The D525 System

The Easy-Laser systems were developed with the backing of more than 20 years' experience of solving measurement and alignment problems. Experience that we pass on during the high-quality training courses in measurement and alignment technology that we offer to you, the user.

The D525 is more than rugged enough for Cement plant applications.

Easy-Laser D525 offers what is probably the most comprehensive, user friendly and cost-effective measuring system for rotating machines on the market! Every part of the system is designed to withstand the most demanding environments and to be easy to operate when doing the measurements. The versatile design tackles all types of measurement quickly and accurately. You can measure all types of rotating machines, large and small, regardless of shaft diameter, and with a measurement distance of up to 66 feet (20m).

The D525 system is a lot more than just a shaft alignment system. It has all the programs and functions that are in the D505 system, however, it also has more measurement programs for measuring Flatness, Straightness, Squareness, Level, Parallelism, Spindle etc. With these programs you can virtually measure anything. All you have to add is the hardware you need. You already have all the software programs you're going to need. Although the technology is quite advanced, the principle of measurement is simple. It is based on the reverse dial indicator method of shaft alignment, with two laser measuring units mounted on either side of the coupling. The results can be stored and downloaded (The Windows® program EasyLinkTM is included) to a PC or sent to a printer (accessory) Here, because we cannot rotate the shaft, we are sliding the Laser/Detector measuring units on the machined coupling hubs, using the spirit level vials that are in each head.

Features Include:

Small, light measuring units. Cables with push/pull connectors. Rugged membrane keyboard. Display unit in anodized aluminum. Long-running battery-powered unit. Three threaded mounting hole options on the measuring units. (For mounting to a machine spindle, for example.) Magnet base for direct fixing to shaft or coupling flange. Backlit display. Universal shaft brackets with chains. Large detector surfaces. (Allows measurement at long distances). Built-in temperature sensors in both measuring units to check the temperature of the measuring units during the measuring process. Built-in electronic inclinometers in both measuring units. Clear spirit levels in both measuring units. Extension rods of stainless steel.

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 D525 has to offer.

Programs included in system D505

	Horizontal 9-12-3 - For the alignment of horizontal machines by the 9-12-3 method.
	Soft Foot - With this program you check so that the machine is resting on all feet. Shows which foot should be corrected (if necessary)
	EasyTurnTM - For the alignment of horizontal machines. Allows complete measurement with only 40" rotation of the shafts.
	Cardan - Shows the angular errors and adjustment value on cardan-shaft-coupled/center-offset machines. (Requires accessory fixtures.)
	Vertical - For measurement of vertical and flange mounted machines.
	Machine Train - For the alignment of two to ten machines in a row (nine couplings). The entire alignment can be followed live on the screen.
	RefLockTM - Any pair of feet can be locked/set as a reference. This is a sub-function in the machine train program.
	Thermal Growth Compensation - Compensates for difference in thermal growth between machines. This is a sub-program in the machine train program.
	Offset and Angle - Shows center offset and angular error between two shafts, for example. Also suitable for dynamic measurements.
	Values - Shows live readings from S- and M-unit. Can be used for shaft alignment, straightness measurement and dynamic measurement. Up to four detectors can be connected in series and be zeroed individually.
	New Vibrometer - Shows vibration level in "mm/s" or "inch/s" and bearing condition value in "g".
	Straightness - For straightness measurement of (for example) machine foundations, shafts, bearing journals, machine tools, etc. Can handle up to 150 measuring points with two zero points.
	Flatness - Program to measure flatness/twist of (for example) machine foundations, machine tables, etc. Handles up to 300 measuring points with three zero points.
	Squareness - For measurement of squareness in machines and installations.
	Parallelism - For measurement of parallelism between rolls, machine ends, etc. Can handle up to 150 rolls/measurement objects. The baseline or any roll may be used as a reference. Every object can be individually named.
	Spindle Direction - For measurement of the pointing direction of machine spindles machine tool, drilling machines, etc.
	Centre of Circle - Used for straightness measurement of bearing journals when the bore diameter varies. For example diesel engines, propeller shaft installations, etc.
	Half-Circle - Readings are taken at three positions, for example 9, 6, and 3. Allows varying bore diameters. To be used together with the Turbine system.
	Plumb Line - With this program you measure plumb (vertical) and straightness of turbine and generator shafts, for example.
	Flange - For flatness measurement of flanges and circular planes, slewing ring bearings for example. Can handle up to 150 measuring points. Three zero points at 120° pitch are computed by the system.
	BTA digital -For alignment of belt and chain drives. (Requires accessories BTA Digital transmitter and detector unit.)

Both the D505 and D525 shaft alignment systems have the ability to measure the vibration level in inch/s or mm/s of a machine unit and bearing condition (g-value). Using a single instrument, you now have the opportunity to not only accurately install your machine units you can also confirm the results by taking a benchmark (Baseline) vibration reading that can be used to qualify the installation using an ISO Standard.		Easy Laser vibration transducer
		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.   D160 belt alignment accessory.

With the basic D525 shaft alignment system, you can use the Laser Detector heads for measuring straightness or spindle alignment. However if you want to measure flatness etc. you will have to add other hardware.

For instance, for spindle alignment we also offer this D146 laser that can be rotated up to 2000 RPM

This D22 swivelling laser is used in the measurement of Flatness, Squareness and Straightness etc.

Or this two axis detector that can be used to measure the alignment of extruder tubes.

What do you need to measure?
It may be something simple, such as.. Are these beams straight? Are they parallel to each other? Are they flat? How about level? Tell us what you need to measure and we can customize a system that fits your needs.
