The Fixturlaser Laser Shaft Alignment System for Precision Horizontally Mounted Pump Alignment:

A horizontally mounted pump assembly is the most frequent plant configuration requiring shaft alignment. Most often, a pump is classed as a critical component in the production process and every single installation requires precision alignment for optimal performance.

Fixturlaser is a leading brand of laser-based, horizontal alignment systems that are designed for the precision alignment requirements of critical pumps.

The Fixturlaser XA system is equipped with a 6.4 inch back-lit LCD colour touchscreen. The user interface is completely based on easily comprehensible symbols and graphics. No difficult terminology is used and the icons shown in the display are self-guiding, which minimises the risk of misunderstanding or misuse of the system.

Application programs for horizontal alignment, built-in target values and Soft Check™ are all standard in the Fixturlaser XA.

Easy to Use

Pump shafts and couplings can be quickly and easily aligned by using a Laser Shaft Alignment system, such as the Fixturlaser XA system.

The process is straightforward: two laser units are attached to the shafts that require alignment, one either side of the coupling. Measurements are then recorded from 3 points, either by rotating the shaft through 30-40 degree segments, or by use of a special moveable fixture in cases where the shafts themselves will not rotate. The pump shaft alignment system automatically measures the alignment of the two shafts, and displays to the user if the shaft is or isn’t aligned and indicating the precise amount of angular or offset misalignment.

Correcting misalignment is also a straightforward process. The Fixturlaser XA System has a 3D animated interface which shows users the exact amount of correction required to re-position the gearbox or motor so that perfect alignment through the centreline of the two shafts is achieved.

This process is demonstrated on our short video page which can be viewed here

The Fixturlaser XA system has a ‘live’ screen so that any changes made to the position of the motor or pump are instantly displayed on the screen. The XA System indicates the thickness of shims that are required to be added or removed from under the front or rear feet of the unit. Arrows also indicate the amount of horizontal correction required to position the motor or pump correctly.

Graphical Display

Horizontal shaft alignment with the Fixturlaser XA system. The result screen shows the current position of the motor and clearly advises the necessary adjustments. The results from the entire measurement are shown directly on the display. The color codes indicate if there is a need for alignment. Green indicates within tolerance, orange near tolerance and red out of tolerance.
