Discover the Innovation Behind Unidirectional Dual-Beam™ and Dual-Fan™ Technology
The X-Series™ Laser Shaft Alignment products are designed with your ease of use in mind. Our Hamar software has undergone rigorous development to ensure user-friendliness, requiring minimal training even for complex applications. We aim for simplicity that instills confidence and comfort in our users, making the technology feel like second nature.
Safety Features in the X-Series™
The X-Series™ is designed with your safety in mind, and it incorporates multiple safety features, including rugged IP65 Windows® tablets and IP67 laser heads and targets suitable for harsh environments. Bluetooth® technology enables wireless communication between the tablet, laser, and target, enhancing safety around rotating equipment. Small-diameter laser beams and narrow-line laser fans maximize the PSD sensor measuring range, enhancing safety compared to competitors’ more comprehensive laser lines. With these safety features, you can feel confident and secure about the operation of the X-Series™.
Advantages of Laser Alignment Systems Over Indicators
The X-Series™ Laser Shaft Alignment products offer advantages over traditional methods like dial indicators. Determining the rotation axis of one shaft relative to another in shaft alignment is crucial for eliminating misalignment. Conventional methods could be more convenient, precise, and time-consuming, requiring interpolation of readings, compensation for bracket sag, and manual calculations, complicating the process. The X-Series™ Lasers streamline alignment by recording position and angular data using the software while rotating the laser and target, capturing up to 16 points/second. This method calculates and subtracts mounting errors from the raw data, providing highly accurate alignment without manual calculations and offering a hassle-free experience.
Unlocking Enhanced Precision and Flexibility with Dual-Beam™ Detector Technology
Our patented Dual-Beam™ technology is a game-changer in laser alignment systems. It allows for simultaneous measurement of offset and angle with just one PSD, boosting system accuracy by an impressive 50%. We conduct a meticulous 500-point calibration on the PSD, setting a new industry standard for accuracy that surpasses competitors’ systems by up to 15 times. With this level of precision and accuracy, you can trust the performance of our Dual-Beam™ technology.

But the innovation continues beyond there. With Dual-Beam™ technology, you gain an extraordinary angular range of +/- 12 degrees, ensuring consistent laser targeting even in long-distance applications. Plus, our angular resolution surpasses the highest angular tolerance by a factor of 10, guaranteeing unmatched precision in alignment processes.
Our blinking laser technology seamlessly compensates for ambient light variations to elevate performance further, ensuring reliable measurements regardless of environmental conditions.

Outperforming Competitor’s Mid-Range Systems: Introducing Entry-Level Dual-Fan™ Detector Technology
Our Dual-Fan™ technology redefines entry-level shaft alignment systems, delivering unmatched economy, versatility, and accuracy. With Dual-Fan™, you can achieve exact measurements of offset and angularity simultaneously, thanks to two 0.5-degree laser fans and two 20 mm PSDs.
![](https://semeq.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/semeq3-300x215.png)
Unlike competitors’ lasers, which pose safety concerns with wider fan spreads, our specially designed laser fan extends only to 1 inch (25.4 mm) at 15 feet (4.6 m), ensuring safer operation without compromising accuracy.
Moreover, Dual-Fan™ offers a full angular measuring range across the entire operating distance between the laser and the target. This eliminates the limitations of the “cross-fire” lasers face, which experience restricted angular measuring ranges beyond 3 feet (and 1 m). Conducts a meticulous 40-point calibration procedure on the P to further enhance accuracy, making our Dual-Fan™ technology up to 5 times more precise than competing mid-priced systems. Blinking laser-fan technology also compensates for ambient light, guaranteeing consistent environmental performance.

Effortless Precision with Extended PSD Measuring Area
Experience the convenience of our large 20-33 mm PSD measuring areas integrated into our target heads. Coupled with our uni-directional laser beams and an impressive +/- 8 to +/-12 degrees of angular range, you can bypass the time-consuming “rough” alignment process typically required during new machine installations. This translates to significant savings in labor hours each month! Simply attach the laser and target to the shafts and proceed to our Step 2 Laser Setup Screen, where you’ll find a live display of the angular alignment. Rotate the shafts, and you’re ready to capture data if you achieve readings for at least 90 degrees. If not, utilize the live display to roughly align the motor angle for data collection. It’s that straightforward!

The Advantage of Unidirectional Dual-Beam™ and Dual-Fan™ Technology for Long Spans
Long-distance applications pose challenges for traditional 2-laser/2-detector shaft systems. Even tiny angular movements can significantly affect readings, making alignment difficult, especially for the horizontal axis. Our uni-directional laser technology eliminates this problem. Unlike traditional systems, angular moves to the motor don’t impact the laser beam or offset values. This makes motor alignment remarkably easy, particularly over long distances.
