It has an open software configuration that allows upgrades to be added at any time to meet specific additional alignment, vibration and balancing needs.

Experience unmatched precision and efficiency with the Hamar X-770 Laser Aligner.

The unique dual laser beam super linear 3-axis measuring technology of the X-770 provides direct position and angle measurements with micron resolution and automatic rotation sensing, as well as a 30mm x 10mm sensor measurement range to directly accommodate initial rough shaft and coupling alignment.

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

Live alignment graphics of the shaft rotation show the operator exactly where he is in the alignment process and what data has been recorded.

Fully wireless Bluetooth operation is standard, eliminating potentially dangerous cables from the working area, making shaft rotations easier and allowing the touchscreen display to be moved to any convenient position, which is especially useful during “live” foot adjustment on large equipment. The Bluetooth radio module is built 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 125 hours, target 15 hours continuous use).

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

The laser control unit provides a high resolution graphics display with live, easy to read values of the required shims and a dynamic image of the shaft alignment errors, all displayed in a single screen. The live display clearly guides equipment adjustments, both horizontally and vertically.

Total elimination of the traditional need for “Clock” shaft positions to be correctly oriented and for laser reading values to be inverted according to shaft radial positions removes common sources of operator error.

A laser range of 10m makes the system also highly suitable for long shaft alignments and jack shaft couplings.

A detailed laser alignment report is automatically generated with one click, including your contact details and logo, and the full customer and machine details and any application notes. Any number of reports may be saved in the tablet control computer, and may be printed or uploaded over WIFI, without the need for special data transfer connections or synching software. The control is email ready for direct submission of reports from the project site.

The standard laser system includes mounting adaptors for shafts from 25mm to 150mm diameter, with short 100mm and long 200mm mounting posts for different coupling sizes. Optional extension chains allow the laser to be used on shafts up to 450mm diameter or larger. Magnetic mounting brackets and adaptors for non-rotating shaft alignments are also available.

All Stealth laser systems are linearised through their full measurement range and are factory calibrated with a recommended 2 year recalibration date.

Extended Features of the X-770

Selection of the most suitable shaft aligner is mostly determined by a match between the detailed features of the system with the range of applications required by the customer. In considering the X-770 system compared to the X-660 system, the following features should be considered:

Measuring Accuracy

The X-770 has high precision direct angle measurement optics that provide excellent alignment precision and highly stable live alignment readings to guide machine moves even at large distances.

Measuring Range

A large measuring range, both in the measurable offset and the angular error, allows laser measurements to begin without any pre-alignment of the shafts. This can be a big time saver because the laser live-move screen clearly guides the initial machine adjustments. For special applications where large offset values are applied, the increased measuring range may be essential.

Measuring Distance

The optical system of the X-770 uses two 0.25 degree x 2mm low divergence laser fans that allow the laser to be used over shooting distances of up to 4,500mm.

Extended Features Set

The X-770 has an extensive list of powerful additional functions included, ready to meet the wide range of alignment requirements that may be required in a plant environment, and allowing an alignment contractor to take on sophisticated alignment challenges.

Geometrical Alignment Functions

The X-770 is fully equipped to do geometrical alignments, including magnetic surface mounting rotating bases for mounting the laser and target, and with included software for measuring and recording both straightness and flatness.
