A New Standard in Laser Shaft Alignment

Intuitive Operation with Smart Features

Optalign Smart RS5 simplifies laser shaft alignment through an ergonomic design and intelligent measurement functions. With just a few steps, technicians can capture accurate alignment data and receive instant evaluation using the built-in TolChek® automatic assessment system.

Ergonomic, Industrial-Grade Design

From its compact size to the rugged housing, the Optalign Smart RS5 is engineered to perform in demanding industrial environments. The high-resolution TFT screen, glove-compatible buttons, and durable components ensure reliability in harsh conditions.

Key Features of the Optalign Smart RS5

1. Single-Laser UniBeam® Technology

The patented UniBeam design simplifies setup and beam adjustment. A single laser beam allows quick alignment preparation while maintaining exceptional accuracy.

2. Wireless Connectivity

With integrated Bluetooth® communication and USB interfaces, the system supports:

• Wireless sensor communication

• Seamless data transfer

• Quick connectivity to the alignment computer

This eliminates cable clutter and improves workflow efficiency.

3. Continuous Automatic Measurement

The system captures measurements automatically as the shaft rotates. Alignment can begin or end at any position, making it ideal for machines with limited rotation or restricted access.

4. Alignment of Non-Rotatable Shafts

Optalign Smart RS5 includes advanced measurement methods that enable accurate alignment even when shafts cannot be rotated freely.

5. QuickCheck™ Instant Evaluation

Using just a single dimension input, QuickCheck displays both horizontal and vertical coupling values, allowing technicians to rapidly determine machine alignment status.

6. Static & Dynamic Modes

• Static Mode: Capture data from any 3 of 8 available measurement positions (every 45°).

• Dynamic Mode: Continuous real-time monitoring of horizontal or vertical corrections.

7. Powerful Reporting Tools

The included PC software, Alignment Reporter, enables:

• Measurement file backup

• Print-ready PDF reports

• Digital documentation for maintenance records
