TrakVue® 2.0 Launch: Next-Generation Precision Alignment & Motion Tracking

Meet TrakVue® 2.0: Precision Alignment & Motion Tracking

With VibVue®’s major 4.0 overhaul complete, the focus then turned to TrakVue®—MSI’s optical tracking, measurement, and alignment platform. As sister products, VibVue® and TrakVue® share core attributes, and with the launch of TrakVue® 2.0, those proven features have been carried over alongside significant user experience upgrades—delivering more intuitive, streamlined workflows from start to finish.

TrakVue® 2.0 transforms how teams diagnose, measure,and solve alignment and positional challenges—using high-resolution video and precision optical tracking to make root causes more visible.

Built for engineers who need answers fast, TrakVue® 2.0 delivers powerful motion insight across start-up, runtime, and load-shift conditions—so you can move from guesswork to certainty in decision-making.

Key Features & Functionality

• Multi-Camera Motion Capture
  Record from multiple cameras simultaneously in both slow and fast recording modes to capture every phase of machinery movement.
• Advanced Multi-Target Tracking
  Track multiple points at once with synchronized video and graph analysis for a complete motion picture.
• Precision Displacement Measurements
  Generate charts showing accurate X-Y displacement and positional change across seconds, minutes, or hours.
• Flexible Calibration Options
  Calibrate using camera references or measurement lines tool to match your real-world setup.
• Playback Measurement Tracking
  Monitor position and measurement data dynamically during video playback.
• Enhanced Video Processing
  Apply filters including edge detection, smoothing, sharpening, high-pass, and velocity visualization.
• Visual Customization
  Add target markers, motion paths, annotations, video filters, and other video adjustments to tailor videos to your preferences.
• Automated Reporting
  Export MP4 videos and auto-generate reports in PowerPoint, PDF, and Excel for rapid data extraction and file sharing among stakeholders.

Built for Real-World Machinery Challenges

TrakVue® 2.0 is engineered to measure positional change across a wide range of industrial assets, including:

• Driver equipment — motors, generators, steam/gas turbines, internal combustion engines
• Driven equipment — centrifugal compressors, pumps, HVAC systems
• Speed changers — gearboxes and fluid drives
• Piping-influenced systems — assets affected by flex, expansion, or contraction

From thermal growth during start-up to pressure-induced movement at load, TrakVue® 2.0 captures alignment shifts that traditional tools can miss. Accurately measure and verify cold offsets without shutting down the machinery train. TrakVue® also provides a convenient way to verify pipe support effectiveness during operation, ensuring nozzle loads and pipe stress on rotating machinery are properly limited.

Key Differentiators

Video-First Alignment Intelligence
See machinery movement unfold in real time with synchronized visual and data analysis.

Short- to Long-Duration Tracking
Measure motion events from rapid transients to extended operational periods.

Multi-Dimensional Insight
Combine displacement graphs, overlays, and filtered video for deeper diagnostics.

Rapid Problem Resolution
Quickly diagnose alignment issues driven by thermal change, piping forces, or operational loads.

See Alignment Differently

Virtually all rotating equipment shifts position during operation. TrakVue® 2.0 empowers reliability and maintenance teams to track it, measure it, and solve it—with confidence and clarity.

TrakVue® 2.0 isn’t just measurements—it’s motion intelligence, visualized.
