INTRODUCTION Congratulations to your choice of a Fixturlaser® Alignment system. We hope that this system will fulfill all your expectations, and we know by experience that most users find new areas where this system is of great value. The manual describes the content of all Fixturlaser® Alignment systems. Overviews at page 1.2 - 1.4 show all applications, functions and main equipment that can be included in your system. The purpose of this manual is to guide you through the different procedures.
OVERVIEW OF APPLICATIONS This is an overview of all the applications in the Fixturlaser® Alignment Systems.
Rectangular plane Circular plane Roll Parallelism Receiver Display Real Time Data Transfer Memory Manager System Set-up OVERVIEW OF FUNCTIONS This is an overview of all the functions in the Fixturlaser® Alignment Systems. Which ones that are included depend on which configuration you have selected.
OVERVIEW OF EQUIPMENT This is an overview of all the main equipment in the Fixturlaser® Alignment Systems. Which parts that are included depend on which configuration you have selected.
SAFETY AND CARE POWER SUPPLY Fixturlaser Alignment Systems are powered by four alkaline batteries, size LR 20, in the display unit or by the optional external power unit. The lifetime of the batteries is approximately 24 hours when the system is used for a typical alignment job. The power indicator in the main menu displays the power from the batteries. When the power is low a battery replacement warning appears on the screen. The batteries are replaced by opening the caps revealing the battery tubes.
SAFETY Fixturlaser Alignment Systems use laser diodes with a power output of < 1,0 mW. The laser classification is Class 2 which is considered safe for its intended use with only minor precautions required. These are: Never stare directly into the laser transmitter. Never shine the laser directly into anyone else’s eyes.

TREATMENT AND CARE The Fixturlaser Alignment System has been developed for industrial use and is sealed against water and dust in accordance with IP65. The system should be cleaned with a cotton cloth or a cotton bud tipped swab moistened with a mild soap solution with exception for the detector surface, which should be cleaned with alcohol. Do not use paper tissue, which can scratch the detector surface.
THE TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE A touch screen is, as it says, touch sensitive. A light touch of your fingertip on the displayed icon activates the icon’s function. We have found that a clean display with just the necessary information, and with symbols instead of text, makes it much easier to understand, and reduces the input errors from the user to a minimum. The user interface is based upon icons and fill-in boxes.
CALIBRATING THE TOUCH SCREEN To get the touch screen to respond correctly to the icons on the display it might be necessary to recalibrate it from time to time. Screen calibrating procedure: 1. Stand in the Main Menu and look at the screen from your normal viewing angle. 2.
THE PROGRAMS (MAIN MENU) A Fixturlaser® Alignment System is provided with different programs for specific purposes. The programs included depend on which configuration you have selected. Press the red button to start the system and the Main Menu appears. From there you can select the program that you want to use.

Contrast Touching respectively on each side of the symbol increases and decreases the screen contrast. Backlight On/Off The backlight will be on for 5 minutes after last use. (When using external power the backlight is not turned off automatically.) System Off Turns off the system.
SHAFT ALIGNMENT HORIZONTAL MACHINES INTRODUCTION Shaft alignment: Correction of the relative position of two machines that are connected, such as a motor and a pump, so that the centre lines of the shafts form a straight line when the machines are working at normal operating temperature. Shaft alignment means moving the front and the rear pair of feet of one machine, vertically and horizontally, until the shafts are aligned to within given tolerances. A tolerance table is available in the system.
MOUNTING Attach the V-block fixtures on the shafts of the measurement object, one on each side of the coupling. Tighten the tension screws firmly, always using the supplied tool. Do not over-tighten. Mount the rods to the fixture and tighten firmly. Attach the TD-units on the fixtures. The TD-M should be mounted on the moveable machine and the TD-S on the stationary machine. If the shaft diameter is too large the chains can be extended with the optional extension chains.
Extension Fixtures (optional in some systems) The extension fixtures are used together with either the V-block fixtures or the magnet bases.
