Hands-free alignment tool

1st Quarter 2010 Other technologies

The laser-based, wireless shaft alignment tool, UPADXA, from Elos Fixturlaser brings portability to shaft alignment: the wireless display unit is worn on the arm leaving the user’s hands free. The tool is capable of simple and advanced shaft alignment applications and geometric measurements.

The VGA 3.5” 640 x 480 pixel touch screen interface guides the user during the entire measurement and alignment process via colour-coded measurement values, icons, and arrows, simplifying navigation. To optimise readability in poor and bright light conditions the screen is backlit and transreflective.
