TrakVue® 2.0 (Coming Soon) Precision Optical Tracking, Alignment & Measurement Tool
A video-based system for accurately tracking machinery and equipment position changes over time. It easily characterizes, measures, and tracks macro movements of equipment that occur during startup or operation. Ideal for diagnosing alignment issues caused by thermal growth or piping pressure loads shifting throughout operation.
About TrakVue®
Virtually all rotating equipment will undergo a change in position during start-up and while running that affects the alignment of the shafts due to thermal growth and/or piping pressure loads due to changes in the operating condition of equipment from unloaded to loaded operating points, and/or casing and support counter-reactions to the torque produced by rotors as they function. Quickly and confidently diagnose and resolve the improper alignment these operating conditions cause with the “hands off” and highly accurate (< 0.5 mil, or 13 micron) TrakVue® software.
"The TrakVue® video-based system will be
a game-changer for quickly understanding
the complicated alignment movement which
can cause serious problems in machinery."