PRE-ALIGNMENT FUNCTIONS In the efforts to obtain the best possible conditions for a shaft alignment it is necessary to check whether the shafts are bent, the machine base is warped or if there is a soft foot condition. Alignment of machines exposed to pipe strain or thermal growth is easily performed with the Thermal Offset function. The Basic Straightness program is primarily designed for measurement of shaft and base straightness. See the chapter Basic Straightness measurement.
START THE PROGRAM Start the program by touching the Horizontal Shaft Alignment icon in the Main Menu. Go to the Application Set-up for selecting measurement method and other settings. APPLICATION SET-UP Settings unique for this application can be made in the Application Set-up. Which functions that are available depend on which system you have selected. Displayed measurement value resolution 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 mm / 1, 0.1, 0.01 mils (0.01 mils angle only). Sampling time Sampling time from 1-99 seconds.
Screen filter From 0 to 10, where 0 is filter off and 10 is max filter. This slows down the update frequency of the screen values without reducing the accuracy. Measurement method The Clock method or the Tripoint™ method. Softcheck Starts the sub-function for checking of soft foot conditions. Repeatability Test Starts the sub-function for repeatability test. Thermal offset Input mode for compensation values. Static feet selection Recalculates the measurement values according to static feet choice.
MEASUREMENT METHODS In the Horizontal Shaft Alignment program there are two different ways to measure, the Clock method or the Tripoint™ method. Select measurement method in the Application Set-up. • In the Clock method, machinery positions are calculated with 180 degrees of rotation and the data is always “live”. The Clock method is useful when a full 180 degrees swing can be obtained and when machines are easy to turn.
28 2. Stand by the machine to be adjusted facing the stationary machine. 3. Rotate the shafts to the 12 o’clock position, using the inclinometer display with the graphic spirit level. The led on the TD-M unit turns from flashing green to alternate red and green when within ±3° of correct position. The targets should be slid over the detectors. Adjust the lasers to the centre of both targets using the blue adjustment screws.
4. By using the inclinometer display, rotate the TD-units to the 9 o’clock position. Slide open the targets, wait until the TD-values appear, and touch the 9 o’clock icon. 5. Using the inclinometer display, rotate the shafts to the 3 o’clock position and touch the 3 o’clock icon. The screen now displays the current horizontal position of the machine.
6. Rotate the shafts to the 12 o’clock position and touch the 12 o’clock icon. The screen now displays the current vertical position. Re-measuring of all positions. Show horizontal view. Show vertical view. Open Application Set-up. Save the measurement. See Memory Manager. Print a screen dump. Exit from the program.
Evaluating Vertical Misalignment The angle and offset values are used to determine the alignment quality. These values are compared to alignment tolerances to determine whether correction is necessary. Positive Angle value Negative Angle value Positive Offset value Negative Offset value The foot values give the movable machine’s position at the feet where corrections are made. Positive values mean that the machine is high and shims must be removed.
Alignment (Clock method) Adjust the machine vertically until the values for both parallel and angular alignment are within tolerances required. Rotate the shafts to the 3 o’clock position, touch the change view icon and adjust the machine horizontally until the required alignment is achieved. Rotate the shafts back to the 12 o’clock position, touch the change view icon and check that the machine lies within the required tolerances. Alignment is now completed. To confirm the result, redo the measurement.
TRIPOINT METHOD When shafts have a limited rotation or can only be rotated in one direction. Select the Tripoint™ method in the Application Set-up. NOTE: The shafts should be coupled during the measurement using the Tripoint TM method in order to achieve as reliable and accurate results as possible. TIP: The larger angle over which the three points are measured, the fewer moves and repeat measurements will have to be made. Minimum angle between readings is 30°.
Adjust the lasers to the centre of the targets using the blue adjustment screws. Touch the register icon. This registers the first reading.
Rotate the shafts to the next desired position. The shafts have to be rotated over a minimum of 30°. The Register icon is not shown if the rotation is less than 30°. Touch the register icon to register the reading. Rotate the shafts to the third position and touch the register icon to register the reading.
