How RotAlign Elite Redefines Laser Shaft Alignment

For more than 40 years, Fluke alignment systems have set the standard for precision in rotating machinery. RotAlign Elite builds on that legacy to help today’s maintenance teams work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence than ever before.

Fast, reliable setup

Single-laser, dual-detector technology measures both axes in one step — no need for prealignment or repeated measurements and moves.

Accurate results in any configuration

Static and multi-feet modes deliver precise readings for simple and complex fixations.

Precise and reliable alignment from the start

Soft foot measurements detect base distortion to eliminate influence from external forces during coupling alignment.

Real-time monitoring during adjustment

Simultaneous Live Move displays both horizontal and vertical corrections, reducing repetitive moves.

Consistent accuracy even with limited rotation

MultiPoint, Continuous Sweep, and PassMode maintain measurement integrity when shafts cannot be fully rotated.

Dependable measurements on extended couplings

Spacer shaft function aligns flexible or long-span couplings without losing precision.

Confidence backed by data quality

Quality Factor and Standard Deviation confirm measurement repeatability before results are accepted.

Proof with every move

Measurement Video Replay provides visual confirmation of measurement quality for verification and assurance.

Upgrade-ready platform

Supports future firmware, sensor, and additional functional capabilities to match evolving alignment requirements.

Real-time alignment insight

Simultaneous Live Move shows both horizontal and vertical corrections, so adjustments remain precise throughout the entire process.

  • Align angular and parallel coupling values and machine feet positions update in real time
  • Confirm corrections before and during final tightening
  • Cut time lost to repeated measurements and correction checks

Reliable readings in real conditions

Soft Foot detection reveals base or frame distortion before you start aligning, and range alerts call out unstable readings during rotation. These safeguards keep every measurement stable and trustworthy from setup to final verification.

  • Detect and remove initial base or frame distortion
  • Quality Factor and Standard Deviation confirm measurement stability and precision
  • Prevent invalid readings from first measurement to final adjustmen

  • Support smarter decisions
    - Use quantified results to justify service or equipment investment.

RotAlign Elite adds verification tools that confirm alignment accuracy before the job is complete.

Automatic Error Detection with Intelli Modes

RotAlign Elite includes three Intelli modes — IntelliSweep™, IntelliPoint™, and IntelliPass™ — that use advanced embedded analytics to automatically detect and remove poor-quality measurement data. These modes filter out interference such as coupling backlash, environmental vibration, inconsistent rotational speed, and direction changes, so technicians capture clean, trustworthy data from the very first rotation.

IntelliSweep™
During shaft rotation, IntelliSweep™ HD records a large volume of continuous data and automatically excludes outliers caused by angular misalignment, coupling play, or vibration. This delivers significantly higher repeatability than conventional three-point measurement methods.

IntelliSweep

IntelliPoint™
Powered by SensAlign multi-axis inclinometer technology, IntelliPoint™ validates each captured point individually. If the system detects effects from backlash or instability, the point is removed before it can affect alignment quality.

IntelliPoint

IntelliPass™
For decoupled shafts, IntelliPass™ captures readings only when the laser beam is perfectly centered on the detector. This eliminates errors caused by speed variations or irregular angular positions, enabling accurate in-situ measurement without extra steps.

IntelliPass

RotAlign Elite Exclusive: Measurement Video Replay

During measurement rotation, measurement heads can inadvertently make contact with machine components, creating erroneous points. Video Replay captures every laser position on both detectors so you can review all recorded measurement data, spot outliers, and remove them instantly using Edit Points. You can confirm valid readings on-screen to prove measurement accuracy without having to start over.

Spot errors instantly:

Review sensor motion in real time to catch contact or vibration effects.

Fix without remeasuring:

Use Edit Points to remove erroneous data without repeating the measurement.

Visually validate accuracy:

Replay the complete rotational measurement to confirm all values and calculated results before sign-off.
