Machine train alignment


Fixturlaser Machine TrainXA


A machine train (power train or multiple drive units) is three or more units with rotating shafts connected to each other. Aligning a machine train can be a cumbersome task with a large risk for making time consuming errors. In many cases, one or more of the machines are affected by thermal growth, and to obtain a precision alignment you need to compensate for that. Using the Fixturlaser XA expansion kit for machine trains, you can perform a precision alignment of machine trains.

The Fixturlaser Machine TrainXA application software with the Fixturlaser XA system, will provide you with:

Express start up and measurement - with compensation for thermal offset

  • Possible to insert the whole machine configuration in advance. Can be saved for future measurements.
  • Insert name or machine ID for each machine.
  • Insert target values to compensate for dynamic effects.
  • The Express mode can be used when measuring.

3D Flash® animations guide you, and show you what has been done so far, and what you need to do next.
  • The result screen shows both horizontal and vertical view.
  • The color guiding informs if machines are in or out of tolerance.
  • The “Minimal moves function” automatically chooses the best reference; machine, which is illustrated on the screen. Reference machine can also be selected manually.
