Tool eliminates guesswork used in traditional alignment methods

The Fluke 830 Laser Shaft Alignment tool has been designed to simplify shaft alignment with an intuitive guided user interface and step-by-step machine set up process. All the user has to do is set-up, measure and diagnose. The 4-level severity scale compares the machine to industry accepted machine tolerances and provides specific, actionable repair recommendations.

Unlike using the straight-edge method or dial indicators, the Fluke 830 performs the complicated alignment calculations, providing the answers needed to quickly align a machine and get the plant up and running again fast. An enhanced user interface provides easy to understand results that do not require extensive alignment knowledge and the unique “All-in-One” result screen shows both coupling results and feet corrections (vertical and horizontal) in real terms making it easy to take corrective action.

The Fluke 830 Laser Shaft Alignment tool features:
•    Single Laser Measurement Technology which reduces errors from backlash, resulting in better data accuracy
•    Compass Measurement Mode which enables flexible, reliable and repeatable measurements using an activated electronic inclinometer
•    Dynamic Machine Tolerance Check which provides continuous evaluation of alignment adjustments so the user knows when the machine is in the acceptable range, and,
•    Unique Extend Mode which offers unlimited measurement ranges to handle gross misalignment scenarios.
