AppsThe TKSA 71 functions quickly and intuitively using six software apps tailored for different alignment jobs. Common features include:
|
Shaft alignmentEasy and intuitive alignments of horizontal shafts with additional features including automatic measurement, minimal 40° total rotation, 9-12-3 guidance and alignment customisation with target values. |
Vertical shaft alignmentEasy and intuitive alignment of vertical shaft machines with shimming support for different bolt configurations. |
Spacer shaft alignmentAccommodates special requirements of spacer shafts and facilitates the alignment process. |
Machine train shaft alignmentEnables operator to align three connected machines, giving a complete overview of machine train alignment and allowing the operator to select stationary feet. |
Soft footAssists technician in verifying that machine is standing evenly on all four feet. The app supports the operator identifying and correcting a soft foot. |
ValuesAllows the shaft alignment tool to be used as digital dial gauges; operators can record absolute, zeroed and halved readings to perform customised alignments with manual calculations. |
