1 23 rd February 2006 Page 1 of 4 Emerson Adds Laser Shaft Alignment Capability to its Machinery Health Analyser This pioneering wireless enhancement to the CSI 2130 Machinery Health Analyser delivers the industry s most complete portable tool to assess and maintain mechanical equipment. Emerson Process Management has added laser shaft alignment capability to the CSI 2130 Machinery Health Analyser. With Emerson s pioneering wireless laser fixtures, machine shaft alignment is quicker and easier than ever before, minimising plant outages and getting production back on line fast. The addition of laser shaft alignment extends the scope of the CSI 2130 to offer users the industry s most complete set of capabilities for fast, accurate assessment of rotating machinery condition. The CSI 2130 is now able to address many maintenance needs including single and dual-channel vibration analysis, cross channel analysis, transient analysis and structural analysis (collection of data for ODS and Modal animation). The CSI 2130 is also ideal for motor monitoring, dynamic balancing and now, laser shaft alignment. The CSI 2130 builds on the capabilities of Emerson s widely successful CSI 2120 analyser while adding a backlit, full colour display with four times the resolution. Colourcoded reports present complex machinery data in a format that makes it easy to drive through to the required action. When using the live machine move in the new alignment application, for instance, the machine target dynamically transitions from red to yellow to green, as the two shafts come into alignment. The modular design of the CSI 2130 ensures a solid investment in technology, allowing users to initially select only the required functionality and then upgrade the unit to add other capabilities at any time often in the field.
