SKF TKSA 51 Laser Shaft Alignment Tool for sale

The TKSA 51 shaft alignment tool provides high measurement flexibility and performance suitable for entry-level to expert alignment jobs. Designed to work with the shaft alignment apps on a tablet or smart phone, this intuitive tool is easy to use and requires no special training. The included accessories enable use of the TKSA 51 for a wide range of alignment applications, such as motors, drives, fans, pumps, gearboxes and more. The tool's mobile apps include tutorial videos to show operators how to perform accurate measurements.

Measurement flexibility - The well-known, three-position measurement gains additional flexibility as measurements can start at any angle and require a total minimal rotation of only 40 degrees. This enables operators to perform alignments of applications with limited space.

Automatic reports - Alignment reports are generated automatically and can be customised with notes, a machine picture and a signature via touchscreen. These reports can be exported as PDF files and shared with other mobile apps.

Comprehensive and compact - A range of included components, such as magnetic mounting brackets and extension rods and chains, increase the TKSA 51's versatility, yet it remains compact, lightweight and easy to carry.

3-D live view - This feature enables intuitive positioning of heads for quick alignment measurements and displays live when horizontal/vertical alignment correction is achieved. The app enables 3-D rotation of the virtual motor to correspond with the actual machine position.

Disturbance compensation - Measurement values are averaged over time to provide accuracy in presence of vibration or other external disturbances.

The TKSA 51 is supplied in a sturdy SKF carrying case

Extensive range of accessories is available.

Apps

The TKSA 51 uses dedicated apps for alignments of horizontal and vertical shaft and the correction of soft foot. The apps are icon-driven and very easy to use. All apps are free of charge and feature a fully functional demonstration mode that allows the alignment process to be experienced before purchasing the instrument.
