  • Patent number: 10503131
    Abstract: A precision shaft alignment system for establishing precise concentric axial alignment of a first shaft rotatably mounted and extending from a fixed unit and a second shaft extending from a variable position unit towards the first shaft includes a control and computing interface module, a pair of measuring means for precisely measuring at least one position of the first shaft and the second shaft and a jacking system for precisely aligning the shafts. The pair of measuring means is in communication with the control and computing interface module for transferring the at least one position of the first shaft and the second shaft for establishing precise concentric axial alignment of the first shaft and the second shaft. The jacking system is controlled by the control and computing interface module for precisely aligning the shaft.

  • Patent number: 5896672
    Abstract: A portable and or modular alignment system for establishing the proper axial alignment of a first rotatably mounted shaft, and a second opposed, rotatably mounted shaft. The first shaft extending from a first unit, while second shaft extends from a second unit. The axial alignment of the first shaft with the second shaft is achieved by adjusting the relative horizontal and vertical position of the first unit with respect to the second unit, where the second shaft may be assumed to be fixed in position. The alignment system comprises a control and computing unit for receiving alignment information indicative of vertical and horizontal position changes to be provided to align the first shaft with the second shaft. Changes in the vertical position are provided by a plurality of vertical actuator units, while changes in the horizontal position are provided by a plurality of horizontal actuator units.
