From the Inventors of
Laser Shaft Alignment
Match your requirements
with OPTALIGN® PLUS Series
Precise shaft alignment pays. Well
aligned couplings reduce bearing
and seal damage, minimize energy
loss, and reduce production downtime. OPTALIGN® PLUS Series offers both precision alignment and
timesaving convenience of laserbased systems. It gives you the
benefits of a dynamic laser shaft
alignment system without stretching the budget.
What is “Series”?
OPTALIGN® PLUS Series is a concept that allows you to design your
own device by acquiring the exact
features you need. The default entry level has the features necessary
for standard horizontal shaft alignment. As job demands grow, additional user benefits can be purchased, enhancing capabilities at
any time.

Alignment condition
determined with only three keys
3. Results
The alignment condition is
displayed with a smiley,
foot correction values, coupling gap and offset.
2. Measure
The auto start / stop capability allows continuous
shaft rotation to start at any
position – in any direction.
1. Dimensions
Enter machine dimensions
as prompted on the display
using the robust keyboard.
A case full of confidence
Like the components inside it, this
lockable, purpose designed case is
rugged and shock proof. Just the
ideal case for industrial environments.
Measurement flexibility
Master alignment challenges
OPTALIGN® PLUS Series uses the
patented EZ-Sweep® which allows
minimum and continuous shaft rotation, and eliminates coupling
play effects. Measurement starts
automatically as the shaft is rotated, eliminating any possibility of
user error.
Loaded features
Aligns horizontal machines
Automatic continous
sweep mode
Measures soft foot and
stores the results
Horizontal & vertical ‘Live
Move’ at any 45° position
Overcomes shaft rotation
restrictions
OPTALIGN® PLUS Series has the
features required for standard
alignment. These features translate
into customer benefits by helping
saving time and drastically
reducing unplanned machinery
breakdown.
Continuous sweep mode
This quick and straightforward
measurement mode is ideal
for standard machines and requires a shaft rotation of as
little as 60°.
Static measure mode
For coupled
and uncoupled shafts
Unaffected by backlash
Variable averaging and
deviation band
Measurement files are reusable and can be edited
Save up to 10
measurement files
Print reports directly or
use the printing software
Resume recalls the last file
if it was not saved
Main and reserve battery
UniBeam® enables quick
laser beam adjustment
Static mode
This measurement mode is
used for nonrotatable and uncoupled shafts. Measurement
requires 3 or more of the 8
available measurement positions.

Movement restrictions
Problems arising from basebound or bolt-bound feet are
resolved by redefining fixed
feet.

Save up to 25
measurement files
Save up to 99
measurement files
Acquire all the above
features in one go
OPTALIGN® PLUS Explorer
for full editing capabilities
Choose coupling type
Accuracy of results is ensured
as the type of coupling used is
taken into account and the
true offsets are calculated at
the real coupling planes.
InfiniRange
The detector measurement
area is automatically extended
to allow alignment of grossly
misaligned machines and for
long spans.
Thermal growth
Thermal growth at the feet
and at the coupling can be
input for both machines to
take into account thermal and
dynamic load growth.
Multipoint mode
For shafts that are mounted
on all types of bearings. Measurement requires 3 points or
more at any position over 60°
rotation.

Optional brackets for any
application
Intrinsically safe version for
explosive environments
Make OPTALIGN® PLUS Series a
most versatile laser shaft alignment
system by configuring it with useful features that handle thermal
growth, 6-feet machines and vertical machines among others.
A most versatile bracket
The compact magnetic bracket
ALI 2.112 SET mounts quickly
and is straightforward to use.
Its powerful magnets fit onto
nearly any flat coupling surface
enabling rigid mounting in a
matter of seconds. It’s ideal for
machines with large coupling
flanges.
It turns when shafts can’t
When one or both shafts cannot be rotated for measurement, the sliding magnetic
bracket ALI 2.230 comes to the
rescue. It glides around the
outside of the coupling or shaft
end from one measurement
position to the next, providing
an elegantly simple solution.
