A big concern for the plant maintenance technician today is the concern for proper machine shaft alignment. The old methods of using rulers and dial indicators to ensure your rotating machinery is properly aligned is cumbersome and unreliable. The Fluke 830 was designed to save thousand of dollars per year in replacement bearing and machine costs, labor hours of unscheduled repair time, and devastating forced outages, including taking years off your machine’s life cycle.
The Fluke 830 Laser Shaft Alignment sets-up quickly and easily, while giving you quick, accurate and reliable advice that will keep your machines running for many years. Field data is important in shaft alignment and the Fluke 830 provides you with the necessary answers to install and connect your machinery properly.
The Fluke 830 figures out the complicated alignment calculations for you, meaning you’ll be able to align your machine and get your plant up and running quickly. You can also forget about calibrating those rulers and dial indicators, they can stay in the draw unsed. The 830 has an easy to understand, intuiative user interfacewhich is easy to understand. You don't have to have a degree in mechnical engineering to understand the with the Fluke 830's “All-in-One” result screen. THe display show you the coupling results and the feet corrections in both planes, in real terms, so you can understand the data and make quick alginment adjustments.
