S-680 Techincal Features in Detail

The S-680 laser aligner incorporates a high precision measurement cell with 0.0005mm resolution and a powerful 5-axis measurement capability. This provides fully live readings of all alignment results in a single measurement operation, including a live readout of both vertical foot shimming values and horizontal foot moves.

In addition, the S-680 comes as standard with a powerful suite of software capabilities to suit virually all alignment applications.

The unique dual beam super linear 5-axis laser measuring technology of the S-680 provides direct position and angle measurements with 0.5 micron resolution and automatic rotation sensing, as well as a 30mm x 10mm sensor measurement range to accommodate initial rough alignment.

This system allows shaft alignments to be done quickly and simply with a single sweep of the shafts through any angle (> 60 degrees) to automatically generate all shimming and adjustment values. Start and stop of rotation can be done at any angle and are automatically sensed, with no buttons to press.

Fully wireless Bluetooth operation is standard, eliminating potentially dangerous cables from the working area, making rotations easier and allowing the hand-held display to be moved to any convenient position, which is especially useful during "live" foot adjustment on large equipment. The Bluetooth radio module is fully integrated into the laser receiver and does not require additional batteries.

The laser and target are equipped with the latest technology in rechargeable internal Lithium Polymer batteries, suitable for more than a full day's work without recharging (laser: 30+ hours, wireless target: 12 hours).

The operator is fully guided through a clear and simple 5-point alignment checklist by the system software, which includes a procedure for soft-foot measurement and correction prior to alignment.

The control unit provides a high resolution graphics display with easy to read numbers and a clear pictorial representation of the equipment alignment errors. The alignment errors and required shimming values are displayed in a single screen. A 4-axis live display guides equipment positional adjustments.

Total elimination of the traditional need for "clock" positions to be correctly oriented and for reading values to be inverted according to radial positions removes common sources of operator error.

A laser range of 10m makes the system also suitable for long spacer shaft alignments and special applications.

A detailed alignment report may be customised for each job, including application notes, and any number of reports may be saved in the hand-held computer without the need for special data transfer connections or software.

The standard system includes mounting adaptors for shafts from 25mm to 300mm diameter, with 100mm, 150mm, 200mm and 300mm mounting posts included. Optional extension chains allow the unit to be used on shafts up to 450mm diameter or larger. Non-rotating shaft adaptors are also available. 

Standard software features include:

• Auto Sweep Mode - simply start rotating the coupled shafts by any angle to automatically measure the shaft alignment errors
• Graphics Zoom Function - allows live display graphics to be zoomed in/out to best visualise the alignment errors
• Soft Foot Measurement - allows soft-foot mounting conditions to be identified and corrected
• Recommended Tolerances - allows industry standard alignment tolerances to be selected according to shaft rotational speed. A green light "in-tolerance" indication is displayed as soon as alignment is within the allowable limits.
• Jack Shaft / Spacer Shaft Mode - provides alignment data and graphics to suit a jack-shaft drive.
• Thermal Growth Compensation - allows target offsets to be entered to offset machine thermal growth values
• 1000+ File Storage - provides virtually unlimited file storage on the hand held computer controller.
• Adjustable averaging - allows averaging of alignment readings to be increased for difficult light conditions or high vibration levels.
• Pause Mode - s tart and stop auto sweep to take measurements over multiple sectors
• Bolt Bound Feature - provides for foot shims and moves to be calculated based on a bound foot situation.
• Vertical Shaft Mode - provides a dedicated procedure and graphics for vertical shaft applications
• Uncoupled Pass Mode - provides a fast and simple procedure for the alignment of uncoupled machinery
• User Defined Tolerances - allows the user to set up tolerances at values to suit specific coupling specifications
• Results/History - allows up to 5 sets of alignment data for a machine to be stored and viewed as a table.
• Machine Templates - allows templates of machine setups with dimensions and alignment data to be stored and recalled.

• Train Alignment - provides for optimised alignmnet of multiple in-line coupled equipment.
• Special Mounting Adaptors - an extensive range of accessories to suit specal mounting requirements includes a magnetic mounting base, roller brackets for non-rotating shafts, offset brackets, bolt hole mounting, small shafts and extended length chains for very large shafts.
