ROTALIGN® PRO:
ultimate alignment power ... for any situation
The best has just become even better: ROTAL-
IGN® PRO makes a quantum leap in alignment
functionality and ease of use! Now equipped to
handle an even wider range of special alignment
situations, its greatly expanded memory offers
room for entirely new types of measurement
tasks. Customized machine sets, professional
graphic ‘look and feel’ and built-in expert assis-
tance facilitate accurate interpretation and con-
venient handling of results.
ROTALIGN® PRO gives you all the advanced align- Machine train alignment!
ment capabilities of the standard ROTALIGN® and ROTALIGN® PRO handles trains of up to 6 ma-
adds a host of practical new features. For exam- chines (5 couplings), complete with specific toler-
ple, use ready-made machine templates (or define ances, targets, names and icons for each ma-
your own) to save setup time instead of having to chine. Machine trains can have horizontal or
enter all machine dimensions, tolerances, targets vertical shafts, with or without flange-mounted
etc. by hand before each alignment job. (C-face) machines!
ROTALIGN® PRO also lets you compute thermal

chine geometry and material coeffecient of ther-
mal expansion - even when machine structural
components are made of different materials!

Align cardan shafts

Cardan shafts save space by running at an angle.
But misalignment can pose a serious threat
(especially to electronically-controlled synchro-
nous and asynchronous AC drive motors) due to
rapid RPM fluctuation of the drive shaft.
ROTALIGN® PRO masters cardan shafts with ease
thanks to a new special function and optional
ALI 2.893SET large-offset brackets.

Straightness measurement with ease!

Now measure straightness (vertical and horizon-
tal) of ways, beds and other applications, far
more quickly and accurately than with conven-
tional taut wires, theodolites or even other laser
methods. Optional straightness module
ALI 3.630SET includes adjustable brackets that fit
a wide range of workpieces.

Built-in soft foot expertise!

The new Soft Foot Wizard (patent pending) helps
you resolve difficult machine frame distortion
problems on the spot. One soft foot, two soft
feet, rough adjustment of severe soft foot, or
induced soft foot from piping strain or severe
misalignment: the Soft Foot Wizard recognizes
such situations and gives you expert recommen-
dations on how to handle them.

Thermal growth computation!

No specs available for compensation of thermal
effects? Let ROTALIGN® PRO compute thermal
growth based on temperature change, machine
geometry and material coefficient of thermal
expansion - even when machine structural com-
ponents are made of different materials!

Cordless measurement!
No more cable to constantly disconnect and
reconnect when large shafts require use of turn-
ing gears for measurement rotation or in “hot”
(radiation) areas. The optional infrared data
