E710 Laser Shaft Alignment Tool


THE MEASURING SYSTEM FOR ALL STAGES OF MACHINE SET-UP


Easy-Laser® E710 is an alignment system that is complete in its full meaning. It does not just give you all the functions for shaft alignment, it also gives the opportunity to check the machine base and any bearing play using the standard equipment! Programs for soft foot checks, vertical/flange mounted machines and cardan/offset mounted* machines are also included. Using the accessories you can also align sheaves and pulleys with digital precision and check vibration levels. No other system on the market can offer this flexibility! Large, clear colour screen, wireless measuring units (included as standard), long operating life and robust design give a measurement system that is both reliable and easy to use.

EASY TO USE = FAST AND EFFICIENT

When we talk about simplicity we mean several things, for example, simple to place or mount the measurement equipment on the measurement object, easy to perform the measurement and easy to interpret the measurement result. With Easy-Laser® E710 you can measure all types of rotating machine, large and small, equally well, regardless of shaft diameter. One new feature is the barcode reader*, which enters the machine dimensions with literally one swipe! This makes it easier for new operators who don’t need to search through long lists of machine templates with descriptions that are difficult to understand. Quite simply, easier to do correctly!
Wireless measuring units (laser/detector) enable you to work more freely. The measurement values can be registered with only 40° rotation of the shafts. You can then align it ”live” using the measuring units in any position around the shaft. The read off unit program is available in several different languages which facilitates use; Chinese, English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese and Swedish. The programs guide you step-by-step through the measuring procedure for the perfect measuring result.

VbOnline Integrates with Bently Nevada System S... | System, Were, Vbonline, Vibration, Sensors

vbOnline™ Integrated with Bently Nevada Condition Monitoring System in ambitious project

Commtest's permanent condition monitoring vbOnline® system has been successfully integrated with a Bently NevadaTM 3500 system in a recent collaborative project.vbOnline

Enersur-Suez Energy Peru is a 130MW hydroelectric plant. As the largest energy provider in Peru, Enersur also provides a substantial amount of energy to neighboring Brazil. The company wanted to add vibration analysis of their hydro generators to their protection system. Installing a permanent online system would ensure scheduled readings were regularly monitored and analyzed.

The machinery being monitored is among some of the most remote in the world, located high up in the Andes mountain range near the edge of the jungle district. After flying into Lima, Commtest's Customer Success Engineer Shane Smith and local channel partner Marco Ortiz drove 300km up the steep and often winding road. "Altitude sickness was a problem," says Smith "but the mountains were incredible". The facility's inherent lack of accessibility was a key driver in the decision to install a system that could remotely monitor Ensersur's machinery and transmit the data off-site.

Two 32 channel vbOnline systems were set up to take 39 readings from buffered outputs of a Bently Nevada 3500 rack. These signals correspond to 18 radial proximity probes, 6 axial probes, 3 keyphasor® and 12 airgap sensors. All sensors were pre-installed in three hydro generators of 44.5MW each.

Reliable seismic readings were critical. Eighteen low frequency sensors with dual output (measuring vibration and temperature) were installed, in a radial direction and aligned with the probes. The first vbOnline system was installed to take measurements from the seismic sensors, making sure that not only the vibration from the shaft is taken, but also vibration measurements from the journal bearing structure were collected.

The second vbOnline system was installed to take measurements from 12 critical oil pumps and 2 air compressors, connecting to 32 general purpose accelerometers distributed over the oil pumps and compressors. These readings are taken twice a day. Both vbOnline systems combine with Commtest's award winning Ascent® software, providing remote diagnostics and analysis where it is most needed.

Truly Wireless Vibration Monitoring

Ranger Logo

Ranger Product
Truly wireless: Ranger launches today.

Our ability to remotely analyse machinery health has been greatly extended with the launch of our superior wireless technology.
Ranger is the first of our machinery health information systems that can be built as an entirely wireless installation.
With Ranger you can continuously monitor machinery in the most inaccessible environments and remotely monitor the health of essential machinery around the clock, automatically alerting you to potential problems and avoiding costly downtime. Our wireless technology makes it possible to monitor essential machinery where wiring is prohibitive.
Combine the benefits of a permanent installation with the flexibility of a portable monitoring device. Like traditional permanently mounted installations, Ranger allows you to collect data more cost effectively, more timely, and with improved accuracy compared with walk around portable routines. Eliminating wires provides flexibility and allows you to create temporary setups to focus on specific machinery with relative ease.

Permanent yet flexible

RangerNetwork
Ranger modules integrate with existing or traditional wired systems, allowing you to build the most cost effective system of wireless and wired modules specific to your facility's environment.
There’s no single way to make up a Ranger system – the size and complexity of each installation will be as unique as the companies who use them.
Features of the Ranger system include:
  • Self-healing network allows system to continue monitoring even when part of the network loses power or connection – the nearest module will connect it in to the network.
  • Dual-axis readings.
  • Wake on Hi-Vibe feature gives full control, taking pre-scheduled readings and can be set to take additional recording when pre-configured vibration levels are exceeded. This conserves battery life of wireless sensors.
  • Reduced analyst time as data is only provided when there is a problem to assess.
  • Ability to create temporary set-ups to monitor troublesome, recently repaired or new machines and collect baseline recordings for acceptance criteria.
  • High data integrity expected of a permanently connected monitoring system.
If you are interested in becoming a Ranger early adopter please get in touch with us for more information.
