OPTALIGN smart RS is packed with powerful functions for the alignment of horizontal, vertical and flange mounted machines. The system has been designed for industrial applications and can be used in extreme maintenance working conditions.

OPTALIGN smart RS uses a single laser and a 5-axis sensor. The sensor contains two fully-linearized biaxial position detectors and a precision inclinometer. It can precisely measure relative shaft movement in five degrees of freedom. This measurement principle is the only one which allows 'Live Move' with concurrent monitoring of the vertical and horizontal machine corrections and with the sensor at any angular position.

The SWEEP measurement mode

The SWEEP measurement mode in this exclusive and patented measurement mode, data is automatically and continuously collected as the shafts are rotated. A shaft rotation captures a large number of measurement points to accurately determine the alignment condition.
Measurement can start at any position and in any direction.

Concurrent Live Move

Monitor the machine corrections concurrently in both horizontal and vertical directions with the laser and sensor mounted at any angular position on the shaft.

Wireless Communication

OPTALIGN smart RS integrates an RF-module for convenient and flexible wireless data transmission.
