Description
Prüftechnik OptAlign Touch Laser Shaft Alignment Tool was designed by some of the world’s leading alignment experts to solve problems in the easiest way possible. Featuring the unique sensALIGN 5 laser and sensor heads, it enables powerful, fast, and efficient ways to align machine shafts.
Designed for standard machines and everyday tasks, Prüftechnik OptAlign combines hardware, software, and WiFi connectivity to deliver precise alignment data via the cloud. Its intuitively guided user interface can be operated by almost anyone – users just need to follow the three steps for any laser shaft alignment procedure: dimensions, measure, and result.
The Prüftechnik OptAlign offers all well-known PRUFTECHNIK features necessary for every day alignment jobs: SWEEP mode measurement, simultaneous Live Move, InfiniRange, flip machines functionality, soft foot detection, dynamic tolerance (TolChek), thermal growth compensation and many more.
Prüftechnik OptAlign was created by some of the top alignment specialists in the world to provide the simplest solutions to issues. Machine shaft alignment is made possible by its powerful, quick, and effective sensALIGN 5 laser and sensor heads. All of the well-known PRUFTECHNIK functions that are required for daily alignment tasks are available with the OPTALIGN Touch, including thermal growth correction, soft foot recognition, dynamic tolerance (TolChek), simultaneous Live Move, InfiniRange, and SWEEP mode measurement.

Prüftechnik OptAlign Key benefits
Work faster without sacrificing accuracy
With intuitive setup and data acquisition and an easy-to-use handheld device, even complex alignment jobs can be done quickly with no loss in accuracy and precision.
Leverage advanced laser shaft alignment capabilities
The powerful hardware and software features in the OPTALIGN touch simplify the way you perform mounting, measuring, and shimming.
With mistake-correcting capabilities, this tool adapts to both the alignment challenge and experience level of the user.
Transfer data to and from the cloud
Send and receive alignment data from and to the ARC 4.0 PC software via an integrated WiFi connection. Monitor and trend your data for analysis and action.
sensALIGN technology
The sensALIGN Series technology is based on the inherent PRUFTECHNIK single laser technology providing highly precise measurement results and easy mounting and measuring in the field. sensALIGN 5 sensors include two HD large position-sensitive detectors (PSD) and MEMS inclinometers. Combined with the detector extension capability (InfiniRange), it is always possible to measure and document the initial alignment condition; no matter how big is the misalignment. Furthermore, this technology allows the simultaneous monitoring of the machine corrections in vertical and horizontal directions, starting from any angular position where the sensor comes to stop.
