Principal advantages of OPTALIGN PLUS
OPTALIGN PLUS gives you the benefits of:

Space-saving reflector design
10 years' industry-proven fits into places too tight
laser alignment technology for other laser systems or dial gages
low weight reduces sag
Robust laser technology Patented Unibeam principle means

withstands the shop floor only one laser beam to adjust
Handles gross misalignment or

Little shaft rotation required great separations (e.g. spacer shaft)
to determine alignment thanks to Infinirange
measurement range extension
DIM Simple 3-key operation:

M 1. Enter dimensions Calibration to local or
2. Rotate shafts international standards
3. Read results!
Reliable universal brackets for Instructions store in rear

quick, easy mounting panel for quick reference
(magnetic version also available)
Only one cable: IP65 protection:

eliminates tangling resists shock, water drops & dust
New features of OPTALIGN PLUS
OPTALIGN PLUS gives you
Flexible shaft rotation:

Non-volatile

Shaft and coupling play
Axial shaft play: Coupling torsion play (up to 5):

No effect No effect
Why is OPTALIGN PLUS unaffected by torsion play?
Measurements are considered

only during synchronous rotation of shafts:
Measurement evaluation: Torsion play

shafts turn together (without play) or back lash:

OPTALIGN PLUS handles any amount of misalignment
Severe misalignment:
Laser leaves detector range during measurement
OPTALIGN PLUS extends detector range
Range extension procedure:
1. Turn back until coordinates reappear*
2. Press
3. Readjust beam, then press
4. Proceed with measurement
