Fluke 830 Laser Alignment Tool

Fluke 830 Laser Alignment Tool

The Fluke 830 Laser Alignment Tool is the ideal test tool to precision-align rotating shafts in your facility. The 830 tool is easy-to-use, giving you fast, accurate and actionable answers that will keep your plant up and running. When it comes to laser shaft alignment, data is good but answers are better.

Unlike using the straightedge method or dial indicators the Fluke 830 performs the complicated alignment calculations for you, meaning you’ll have the answers you need to quickly align your machine and get your plant up and running fast. An enhanced user interface provides easy to understand results that don’t require extensive alignment knowledge and the unique “All-in-One” result screen that shows you both coupling results and feet corrections (vertical and horizontal) in real terms making it easy to take corrective action.

The 830 uses a patented single laser precision alignment system that provides accurate and repeatable measurement results so you can be assured you’re addressing misalignment problems properly.

Evaluate Alignment in Three Simple Steps

1: SETUP
Step-by-step input of machine dimensions.

2: MEASURE
Rotate the shaft and receive instant measurement verification.

3: DIAGNOSE
Actual correction numbers are given along with a 4-level color severity scale, indicating whether your machine is misaligned.

Handling Gross Misalignment

When machines are well outside of accepted tolerances it can be difficult to get accurate alignment readings. For these misalignments the 830 uses a unique “Extend” mode allowing for better measurement accuracy by automatically increasing the effective sensor measurement area. Increasing the sensor measurement area virtually allows the Fluke 830 to address gross misalignment quickly without the need to performa an initial rough alignment.

Rotating Machinery

50% of damage to rotating machinery is directly related to misalignment – most customers ignore it and just replace the bearings, seals and cou-plings. Precision alignment can provide up to 65% reduction in seal repairs, up to 50% longer bearing life, and up to 10% reduction in energy waste. The 830 is essentially a kit that simpli-fies precision shaft alignment, as it does not require in-depth shaft alignment education to operate. It employs an intuitive guided user interface that walks the mechanic through the steps and performs complicated alignment calculations for your team. This means you’ll have the answers you need to quickly align most (not just a few) of your machines and get your plant up and running fast.
