SKF Shaft Alignment System
TKSA 80
Advanced laser shaft alignment tool
that increases alignment knowledge
Introduction
The TKSA 80 is the most advanced Shaft
Alignment System in SKFs alignment family.
It is designed to assist users with managing
the alignment process for any rotating
machinery, which consequently helps prevent decreased production caused by
machine misalignment, and promotes
reduced energy consumption and increased
operating lifespan.
It is known that, for effective machinery
alignment efforts, measurements represent
only 5% of the process. Best practices in the
alignment process itself are critical, and
craftspeople often experience difficulties
caused by omitting important alignment
steps. The TKSA 80 system provides a complete built-in alignment process that properly advances users through the alignment
effort, resulting in both improved alignment
results and increased machinery alignment
knowledge. The TKSA 80s alignment process advances users from preparation and
evaluation through correction, and finally to
reporting of alignment results.
In addition, the system offers a unique database that stores machine alignment setup
data for future use, saving valuable time.
And, with its seven inch screen, the TKSA 80
can accommodate large machine train
alignment jobs.
Key features
Seven inch colored screen with touchscreen and keypad
Rugged design for use in harsh environments 1.2 meter (3.9 feet) drop test to
MIL-STD-810F
Built-in wireless technology
Swap view enables graphics to be
swapped from one side of the machine to
the other to accommodate the users
position
Full template database
Energy efficiency indicator
Horizontal and vertical alignment
Large machine train alignment
Built-in pre-defined alignment process

The TKSA 80 integrates a pre-defined alignment process into a portable instrument. It provides users with step-by-step instructions on how
to perform alignment in the most effective and efficient sequence.

Inspection
The right tools and materials at the right place at the right time
The system reminds users of the correct tools and materials to
use, before carrying out the alignment job.
Visual inspection
Inspection fields are provided for oil level, oil leakages, foundation bolt status and wear indications, etc.
Database and fast template

The instrument offers an extensive database where a wide
range of machinery and alignment relevant information can be
stored. Based on information in this database, specific templates can be created for each machine, for re-use during
future alignment activities.
Soft foot check

The system gives users the choice to find, correct and record
soft foot conditions by either laser or by feeler gauges.
Horizontal and

Measurements
are performed
at any of three
positions, with
a shaft rotation
of as little as
30 degrees.
Machines train
Align three machines in a line (accommodates multiple
machine train alignment).
Reporting
Results in graphical format
The results are shown in graphical format and the file can be
easily downloaded to a USB memory stick from the diplay unit.
The results show the machine conditions as-found and as-corrected. Desired targets and tolerances are also displayed.
Energy efficiency
The system reports estimated extra energy consumption due
to misalignment.
Analyzing
Alignment reports are recorded in the system, which helps users
periodically compare the alignment history and monitor the
machines health trend.
Run-out check
The system reminds users to perform a simple measurement
that discovers bent shafts.
