PRUFTECHNIK ROTALIGN Ultra IS Laser Shaft Alignment Tool System

ROTALIGN Ultra iS – Intelligent Laser Shaft Alignment System for Advanced Machinery Maintenance

The ROTALIGN Ultra iS is an intelligent, modular laser alignment platform engineered to monitor, measure, and correct machine alignment with outstanding accuracy. Built with sensALIGN™ technology, RFID machine identification, and comprehensive geometric measurement functions, it provides a complete solution for precision alignment in industrial environments.

 Monitoring Machine Movement in Real Time

 Live Trend for Positional Change Analysis

Live Trend is an advanced monitoring function that records machine positional changes during run-up and coast-down phases. This feature captures both the thermal growth and process-related movement of machinery, while simultaneously measuring vibration levels.
It delivers a clear understanding of how machine components behave under real operating conditions.

 Integrated Vibration Acceptance Check

After completing an alignment, the built-in vibration check verifies whether the machine can operate safely and smoothly. No additional sensors or hardware are required—ROTALIGN Ultra iS performs this verification using its onboard measurement capabilities.

 Intelligent Alignment Platform for Multiple Applications

 What Makes ROTALIGN Ultra iS “Intelligent”

ROTALIGN Ultra iS represents an evolution in alignment technology, combining the classic ROTALIGN Ultra platform with the smart sensALIGN™ sensor and laser. This allows for faster processing, intelligent diagnosis, and seamless communication between the system components.

 RFID Machine Identification

With an integrated RFID reader, the system automatically identifies each machine and retrieves its stored measurement data. Alignment results can also be written back to the RFID tag, enabling complete traceability using NFC-enabled smartphones.

 Machine Train Alignment

The system supports alignment of up to seven machines simultaneously and the evaluation of up to fourteen machine positions. Operators can view complete machine trains in scale-accurate graphics, simplifying complex multi-coupling corrections.

 Bore Alignment and Geometric Measurements

 Bore Alignment for Internal Components

ROTALIGN Ultra iS measures offsets between a sequence of bores and delivers optimized alignment recommendations. This is ideal for:

• Internal combustion engines

• Piston compressors

• Crosshead guides

• Stern tubes

• Pumps and extruder barrels

• Steam and gas turbine internals

• Bearing rings and diaphragms

Precision bore alignment ensures longer service life, reduced friction, and improved machine efficiency.

 Geometric Measurement Applications

The system can also perform detailed geometric inspections such as:

• Straightness

• Surface flatness

• Levelness

• Parallelism

• Perpendicularity

These measurements are essential for machine installation, base preparation, and structural evaluations.
