Easy-Laser® E710 is an alignment system that is complete in its full meaning. It does not just give you all the functions for shaft alignment, it also gives the opportunity to check the machine base and any bearing play using the standard equipment.​

Programs for horizontal machines, soft foot checks, machine trains, vertical/flange mounted and cardan/offset mounted machines are included. Furthermore programs for straightness, flatness/twist and parallelism measurement are included. Using accessories you can also align sheaves/pulleys with digital precision and check vibration levels. Large, clear colour screen, wireless measuring units (included as standard), long operating life and robust design give a measurement system that is both reliable and easy to use.

Easy to use = fast and efficient

When we talk about simplicity we mean several things, for example, simple to place or mount the measurement equipment on the measurement object, easy to perform the measurement and easy to interpret the measurement result. With Easy-Laser® E710 you can measure all types of rotating machinery, large and small, equally well, regardless of shaft diameter. 

Wireless measuring units (laser/detector) enable you to work more freely. The measurement values can be registered with only 40° rotation of the shafts. You can then align it ”live” using the measuring units in any position around the shaft. The programs guide you step-by-step through the measuring procedure for the perfect measuring result.

[MÄTPROGRAM]

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

Horizontal machines
Horizontal machines

Horizontally mounted machines often consist of a pump and a motor, but can also include other types of machines such as gearboxes and compressors. Regardless of the machine type, it is easy to measure and align with Easy-Laser®. The measuring units (M and S) are easily mounted on each side of the coupling and communicate with the display unit wireless. Then follow the step-by-step instructions on screen.

Vertical/flange mounted machines
Vertical/flange mounted machines

This program is used for alignment of vertical and flange-mounted machines, e.g. pumps, motors, gear boxes. Shows centre offset, angular error and shim value at each bolt.

Machine train
Machine train

Regardless of what machines you have and in which order they were assembled, you can build your own machine train with theoretically as many machines as you like. You can pick the reference machine manually, or let the program choose one that will minimize the need for adjustments. 

Cardan mounted machines
Cardan/offset mounted machines*

Alignment of cardan/offset mounted machines. (Accessory Cardan fixture, Part No. 12-0615 is required.)

Soft foot check

Alignment work begins with a soft foot check. The soft foot check ensures that the machine is resting evenly on all its feet by indicating which foot/feet should be adjusted. This is an important part of securing a reliable alignment. After the soft foot check is complete, you can go directly to the alignment program with all of the machine’s distance values saved.

Twist measurement

The twist measurement program allows you to check the flatness or twist of the machine foundation using only the measuring units in the system. 

Values program
Values - Digital dial indicator

The Values program can be used e.g. when one wants to measure as with dial gauges and to check bearing play or shaft load. With the standard equipment and completely normal set up on the machine!

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. To get even more out of your system, add the D22 swiveling laser.

Flatness measurement

Program to measure flatness/twist of (for example) machine bases, machine tables, etc. With advanced "best-fit" calculations.

Belt alignment program
Belt alignment*

Using the system you can align sheaves and pulleys with digital precision. Adjustment of the machines is displayed in real time on the screen, with readings for angle and axial displacement in both the vertical and horizontal axes, as well as an adjustment value for the front or rear foot pair. The result can be documented as normal. (Requires the XT190 BTA accessory.)

[MÄTMETODER]

9-12-3
9-12-3

Measurement points are recorded at fixed points 9, 12 and 3 o’clock. This is the classic three-point method which can be used in most cases. The preferred method for situations where the machine to be aligned is mounted on a moving object, and it is not possible to use the inclinometers (e.g., on ships, cranes, wind turbines etc.).

EasyTurn™ function
EasyTurn™ function

Ideal method for coupled machines where you manually rotate the shafts to any position. The EasyTurn™ function allows you to begin the measurement process from anywhere on the turn. You can turn the shaft to any three positions with as little as 20° between each position to register the measurement values. An easier-to-use version of the three-point method (see 9–12–3). 

Multi point
Multi point

Multi point is basically the same as EasyTurn™, but instead you can record multiple points on the sector rotated. This will provide an optimized calculation basis. Perfect for e.g. turbine and sliding bearing applications.

Display unit E51

The display unit for the E series enables you to work more efficiently and for longer than ever before thanks to several innovative solutions. It is also ergonomically designed with easy-to-grip rubber cladding and robust construction.

Ergonomic design

The display unit has a thin, easy-to-grip and rubber coated profile that ensures a secure grip. It has large well-spaced buttons that give clear feedback when pushed. In addition, the two Enter buttons make the system suitable for both right and left-handed users. The display screen has clear graphics that guide you through the measurement process.

Personal settings

You can create a user profile where you can save your personal settings. You can also have different settings for different types of measurements. It makes work faster!

Language selection

You can choose the language that you want to appear on screen. English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Finnish, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese are available. 

Upgrading

If you wish to expand functionality in the future, the software in the display unit can be upgraded via the internet or by connecting a USB memory containing the new software. In this way you will also have access to the measurement programmes that we develop for new purposes in the future.

Measuring units ES / EM

The measuring units have large 20 mm [0.78” sq] detector surfaces (PSD for the greatest accuracy) which allows the possibility of measuring at a distance of up to 20 metres[66 feet]. The substantial and rigid design of aluminium and stainless steel guarantees stable measurement values and reliable alignment with the greatest precision in even the toughest of environments. The measuring units are also water and dust proof to classes IP66 and IP67. Connect to the display unit via cable or wirelessly. Both cable and wireless units are connected quickly using Push/Pull connections, no screwing required.

Inclinometers in both units

With electronic inclinometers in both measuring units the system knows exactly how they are positioned. This also makes it very easy to align uncoupled shafts.

Electronic targets

Thanks to the two axis detectors you have access to electronic targets, that is you can see on the screen where the laser beams hit.

Flexible mounting options

The thinking behind the rigid and compact design, is that it will simplify positioning and provide varying installation methods. You can measure all types of rotating machine, large and small, equally well, regardless of shaft diameter. The units also have two extra screw holes for additional mounting options.

Two lasers, two PSDs

The so called reversed measurement method with two laser beams and two PSDs makes it possible to also measure very incorrectly set machines. This is particularly good for new installations, where the machines are not yet in the correct position.
