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 great risks for making time consuming errors.
In many cases, one or more of the machines are affected by dynamic effects. In order to obtain a precision alignment, you need to compensate for those. Fixturlaser XA, the wireless shaft alignment system, can now be upgraded with a function for measurement and precision alignment of Machine Trains.
The Fixturlaser Machine TrainXA expansion kit, contains a unique software. The software is based upon the characteristic user interface from the Fixturlaser XA shaft alignment programs. The program includes 3D MacromediaTM Flash animations to guide the user throughout the measurement, step-by-step. By inserting the whole machine configuration in advance, including target values to compensate for dynamic effects, you can make a quick start of the measurement with Fixturlaser Machine TrainXA. The machine configuration can be saved for future measurements of the machine. You can also use the Express mode, automatically registering of measurement points, for even faster and more efficient alignment.
“Using the Fixturlaser Machine TrainXA, you are in control of the whole measurement procedure”, explains Hans Svensson, Managing Director. He continues: “3D Macromedia flash animations show you exactly what has been done so far and what you need to do next. The large color display of the system helps to get a good overview of the whole machine configuration”. The screen shows the complete result, both the horizontal and vertical view, at the same time. The unique “Minimal moves” function automatically chooses the best reference machine, which is illustrated on the screen. The reference machine can also be selected manually. After performing the alignment, the result screen (jpg-file) can be transferred to external units via an USB-stick. The file can be printed out or saved.
