Key Features

7-Axis Measurement System
The ROTALIGN Ultra iS uses a 7-axis measurement system with an XXL HD PSD, providing a large detector area and repeatable measurements even with significant shaft misalignment or large measurement distances.

sensALIGN Technology
The system uses PRUFTECHNIK’s sensALIGN measurement technology for precision shaft alignment. The measurement system incorporates electronic inclinometers to help identify coupling backlash and improve measurement reliability.

Intelligent Measurement
The ROTALIGN Ultra iS supports intelligent measurement functions including:
intelliSWEEP
intelliPASS
intelliPOINT

These functions help evaluate measurement quality and identify unreliable measurement points caused by environmental conditions, vibration or mechanical effects.

Built-In Vibration Measurement
Unlike a basic shaft-alignment tool, the ROTALIGN Ultra iS can also perform vibration measurements.

It can be used to:
Check machine vibration before alignment
Check vibration after alignment
Monitor environmental vibration
Record vibration during Live Trend measurements

Soft Foot Wizard
The Soft Foot Wizard measures soft-foot conditions and helps analyze the results, providing guidance toward an appropriate correction.

Machine-Train Alignment
The ROTALIGN Ultra iS can align complex machine trains containing up to 14 machines, depending on the configuration.
