Shaft Alignment of Vertically Mounted Pumps

The Fixturlaser XA is a powerful system for precision laser alignment of shafts in vertically mounted pump assemblies. Features including: colour LCD touch screen, onscreen animations, Bluetooth data transfer, large detector areas, line laser technology and live onscreen measurements - combine to offer the most sophisticated and user-friendly vertical pump alignment system currently available.

Vertical machines and pumps are normally mounted with bolts on a flange instead of feet, which make the calculation of the correction values different from horizontal machines. The bolts may differ in numbers and are situated on a circle around the flange. The Fixturlaser XA and GO Shaft Alignment systems can be used to measure and align vertically mounted and flange mounted machines and pumps. Results are presented with positions for each bolt.

Benefits of Precision Alignment for Vertically-Mounted Pumps:

• Reduced vibration levels
• Increased meantime between failures
• Reduced maintenance costs
• Reduced energy consumption
• Increased production quantity and quality

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 amount of correction required to position the motor or pump correctly.

Graphical Display

Vertical 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.

A precision Fixturlaser Pump Alignment System offers express vertical alignment of pump shafts and couplings to within hundredths of a millimetre.
