Shaftalign is a precise, easy-to-use shaft alignment tool incorporating error-proof functions for any user from Ludeca Inc.
With a TFT backlit color display, it combines simplicity of operation with precise measurement and state-of-the-art technology.
Intuitive auto-flow capability guides the user to obtain the desired machinery alignment condition. The innovative "Active Clock" measurement mode automatically collects the laser coordinates for the corresponding shaft position. Only three readings during a rotation angle of less than 70 degrees are required to achieve a precision alignment. All relevant alignment results are displayed in one screen, including the alignment status evaluation through (Smiley) and LEDs.
A built-in light sensor optimizes screen image quality and power management. Rechargeable batteries save operating cost and contribute toward a greener environment.
Shaftalign also can be upgraded to more powerful features as alignment requirements increase. The tool offers a variety of options to generate

and archive alignment measurement reports through its freeware Alignment Reporter PC Software, or through the direct reports as PDF to a memory stick.
Precision alignment contributes to savings in the consumption of electricity, extends the life of bearings, seals and couplings and also the Mean-Time-Between-Failure.
