MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT FEATURE Cardan shift alignment in minutes
Premature wear of cardan shaft joints is a common cause of machine downtime. With patented brackets and new measurement methods PRÜFTECHNIK says it reinvents cardan shaft alignment. Forget removal and the associated
costs and risks: crane hire, safety hazards, machine damage and intensive manpower. Using the specially designed bracket with a rotating arm it takes minutes. Attach the pre-mounted brackets on the shafts using the supplied chains, enter dimensions, rotate shafts to the next measurement position and take the readings. Since the sensor is mounted on a
rotating arm it can be turned back as the shafts are rotated. The sensor is then moved along the posts to intersect the laser beam. This procedure is repeated for several shaft positions to capture the readings. The alignment condition is accurately measured after as little as a 60° shaft rotation and the angular cardan misalignment can be corrected by moving the machine according to the displayed feet correction values. Depending on the application the whole
alignment can be completed within less than half an hour. With the accuracy of all PRÜFTECHNIK alignment equipment
users can count on their machinery to run under optimal conditions to realise maximum machine reliability. Cardan shafts are common types of
couplings in many industries and PRÜFTECHNIK is an independent solution provider for maintenance with expertise in all sectors. The application is available with the ROTALIGN Ultra iS alignment platform as of firmware 3.03.

AVOID BREAKDOWN
IMC Group has introduced vibration and shock monitoring technology to CNC milling machines used to produce aluminium parts for the aerospace industry. The unexpected failure of machines had left the manufacturer facing significant costs and loss of customer confidence. Central to the effective running of a machine are its spindles and bearings which are subjected to massive forces during operation. Yet manual checking procedures are not always a high priority and when they are missed hidden problems can surface. Additionally, not all potential problems are detectable by a worker whereas monitoring technology can pick up the smallest inconsistencies. IMC Contor uses tri-axial Piezo accelerometer technology to record precise spindle vibration, assisting the operator to manage preventative maintenance. The real-time CBM information provided prevents damaging outcomes with instant alarm notifications of excessive impact to the spindle, providing vital data that reduces maintenance costs and production downtime.
