Fluke 830 Offers

Easy to use, fast and accurate. Gives you actionable answers to make sure your plant stays up and running.

Rotating machinery is susceptible to misalignment. The Fluke 830 Laser Shaft Alignment Tool helps facility managers and maintenance personnel reduce the cost of replacement bearings, repair time, and unplanned downtime by making it easier than ever to measure and make adjustments.

This easy-to-use tool gives you fast, accurate and actionable answers that will keep plants up and running. The 830 performs complicated alignment calculations for you, meaning you'll have answers you need to quickly align your machine and get your plant up and running fast.

An enhanced user interface provides easy to understand results that don't require extensive alignment knowledge, while the unique all-in-one result screen shows you both coupling results and feet corrections in real terms. This allows users to easily take corrective action.

Because machine downtime is costly, test repeatability is critical. The 830 uses a patented single laser precision alignment system that provided accurate and repeatable measurement results so you can be assured you're addressing misalignment problems properly. High quality brackets ensure the sensor and prism don't slip as the shaft is rotated.

Features

• Single laser measurement technology
• Intuitive guided user interface
• Compass measurement mode
• Dynamic machine tolerance check
• Unique extend mode
• Data protection

Evaluate Alignment in Three Simple Steps

1: SETUP
Step-by-step input of machine dimensions.

2: MEASURE
Rotate the shaft and receive instant measurement verification.

3: DIAGNOSE
Actual correction numbers are given along with a 4-level color severity scale, indicating whether your machine is misaligned.

Handling Gross Misalignment

When machines are well outside of accepted tolerances it can be difficult to get accurate alignment readings. For these misalignments the 830 uses a unique "Extend" mode allowing for better measurement accuracy by automatically increasing the effective sensor measurement area. Increasing the sensor measurement area virtually allows the Fluke 830 to address gross misalignment quickly without the need to performa an initial rough alignment.

Rotating Machinery

50% of damage to rotating machinery is directly related to misalignment – most customers ignore it and just replace the bearings, seals and cou-plings. Precision alignment can provide up to 65% reduction in seal repairs, up to 50% longer bearing life, and up to 10% reduction in energy waste. The 830 is essentially a kit that simpli-fies precision shaft alignment, as it does not require in-depth shaft alignment education to operate. It employs an intuitive guided user interface that walks the mechanic through the steps and performs complicated alignment calculations for your team. This means you'll have the answers you need to quickly align most (not just a few) of your machines and get your plant up and running fast.
