Fixturlaser NXA Pro Laser Shaft Alignment System
The Fixturlaser NXA Pro is a high end digital laser system for precisely aligning rotating machinery such as motors, pumps, gearboxes, and fans. It replaced the Fixturlaser XA Professional with a new display unit and sensors aiming for faster more intuitive operation without giving up advanced functions. FixturLaser NXA Pro is now part of Acoem. By getting shafts properly aligned it helps reduce vibration, bearing and seal wear, energy use, and unplanned downtime.
Key Features
- 6.5-inch touch screen display unit: a rugged rubber coated aluminum IP65 sealed unit with a game style graphic interface ready for tough plant conditions
- Adaptive user interface: guides you step by step through the measurement
- Dual digital sensors with 2nd-generation CCD technology: both shaft positions are monitored simultaneously so the system keeps track of true shaft positions even if the machine moves during the alignment
- Gyroscopes and inclinometers in the sensors: MEMS gyros track shaft rotation angle even in vertical orientation which allows the Tripoint method for vertical machines
- OmniView: a gyro powered function that always shows the machine from the same viewing angle as the operator
- Live horizontal moves: the system goes live during correction, so you see the effect of each adjustment as it happens
- Verti-Zontal Compound Move: supports Fixturlaser alignment method for correcting machines in both planes
- Application programs: horizontal alignment vertical flange mounted alignment machine train alignment for multiple connected units and a spacer shaft program
- Target values and thermal growth: set target values before alignment and use a utility that compares cold and hot readings to calculate targets for operating conditions
- Adjustable resolution: choose the precision to suit the job
- Wireless operation: Bluetooth communication allows free movement around the machine
- Shaft brackets: for shaft diameters of 25 to 175 mm (1 to 6.9 in.) with chains or magnetic mounts
- Efficient power management: about 6 hours of operating time on a charge in the datasheet configuration and up to 10 hours of continuous measurement in manufacturer earlier statements
- Data management: save and retrieve alignment measurements and reports
Typical Applications
- Pump, motor, fan, and compressor alignment
- Vertical and flange mounted machine alignment
- Machine trains with several coupled units
- Spacer shaft and cardan shaft alignment
- Marine, power generation, wind power, and general industrial maintenance
- Predictive maintenance programs and commissioning checks
Why Choose It
The FixturLaser NXA Pro makes precision alignment fast and repeatable for both experienced alignment specialists and occasional users. Dual sensors with gyros keep measurements accurate even in difficult conditions while guided screens and live moves reduce time at the machine and the risk of errors.
