New Sensor for Machinery Alignment System

Ludeca, Inc., has announced the new RS5 sensor for the mid-range shaft alignment market segment. It features the XL HD detector combined with the powerful InfiniRange functionality designed for increased measurement range, even over long spans of 10 m (33 ft.). With its 5-axis technology, it is designed for simultaneous live move tracking in both planes for machine corrections. This allows live monitoring of horizontal and vertical machine corrections at the same time, with the sensor at any rotational shaft position.

"The powerful synergy between the new, faster CPU and the MEMS inclinometer ensures a finer and faster acquisition of misalignment data during a continuous sweep. Hundreds of measurement readings are automatically taken during shaft rotation, ensuring highly repeatable results even in harsh conditions with vibration and under unfavorable mechanical constraints such as coupling backlash. The RS5 sensor permits highly accurate results to be obtained with as little as 60 degrees of shaft rotation, starting and ending anywhere. Users can easily view and compare results in the results table, which stores readings before starting with alignment corrections," said a company spokesperson.

According to the company, the integrated ambient light compensation makes accurate measurements possible even in strong, direct sunlight. New battery technology means reduced energy consumption for long laser and sensor runtimes in the field. The RS5 laser and sensor are designed to be fully waterproof, shockproof and dustproof for continuous service in industrial environments.
