±12° angular range for fast alignments.
This advanced technology delivers an impressive ±12º of angular range. By using two unidirectional laser beams (2 lasers, 1 direction), it eliminates the rough-in challenges associated with traditional “crossfire” systems (2 lasers, 2 directions), making machine alignment significantly faster and easier, especially over long distances. The result: quicker alignments, more completed jobs, and satisfied managers.
Measure instantly from 2 in. to 30 ft.
Unlike traditional “crossfire” systems that require time-consuming rough-in before taking data, our Dual-Beam™ technology, with two unidirectional laser beams and a single 33 mm sensor, eliminates that step entirely. It delivers a consistent ±5 degrees of measuring range from 2 inches to 30 feet (50 mm to 10 m), far beyond the 5-foot (1.5 m) limitations of most crossfire kits. Just mount the brackets, laser, and target, and start aligning immediately.
PSD sensor cuts shim calc time in half
When it comes to critical machinery, only top-tier accuracy will do, and the X-990 PRO delivers. Featuring super-linear PSD technology and 500-point sensor linearization, the system achieves an error rate of less than 0.15%, up to 15 times better than competing systems. This level of precision ensures consistently reliable alignments, more accurate shim calculations, and fewer repeat attempts. Shim Once, Move Once™.
Maintains precision at every distance.
With traditional “crossfire” laser systems, angular resolution decreases with distance, ironically making short-coupled machines the most problematic. Hamar’s Dual-Beam™ technology maintains consistently high angular resolution from just 2 in. (50 mm) to 30 ft. (10 m), delivering up to 15x greater resolution than competing systems.

Couple6 creates a project folder for all alignment projects. This allows you to save project files for each machine in a unique folder allowing you to track machine alignments. You can save a machine setup as a template to open for other machines with the same dimensions. Also, you can click on Review Saved Projects to review a saved project. Enter your company information to be included on the reports.
Assumptions for this example: You have a 480 volt motor drawing 40 amps and operating 8400 hours/year. The Power Factor is .85. Electricity costs $0.06/kWhr. Also assume that the amp draw is measured before and after the alignment and it is found that there is a 1 amp difference.
kW =V* A*PF*1.732/1000
kW =480V* 1A*.85*1.732/1000
kW =.706 = power savings
Savings ($) = operating hours * kW savings * kW cost
Savings ($) = 8400 * .706 * $0.06/kWhr
Savings ($) = 8400 * .706 * $0.06/kWhr
Savings ($) = 355.82
If your plant has 80 similar motors, and if only half of them had the same amount of savings, it would total $355.82 * .5 = $14,232!
The coupling icons next to the data displays show the direction of the misalignment at the coupling and update as you move or shim the motor! You can also zoom in on the coupling to show them in the live display area of the screen.
