The ergonomically designed
control unit fits comfortably in one hand. The live display means
that you will get instant feedback when shimming or moving the
machines. This eliminates the guesswork and back and forth you're
suffering through now.
Accurate & Reliable
The
Shaft Hog features a unique "laser line" instead of
the traditional laser dot. This makes setup and alignment much
easier, as the line is wide and is easily projected to the laser
detector.
The Shaft Hog also features graduated labels on the laser heads,
that work with the laser lines, to help the operator "visualize"
the misalignment condition. This visual cue reinforces the digital
values that are displayed on the unit, and makes evaluation and
correction of misalignment an easier process.
The alignment data is continuously updated. All movements of
the motor are simultaneously displayed on the screen. The measurement
results are displayed with a resolution of 0.0001". As you
shim or move the machine the values update to let you know exactly
where you are each step of the way. This means no more guessing
about the shim amount, or how much to move a machine. With the
Shaft Hog laser alignment system there is no interpreting of
the values as with dial indicators. The position sensitive detectors
precisely measure the misalignment. The large LCD display clearly
presents the position of the machinery being aligned.
The Complete Laser Alignment Tool
The
Shaft Hog comes with all the hardware and tools you need to begin
doing laser alignments as soon as you open the carrying case.
Sleek anodized aluminum chain brackets fit a wide range of shaft
diameters (from approximately 1/8", and extra chain lengths
can be added to accommodate virtually any shaft diameter). The
transmitter-detector units are mounted on rods extending from
each of the brackets. The transmitter-detector units are clearly
labeled (one for the stationary machine, and the other for the
movable machine). The cables and the display unit are also clearly
marked, simplifying the set up. Once the transmitter-detector
units are mounted they plug directly into the display box. The
easy-to-use, ergonomically designed display fits right in your
hand. Its intuitive design means you can step through an alignment
as soon as you pick it up. The Shaft Hog has been designed to
let you concentrate your skill and effort on performing precision
alignments, not on figuring out how to use the tool.
The Shaft Hog is powered with standard batteries (2 "C"
cells). Approximately 24 hours of continuous operation are obtained
from a fresh set of batteries. The system is delivered in a rugged
case and includes all the equipment required for horizontal shaft
alignments.
