The new intuitive app-powered shaft alignment tool from SKF allows operators to use the TKSA 51 immediately and confidently align machinery with great precision. The TKSA 51 is the first instrument designed for intuitive shaft alignment using tablets and smartphones. The app makes it quick and easy to set up motors, drives, fans, gearboxes, pulleys and couplings.
The new TKSA 51 comprises two compact and lightweight laser measuring units. Using the versatile shaft brackets, the instrument can be mounted on small machines with limited space, whilst extension chains, rods and magnetic holders are supplied for mounting the tool on large machines. Connected wirelessly, the app uses real-time data to provide a live 3D view of the measuring units. This enables operators to rotate the virtual machine at their convenience in all directions. Measurements are made by a simple touch of a button or by the hands-free automatic measurement function which just needs the shaft to be rotated to the next measurement position.
The great measurement freedom is just one of the core features of the system, allowing alignment in confined spaces, as measurements can start at any angle and only require a total shaft rotation of 40°. After each alignment check or correction a comprehensive report is created that can easily be customised, emailed or uploaded to a cloud service for future reference. Notification and helpful guidance menus are displayed if a problem occurs during setup, such as the detector being off centre or the laser beam being too close to the edge of the detector.
