Measuring Alignment Changes

1-DAY ROTALIGN® ULTRA LIVE TREND CLASS

Cold alignment targets may not accurately predict the actual operating condition of a running machine. ROTALIGN® ULTRA Live Trend is used to monitor movement of machines during run-up or coast-down phase, in order to determine the positional change over time and the influences of given events. Our objective is to train you and your alignment team to measure positional changes (thermal growth) with ROTALIGN® ULTRA Live Trend.
