Easy-Laser® E950 - Bore alignment

Bore alignment with the highest precision

The Easy-Laser® E950 Bore alignment system makes the control and adjustment work of bearings and bearing journals easier, thanks to the wireless detector unit and measurement programs that guide you through the measurement process. All of the parts included in the systems are designed and built for even the most demanding workplace and for easy setup on any machinery.

Easy-Laser® E950 makes checking and aligning bearings and bearing journals easier thanks to wireless detectors and versatile brackets. A large colour display with clear graphics and software that guides the user through the entire measurement process contributes to simple operation.

The system automatically calculates the bearing journals in relation to each other, both horizontally and vertically. You can then evaluate the results directly on-site with different calculation methods such as Best fit around zero and Waviness. It is also possible to analyse the different choices of reference points and set the offset and tolerance values. Another feature is the check of ovality, for example, to analyse the wear rate. The measurement system takes care of all these complicated calculations for you. You measure and align both full and half bearing journals with equal simplicity. The wireless detector eliminates uncertain factors such as cable pull. All parts are designed for maximum accuracy and stability, and measure with a resolution of 0.001 mm [0.05 mils]. Measurement distance up to 40 m [130 feet]. Easy-Laser® E950 is suitable for use both in production and out in the field.

Four versions of the measurement system

E950-A or E950-C 
Primarily for diesel engines (for example crank and camshaft bearings), gearboxes, compressors and similar applications. Positioning workpieces in machine tools is also an appropriate application.

E950-B or E950-D
Primarily for propeller shaft installations on ships with stern tubes, support bearings, gearboxes and engines.

Which system to use depends on the application. Please contact your local Easy-Laser distributor for assistance.

Straightness of shafts

With the systems, you can also measure the straightness of shafts, foundations, etc. without any additional accessories. Programs for all types of measurements are included as standard; you then adapt the measurement system with brackets and detectors for your needs now and in the future.

Measurement programs

The featured programs below are the most common used with this system. Please click here for a complete overview of possibilities.
*=accessories needed

Centre-of-circle, Straightness 2-point

Used for straightness measurement of bearing journals when the bore diameter varies. For example, diesel engines, propeller shaft installations, etc. With advanced "best-fit" calculations.

Half circle, Straightness 3-point

Readings taken in three positions: 9, 6 and 3. Allows varying diameters. To be used together with the turbine system. With advanced "best-fit" calculations.

Straightness, 4-point

Used for straightness measurement of bearing journals. Measures two points in each direction, X and Y. Can handle up to 999 measurement points with two zero points. With advanced "best-fit" calculations.

Straightness, Multipoint

Used for straightness measurement of bearing journals. The number of measurement positions are theoretically unlimited for each measurement point. Can handle up to 999 measurement points with two zero points. With advanced "best-fit" calculations.

Ovality/roundness

For ovality measurements of bore and bearing journals. The number of measurement positions are theoretically unlimited for each bore.

Straightness measurement

With our program for measuring straightness, you can easily measure long shafts, rolls, bearings, bases, machine structures etc. All you have to do is define a number of measuring points, in advance or while measuring. You will be able to get the result for both the horizontal and vertical alignment, graphically as well as digitally.

D75 Laser transmitter with arms

The laser transmitters’ rigid design assures highest measurement accuracy. The bracket has three sets of adjustable arms with magnets to fit different diameters. The arms can be mounted with 120° incremental or all three downwards, depending on if it will be mounted in a full bore or half bore. The transmitter can be mounted to point the laser beam either away from, or through, the offset hub.

Fine adjustment of the laser beam in horizontal and vertical direction is made very easy with the offset hub.
