Precision laser alignment made easy
The rugged Fluke 831 has an intuitive guided user interface that enables quick and complete shaft alignment without advanced training or complicated programs. And while it’s easy to use, laser alignment with the Fluke 831 is powerful enough for the skilled technician. You can cover more of your machines with all the functionality needed on the plant floor, from thermal growth to user defined tolerances and more.

Reduce costs by avoiding downtime
Misalignment causes at least half of all damage to rotating machinery, studies show. Instead of fixing the problem, teams often just treat the symptoms of misalignment and replace bearings, couplings, and seals because they think alignment takes too long.
Contrary to expectations, laser alignment can be fast and easy. So, every machine that is repaired and overhauled should be aligned – not just a few. Teams that embrace laser alignment can save thousands of dollars per year by avoiding downtime and energy waste and reducing the number of bearings and seals they have to replace.

Accurate enough for lab use, and rugged and portable enough to take anywhere
• Best-performing industrial heat sources (accuracy, stability, uniformity) in the world
• Immersion depth to 203 mm (8 in)
• Optional ITS-90 reference input reads PRTs to ±0.006 °C
• Temperature range from –45 °C to 700 °C

Every once in a while, a new product comes around that changes the rules. It happened when we introduced handheld dry-wells. It happened when we introduced Micro-Baths. Now we’ve combined bath-level performance with dry-well functionality and legitimate reference thermometry to create Metrology Wells.

With groundbreaking new proprietary electronics from Fluke Calibration's (patents pending), Metrology Wells let you bring lab-quality performance into whatever field environment you might work in. New analog and digital control techniques provide stability as good as ±0.005 °C. And with dual-zone control, axial (or “vertical") uniformity is as good as ±0.02 °C over a 60 mm (2.36 in) zone. (That’s 60 mm!) Such performance doesn’t exist anywhere else outside of fluid baths.

In short, there are six critical components of performance in an industrial heat source (which the European metrology community explains, for example, in the document EA-10/13): calibrated display accuracy, stability, axial (vertical) uniformity, radial (well-to-well) uniformity, impact from loading, and hysteresis. We added a seventh in the form of a legitimate reference thermometer input and created an entirely new product category: Metrology Wells.

(By the way, Metrology Wells are the only products on the market supported by published specifications addressing every performance category in the EA-10/13. Our specs aren’t just hopes or guidelines. They apply to every Metrology Well we sell.)

Great performance in portable instruments
• Lightweight and very portable
• Accuracy to ±0.25 °C
• RS-232 interface
• Easy to recalibrate

If you’ve been using a dry well calibrator or dry block calibrator for field work, you know there’s a lot more to them than temperature range and stability. Size, weight, speed, convenience, and software are also significant.

A field dry well needs to be portable, flexible, and suitable for high-volume calibrations or certifications. If it's not, you’ll soon forget about the great stuff the sales rep told you and realize what you’ve really bought.

At Fluke Calibration, we use dry well calibrators every day in our manufacturing and calibration work, and we know what makes a dry well easy and productive to use—which is exactly how users describe our series of field dry wells. These dry wells work for you instead of the other way around.
