New D480 special offer - 3 in one alignment kit 

The new D480 is a mid-range Shaft Alignment System

The system is without doubt the most cost effective system in the market place. No system offers as much as the D480 at such a low price.

All in all the D480 Easy Laser system provides you with the opportunity of measuring and aligning many applications such as Shaft alignment, Sheave and pulley alignment, Vibration Measurement, Twisted Base Measurement and Straightness Measurement.

It has all the programs and functions needed for measurement of different rotating machinery. All the parts of the system are designed and built for the most demanding workplace and are easy to setup on any machinery. The versatile design solves all kinds of measurements quickly and with precision. You can easily measure small and large machines regardless of the shaft diameter, with a resolution of 0.05 mils [0.001 mm] and with a measuring distance up to 33 feet [10 m].

Designed for all Industries

The rugged aluminum and stainless steel design guarantees stable measurement values and reliable alignment even in the harshest of environments. Double rods support the measuring units mounted on stable chain shaft fixtures. The display guides you through the measurement process and has a large storage memory with a RS232 port for printing or transfer to a PC. The Windows program EasyLink is included for measurement data transferring and data storing. These are just some of the features of this high performance system.

Features:

• A - Display unit made of anodized aluminum.
• B - Clear, backlit LCD display. Easy to read even in poor light conditions.
• C - Small, lightweight measuring units made of aluminum.
• D - Clear spirit levels in both units for quick and accurate positioning.
• E - Double rods for each unit, made of stainless steel.
• F - Cables with Push/Pull connection.
• G - Universal shaft brackets with chains.
• H - Battery operated display unit. Long operating time.
• I - RS 232 port for printer and PC connection
• J - Durable membrane keyboard with all characters

User Friendly

The key to fast, simple measurement is a powerful measurement program that helps you perform at your best. That is why Easy Laser systems have a large number of specially adapted programs that guide you step by step through the measurement procedure.

Look below at all the programs the D480 has to offer.

All of these programs in the D480 will allow you to perform precision alignment work. Here we describe two of the system's functions that will help you with difficult alignment issues, such as when shaft rotation is restricted or when the machine is bolt bound.

Easy Turn

The D480 system has built-in electronic inclinometers in the detector heads. This means that you can get an angle reading when in the Values program.

The inclinometers also allow the Easy Turn program to function. With Easy Turn it is possible to start the measurement anywhere in a 360° rotation and move the heads a total of 40° and achieve precision alignment.

It's as easy as
One, Two, Three!

The Machine Train Program

This is a great program for the alignment of 2 to 10 machines in a row. It shows the measurement values digitally and graphically in live time mode during the alignment. With RefLock function you have the option of locking any two pair of feet as locked references.

For example, if you are aligning this motor, gearbox and pump you have the option of choosing which machine will be the stationary unit or if any will be left stationary. You begin by taking the measurements across both couplings. Then you can view the results on the display or download it to a PC. You can now select different reference points to lock until you get the optimum results that suits your requirements.

Traditionally when aligning a simple machine unit we keep one (Stationary) machine locked and move the other (Moveable) machine into alignment with it. In other words, we would lock feet 1 and 2 and adjust 3 and 4. Now if we choose we can lock feet 3 and 4 and adjust 1 and 2. Or how about locking 1 and 4 and adjusting 2 and 3?. That works as well.

You can view the results as a date or as a graph in the display

Or you can also download the results to a PC and view them on the screen.

Accessories

The shaft alignment systems D480, D505 and D525 have the ability to measure the vibration level in inch/s or mm/s of a machine unit and bearing condition (g-value).

You can even add belt alignment accessories that can measure in the vertical and horizontal planes of the sheave or pulley without moving the heads.
