position of your belt-driven machines.
The alignment process is as easy as the mounting. Just turn on the lasers and look at the opposite mounted unit. The laser draws a line on the target label as in the illustration to the right. If necessary, adjust your machine position until the laser lines are aligned with the center mark on both units.

Rectangular flatness measurements

Stay square with the NXA geometry

Typical applications are measurements of e.g. machine beds and machine foundations. For the latter application, it is particularly beneficial to combine flatness measurement with shaft alignment when installing rotating machinery. First, you check the foundation’s surface for possible irregularities, a so-called pre-alignment check. If any, adjust these. Install the machine and check for possible misalignment with a laser-based shaft alignment tool like the NXA Ultimate system.
