SKF TKSA 51 Laser Shaft Alignment Tool

The SKF TKSA 51 is a laser shaft alignment tool that provides a measurement range of up to 5m and a shaft diameter of 20-150mm. TKSA 51 instruments offer high measurement flexibility and performance suitable for any alignment job necessary. SKF designed the TKSA 51 to work with shaft alignment apps on a smart phone or tablet allowing users to conduct measurements without any special training. The TKSA 51's apps include tutorial videos that demonstrates to operators how to perform accurate measurements. Once the measurement is done, the TKSA 51 automatically generates alignment reports that can be customized with notes, a machine picture and a signature using the unit's touchscreen.

Measurement flexibility - The well-known, three-position measurement gains additional flexibility as measurements can start at any angle and require a total minimal rotation of only 40 degrees. This enables operators to perform alignments of applications with limited space.
Automatic reports - Alignment reports are generated automatically and can be customized with notes, a machine picture and a signature via touchscreen. Reports can be easily exported as PDF files and shared with other mobile apps.
Comprehensive and compact - A range of included components, such as magnetic mounting brackets and extension rods and chains, increase the TKSA 51's versatility, yet it remains compact, lightweight and easy to carry.
3-D live view - This feature enables intuitive positioning of the heads for quick alignment measurements and displays the horizontal and vertical alignment correction live. The apps enable 3-D rotation of the virtual motor to correspond with the actual machine position view.
Disturbance compensation - Measurement values are averaged over time to provide greater accuracy in presence of external disturbances.
