ROTALIGN Ultra provides real-time measurement of machine positional changes over time. It continuously monitors vertical and horizontal displacement and angular movement of rotating machinery from cold to hot conditions using a 5-axis receiver. This allows users to establish trends in machine movement and determine the relative positional changes between coupled machines while operating. The system can also provide continuous monitoring of machine train positional displacement caused by factors like thermal growth, foundation settlement, and piping strain for comprehensive analysis.
2. Real-time measurement of machine positional changeROTALIGN Ultra real-time measurement of machine positional changeCold/hot alignment checks or theoretical calculated targets cannot accurately predict the actual positional change of a machine in real conditions.Objective: Establish the trend of a change over time (between the stopped condition and the running condition) and the influences of given events.Determining the relative positional change between coupled machines during operation. ROTALIGN Ultra utilizes its unique 5-axis receiver to monitor continuously, in real-time and simultaneously vertical and horizontal parallel displacement and vertical and horizontal angular displacement of rotating machinery, from cold to hot condition or vice versa.
