Free Apps for Shaft Alignment Calculations
Fixturlaser, a manufacturer of laser-based shaft alignment systems, has
developed three free mobile device apps for shaft alignment personnel: Align
Terms, Laser Dials and Therm Align.
Align Terms is a reference app for
machine shaft alignment that enables
lookup of shaft alignment terms and
access to instructional videos. Laser
Dials is an app to convert shaft align-ment measurements between rim and
face dial indicator readings and laser sys-tem angles and offsets. The Therm Align
app helps those performing shaft align-ments calculate the value of compensa-tions for thermal growth (also known as
dynamic movement) of rotating equip-ment. Therm Align will calculate the
thermal offsets needed to compensate
for this thermal movement. Movement of
both the stationary and movable compo-nents is taken into account to determine
the proper compensating “target values”
needed on the movable piece of equip-ment. All three apps are available for free
download at the Apple App Store and
Google Play Store.
