Sawmil Alignment System / Easy-Laser E980

Measurement and alignment of sawmill machinery, Easy-Laser E980

Easy-Laser E980 is a laser based measurement and alignment system that helps sawmills to make optimal use of their facilities. Correctly set up machines make it possible to maintain a high rate of production with the highest quality end products hour after hour.

Easy-Laser E980 makes it fast and easy to measure and adjust reducers, counterholds, band and circular saw blades. The laser transmitter in E980 can be used as a point or a rotating point, which gives a ”plane” to measure against. It replaces the traditional cord/wire, that was tensioned in the centre, and enables us to move around freely in the machine, screwing and adjusting, while following the result of the adjustment in real time.

With E980 you can measure straightness, flatness and squareness in relation to the vertical and horizontal planes if you wish. The system is easy for production and maintenance personnel to use and works for both band and circular saws. In addition, it is excellent for measuring flatness and ensuring that the base remains stable and level.

There is a rapid return on the investment through fewer production stoppages and more even quality in the sawn timber.

Benefits of using Easy-Laser E980 are: 

  • Higher production speed
  • Less unplanned downtime
  • Better product quality
  • Longer lifetime for blades
  • Longer lifetime for bearings
  • Less vibration
  • Less waste material

PROGRAMS AND FUNCTIONS

The key to a quick and reliable measurement are programs that guide you through the measurement process. The Easy-Laser® systems support you with smart functions and a clear user interface. Still, it is not our products that do the job, but you as a professional technician!

STRAIGHTNESS MEASUREMENT

With our program for measuring straightness, you can easily measure long shafts, rolls, bearings, bases, machine structures etc. All you have to do is define a number of measuring points, in advance or while measuring. You will be able to get the result for both the horizontal and vertical alignment, graphically as well as digitally.

FLATNESS MEASUREMENT

Program to measure flatness/twist of (for example) machine bases, machine tables, etc. With advanced “best-fit” calculations.

SQUARENESS

For measurement of squareness in machines and installations.

PARALLELISM

For parallelism measurement of rolls, rails, overhead tracks, gantries, metal sheet cutters, production lines, etc. Two methods are available: measurement with Angular prism or with Angle detector E2.

CENTRE-OF-CIRCLE, Straightness 2-point

Used for straightness measurement of bearing journals when the bore diameter varies. For example, diesel engines, propeller shaft installations, etc. With advanced “best-fit” calculations.

HALF CIRCLE, Straightness 3-point

Readings taken in three positions: 9, 6 and 3. Allows varying diameters. To be used together with the turbine system. With advanced “best-fit” calculations.

STRAIGHTNESS, 4-point

Used for straightness measurement of bearing journals. Measures two points in each direction, X and Y. Can handle up to 999 measurement points with two zero points. With advanced “best-fit” calculations.

STRAIGHTNESS, Multipoint

Used for straightness measurement of bearing journals. The number of measurement positions are theoretically unlimited for each measurement point. Can handle up to 999 measurement points with two zero points. With advanced “best-fit” calculations.

OVALITY/ROUNDNESS

For ovality measurements of bore and bearing journals. The number of measurement positions are theoretically unlimited for each bore.

OFFSET AND ANGLE

This program shows centre offset and angular error between two shafts, for example. The values are displayed for both horizontal and vertical direction simultaneously. Can also be used for dynamic measurements.

SPINDLE DIRECTION

For measurement of the pointing direction of machine spindles in machine tools, drilling machines, etc.

VALUES – DIGITAL DIAL INDICATOR

The Values program has a clear digital representation of the laser target, and a list view for recorded values. Use it to measure as with dial gauges and to check bearing play or shaft load. Can also be used to perform many types of geometric measurements.

MEASUREMENT VALUE FILTER

An advanced electronic filter function can be used to achieve reliable results even under poor measuring conditions. Air turbulence and vibrations from adjacent machines are no match for the Easy-Laser® filter function!

FLANGE FLATNESS

For flatness measurement of flanges and circular planes, slewing ring bearings and tower flanges for example. Can handle 1 to 5 circles, 3-180 measurement points on each. Three zero points at 120° pitch are computed by the system.

FLANGE PARALLELISM

For parallelism measurement of flanges on for example wind tower sections. With advanced “best-fit” calculations.

HORIZONTAL MACHINES

Horizontally mounted machines often consist of a pump and a motor, but can also include other types of machines such as gearboxes and compressors. Regardless of the machine type, it is easy to measure and align with Easy-Laser®. The measuring units (M and S) are easily mounted on each side of the coupling and communicate with the display unit wireless. Then follow the step-by-step instructions on screen.

VERTICAL/FLANGE MOUNTED MACHINES

This program is used for alignment of vertical and flange-mounted machines, e.g. pumps, motors, gear boxes. Shows centre offset, angular error and shim value at each bolt.

Machine Train

Regardless of what machines you have and in which order they were assembled, you can build your own machine train with theoretically as many machines as you like. You can pick the reference machine manually, or let the program choose one that will minimize the need for adjustments.

CARDAN/OFFSET MOUNTED MACHINES

Alignment of cardan/offset mounted machines. (Accessory Cardan fixture, Part No. 12-0615 is required.)

SOFT FOOT CHECK

Alignment work begins with a soft foot check. The soft foot check ensures that the machine is resting evenly on all its feet by indicating which foot/feet should be adjusted. This is an important part of securing a reliable alignment. After the soft foot check is complete, you can go directly to the alignment program with all of the machine’s distance values saved.

Result table

The result table shows how well your readings repeat and lets you save comments for each one.

EASYTURN™ FUNCTION

The EasyTurn™ function allows you to begin the measurement process from anywhere on the turn. You can turn the shaft to any three positions with as little as 20° between each position to register the measurement values. Voila! Measurement is complete!

BELT ALIGNMENT

Using the system you can align sheaves and pulleys with digital precision. Adjustment of the machines is displayed in real time on the screen, with readings for angle and axial displacement in both the vertical and horizontal axes, as well as an adjustment value for the front or rear foot pair. The result can be documented as normal. (Requires the XT190 BTA accessory.)
