AT-400: Flagship Performance for Alignment Experts
At the pinnacle of the AT-Series portfolio is the Acoem AT-400, which offers unparalleled capabilities tailored for alignment experts. Its innovative 2-Axis sensors with large detectors enable precise alignment of horizontal, vertical, and various coupled or uncoupled machines, even in rough alignment situations.
The Dual Sweep measurement mode simplifies the measurement process by automatically capturing numerous data points with real-time adjustments during the live move monitoring of the movable machine. The OL2R* (“Offline to Running”) mode enables the precise measurement of thermal growth and other offline-to-run impacts with the utmost accuracy. These findings can be integrated into the shaft alignment measurement procedure, strategically aligning machines in cold conditions to achieve optimal alignment during operation.
Furthermore, the flatness add-on extends the AT-400’s utility beyond alignment, enabling the assessment of foundation and surface flatness. Basically, all types of machinery, including compressors, blowers, fans, turbines, pumps, gearboxes, agitators, cooling towers, and numerous others, can be aligned accurately and precisely with this top-of-the-line solution.
*OL2R will be available late 2024.
Ideal Machinery:
- Pumps, Fans, or Blowers
- Machines with Spacer Shafts
- Machines with Cardan Shafts
- Compressors
