Fluke 830 Laser

Shaft Alignment Tool

The all new Fluke 830 Laser Shaft Alignment
Tool is the ideal test tool to precision-align
rotating shafts in your facility.

It’s a known fact—all rotating machinery is susceptible to misalign­ment. If you’re still using rulers and dial indicators to ensure your
rotating machinery is properly aligned, you could be losing thou­sands of dollars per year in replacement bearing costs, hours of
unnecessary repair time, and crippling unplanned downtime, not to
mention taking years off your machine’s useful life.

There’s more to shaft alignment than
taking measurements and making adjust­ments—when uptime matters picking the
right tool is critical.

The Fluke 830 Laser Shaft Alignment tool is easy­to-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.

Since machine downtime is costly, test repeat­ability is critical. The Fluke 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.

High quality brackets ensure the sensor and
prism don’t slip as the shaft is rotated.

severity scale indicating whether
your machine is misaligned.

“Live” mode provides immedi­ate dynamic feedback while you
make alignment adjustments—
eliminating the need to perform
additional diagnostics.

When machines are well outside of accepted tolerances it can be
difficult to get accurate alignment readings. For these gross mis­alignment problems the Fluke 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 perform an initial rough
alignment.

Additional features and benefits:

1. Clock mode for vertical & flanged machines

2. Machine Flip to flip image of machine on screen for alignment jobs
with obstructions

3. Resume mode to save your work and return back at the same step
(anytime you need)
