Comprehensive And Intuitive Shaft Alignment Utilizing Tablets And Smart Phones

Overview

Our TKSA-51 Shaft Alignment Tool provides high measurement flexibility and performance suitable for entry-level to expert alignment jobs. Designed to work with the VibePro shaft alignment apps on a tablet or smart phone, this intuitive tool is easy to use and requires no special training.

The included accessories enable use of the GTI-51 for a wide range of alignment applications with horizontal and vertical shafts, such as motors, drives, fans, pumps, gearboxes and more. The apps include tutorial videos to show operators how to perform accurate measurements.

Shaft Laser Alignment Features:

Measurement flexibility – The well-known, three-position measurement gains additional flexibility as measurements can start at any angle and require a total minimal rotation of only 40 degrees. This enables operators to perform alignments of applications with limited space.
Automatic reports – Alignment reports are generated automatically and can be customized with notes, a machine picture and a signature via touchscreen. The reports can be easily exported as PDF files and shared with other mobile apps.
Comprehensive and compact – A range of included components, such as magnetic mounting brackets and extension rods and chains, increase the TKSA-51’s versatility, yet it remains compact, lightweight and easy to carry.
3-D live view – This feature enables intuitive positioning of the heads for quick alignment measurements and displays the horizontal and vertical alignment correction live. The apps enable 3-D rotation of the virtual motor to correspond with the actual machine position view.
Disturbance compensation – Measurement values are averaged over time to provide greater accuracy in presence of external disturbances.
Also available as TKSA-51D with rugged, industrial display device and pre-installed apps included.

Alignment Applications

The TKSA-51 uses dedicated apps for alignments of horizontal and vertical shaft and the correction of soft foot. The apps are icon-driven and very easy to use. All apps are free of charge and features a fully functional
