What's new?

Settings Screen

Screen for entering dimensions, selecting tolerances, and creating new user tolerances, specifying RPM and coupling diameter.

Soft Foot Check

Allows checking each support and displays the result on the screen. Before any alignment, it is necessary to eliminate the soft foot.

Preview Results

Displays current measurement results. Allows the user to see the measurement results without switching to the results screen.

Results Screen

Displays measurement results and allows generating a report.

Live Alignment

When selecting units with plates, live alignment is conducted only in the horizontal plane. For adjustable supports, live alignment is conducted in two planes.

Soft Foot Check

Allows checking each support and displays the result on the screen. Before any alignment, it is necessary to eliminate the soft foot.

Features

Take measurements at any three positions of the shaft rotation. Turn shafts in any direction at least by 40 degrees and register the results.

The 9-12-3 o'clock method is the basic method for taking measurements. It requires a clear set of units at the 9, 12 and 3 o'clock positions.

Adjust machine feet beforehand for better results. Soft foot check option is designed specifically for this job. The program analyzes the position.

This option allows you to specify the coupling type used for shaft connection – i.e., short flex or spacer shaft.

Horizontal Alignment

A unique memory management system allows you to save progress at any stage of the process and resume whenever you want.

SmartFilter™

Reduces the influence of external visual challenges such as lighting, steam, draft and other visually impairing variables while taking measurement.

Save Job

Allows to save the status of an alignment job at any time and return to the job later.

User Defined Tolerance

Specify the alignment tolerance and user definable tolerances in advance according to the machine rotation speed.

User Friendly Reports

Save alignment reports in PDF, add photos of the unit, the company logo and work notes when necessary.

Repeatability Table

Allows choose any from the last 10 measurements that you have taken based on which further actions will be carried out.

Sensor Readings

Monitor the data coming directly from the measuring units on the screen of your device.

SWITCHIT™

Simplify the measurements by selecting the location of the machine relative to an operator.

With the VIBRO-LASER BASE Model, you can easily align pumps, motors, gearboxes, and other equipment. The user-friendly interface requires no training, enabling a quick start.

With its simple and intuitive interface featuring 3D animation, the system significantly simplifies the operator's tasks and suitable for both experienced engineers and novice users.
