intelliSWEEP™

The intelligent intelliSWEEP™ HD measure mode actively sup­ports the user by detecting error influences such as coupling
play, rotational angle discrepancies or vibration, and automati­cally eliminating them.
As shafts rotate, a large amount of measurement data is
automatically and continuously recorded. This is much more
accurate when compared to measurement methods where
measurement is taken at only three positions.

“intelliSWEEP™: the new and unique

intelligent HD measurement mode that

collects and processes hundreds

of real measurement points”

Real time quality factor

The ROTALIGN computer monitors and displays in real time the
quality of each measurement, guaranteeing that better measure­ment data is collected, continuously evaluating quality factors
and providing a quality score for each measurement.

Quality factors

 Rotation angle

 Ellipse standard deviation

 Environment vibration

 Rotation evenness

 Angle rotation inertia

Ultra iS is the only system

Soft Foot Wizard Move Simulator

A soft foot wizard analyzes and diagnoses your soft
foot condition and suggest s the right solution.

Are you bolt-bound or base -bound? The Move Simulator lets
you explore alternatives to get aligned when optimized move
solutions with static feet are impractical.

ROTALIGN® Ultra iS – the only solution for all your measurement tasks

4

Align your shaft with
intelliSWEEP™ in three simple steps:

1. Enter dimensions

2. Rotate shafts

3. Display alignment results

Monitor Positional Change

Live Trend is a monitoring
function used to analyze
thermal or process-related
machine positional changes
during run-up and coast
down phases, at the same
time recording machine
vibration.

Vibration Acceptance Check

The vibration check following
the alignment ensures that the
machine can be operated without
restrictions.
No additional accessories are
required with ROTALIGN

ROTALIGN

®

Ultra iS – stands for ‘intelligent System’ –

is a modular platform for a wide range of applications.
ROTALIGN

®

Ultra iS is a combination of ROTALIGN® Ultra

and the intelligent sensALIGN™ sensor and laser.

RFID
machine identification

An RFID reader and tag
uniquely identify the
machine; basic data is read
out and written back after
the alignment job. Data
can be accessed with NFC­enabled smartphones.

Geometric applications

Accurate measurement of straight­ness, surface flatness, levelness,
parallelism and perpendicularity.

Machine train and multiple coupling

Align up to 7 machines simlutaneously
and measure the alignment of up to 14
machines. See results graphically and to
scale for all machines in the train.

Bore alignment

ROTALIGN

®

Ultra iS can measure the
offsets between a train of bores and
provide optimized alignment solutions for
any configuration. Fix one or more bores
or align to a differential profile, lets you
use presets and targets. Ideal for internal
combustion engines, piston compres­sors, crosshead guides, pumps, stern
tubes and extruder barrels. Align steam
and gas turbine internals, bearing rings,
diaphragms, inner shells and casings.

We care for your assets. Our precision is your benefit

6

Over 40 years’ experience in making your machines run better

Extend machine availability and efficiency

Precision alignment pays

Good shaft alignment increases the mean time between fail­ures (MTBF) and reduces power consumption. This saves you
money. Better alignment also means less vibration and higher
product quality.

Precision alignment guarantees

 Reduced energy consumption

 Reduction in bearing, seal, shaft and coupling failures

 Decreased bearing and coupling temperatures

 Reduced vibration

 Improved product quality

Advantages of laser shaft alignment

Easy to use single laser technology with patented continuous
sweep measurement from PRÜFTECHNIK lets you take hun­dreds of readings, with the highest accuracy, under the worst
of field conditions, ensuring fast yet easy alignments.

 User-friendly and intuitive

 Accurate and precise

 Take unlimited readings at any desired positions

 Measurement repeatability and documentation through

a measurement table offering powerful data analysis
capabilities

 Live monitoring of machine corrections in vertical and

horizontal directions simultaneously

 Documentation and professional reports in color, with

pictures and graphs
