E Q U I P M E N T G A L L E RY for shaft alignment personnel: Align Terms, Laser Dials and Therm Align. Align Terms is a reference app for machine shaft alignment that enables lookup of shaft alignment terms and access to instructional videos. Laser Dials is an app to convert shaft alignment measurements between rim and face dial indicator readings and laser system angles and offsets. The Therm Align app helps those performing shaft alignments calculate the value of compensations for thermal growth (also known as dynamic movement) of rotating equipment. Therm Align will calculate the thermal offsets needed to compensate for this thermal movement. Movement of both the stationary and movable components is taken into account to determine the proper compensating "target values" needed on the movable piece of equipment. All three apps are available for free download at the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. www.fixturlaser.se 2013.
