The Smart Machine Checker is designed to be used by machinery mechanics to give a clear and accurate automatic diagnosis of rotating equipment. Requires no vibration expertise or internet connection. The SMC replaces the HAWK.
Softcheck™ checks if there is a soft foot condition, i.e. when the motor is not resting firmly on all its feet.
Feetlock™
This program allows the user to test alternate solutions in situations where the movable machine is base bound or bolt bound.
Hotcheck™
This program calculates the appropriate target values for an alignment based on the machine’s hot condition and ambient condition. The ultility retrieves two saved shaft alignment measurements — one in the machine’s cold, or ambient condition and one in the hot conidition — and then calculates the appropriate target values. Those values can be used the next time to ensure proper alignment at running conditions.
Target Values
Allows the system to compensate for pre-determined alignment targets. The user can establish targets using this function and then go directly to shaft alignment.
Memory Manager
The NXA Ultimate’s data management function. Measurements can be organized in folders and subfolders. Single measurements and/or complete data structures can be copied to USB stick.
Machine Defined Data
A set of machine configuration templates for storing data for individual machines.
OmniView Activation
Opens a window for activating or deactivating OmniView, the feature that changes the on-screen orientation to match what the user is actually seeing, tracking the user’s position relative to the machine being aligned.
Adjustable Screen Filter
Allows the user to adjust the sensor’s reading rate in order to screen out severe vibration.
Sampling Time
Allows the user to modify the sampling time of the sensor readings. Also offers the ability to run a repeatability test to determine if the vibration from nearby machines is affecting the data quality of the alignment.
Resolution Shown
Allows the user to adjust the resolution, dependent upon how precise the alignment needs to be.
Extended Alignment
We train customers to use the Verti-Zontal alignment process, taking the final measurement with the sensors at 3:00 or 9:00 taking live reading. But if the situation doesn’t allow easily positioning the sensors at 3:00 or 9:00 the Extended Alignment utility can address the problem. Extended Alignment allows for live readings as long as the sensors are within +/- 45 degrees of the 3:00 or 9:00 position. Extended Alignment can also be used when making live vertical adjustments of machines mounted on adjustable chocks.