If the shafts are rotated to a position where the TD-units are NOT positioned in the 12/6 o’clock or 9/3 o’clock position, the values are displayed with a black mark in the top right corner of the value box and are not real time values. You can toggle between horizontal and vertical position values by using the change view icons. Re-measuring of all positions. Show horizontal view. Show vertical view. Open Application Set-up. Save the measurement. See Memory Manager. Print a screen dump.
Alignment (Tripoint™) Real time adjustment is only available at 12 and 6 o’clock position for vertical adjustment and 3 and 9 o’clock position for horizontal adjustment. The inclinometer senses which position it is at and automatically updates the readings as the machine is moved. The shaft must be within ±3° from 12/6/9/3 o’clock positions before real time values are available. This is indicated by the led on the TD-M changing from flashing green to alternate red and green light.
Rotate the shafts back to the 12 or 6 o’clock position, touch the change view icon and check that the machine lies within the required tolerances. Alignment is now completed. To confirm the result, redo the measurement. If shaft rotation is not possible the vertical and horizontal views, without real time values, can be used to obtain corrective moves but after a movement is carried out the three point measuring sequence must be repeated. This can be done at any time using the re-measure icon.
DOCUMENTATION There are three possibilities to document the measurement. Save the measurement in the system memory. When a measurement is saved in Shaft Alignment for Horizontal Machines it is the measurement result that is stored and not the displayed measurement after performed adjustments. To store this, redo the measurement and then store it. Print the result. Export saved measurements to a computer.
SHAFT ALIGNMENT WITH OL2R INTRODUCTION Illustration 1The OL2R fixtures With the Shaft Alignment with OL2R program it is possible to measure thermal growth and compensate for this in the shaft alignment. See also Shaft Alignment Horizontal Machines. START THE PROGRAM Start the program by touching the OL2R Measurement icon in the Main Menu. Go to the Application Set-up for settings.
APPLICATION SET-UP Settings unique for this application can be made in the Application Set-up. Which functions that are available depend on which system you have selected. Displayed measurement value resolution 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 mm / 1, 0.1 and 0.01 mils (0.01 mils angle only). Sampling time Sampling time from 1-99 seconds. Screen filter From 0 to 10, where 0 is filter off and 10 is max filter. This slows down the update frequency of the screen values without reducing the accuracy.
Tolerance table Displays a table with most often used tolerances. Metric or Imperial display depending on settings for displayed units. Contrast Touching respectively on each side of the symbol increases and decreases the screen contrast. Backlight Turns on and off the screen backlight. Confirmation Confirms made selections and returns to the application program. MOUNTING & POSITIONING Draft Procedure for Mounting OL2R Fixtures on a Horizontal Shaft Machine.
the fixture. Adjust the fixture so that the laser is shining on the centre of the target on the other OL2R bracket (the TD-M should not be in place). Rotate the TD-S to 3 o’clock and find the new location of the beam. Using a wide ruler or a piece of paper determine the half-way position between the centre of the target and where the beam is now located and adjust the beam to that point using the blue thumbwheels on the TD-units. Move the Stationary end fixture to bring the beam to the centre of the target.
the centre of the target on the TD-S. Adjust the bottom thumbwheel on the TD-S until the beam is precisely on the TD-M target. Check the set-up by rotating the TD-units together to 9 o’clock, 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock. The beams should stay centered on the opposite targets at all three positions. The set-up is now complete and the OL2R procedure can be followed. Note. Now it is very important that you do not move the brackets.
MEASURING OL2R Important Note :Make sure that all safety equipment is fully mounted on the machine before starting the measurements. Cables must be away from couplings and other moving parts. If there are strong vibrations in the machine or high temperatures remove the TD-units before starting the machine. The measurement may be performed either from cold to hot conditions (OL2R) or from hot to cold conditions (R2OL) whichever is the most convenient. Enter A-distance and D-distance.
Hot condition Using the spirit levels on the OL2R-fixtures rotate the TD-units to the 9 o’clock position. Touch the 9 o’clock icon. Using the spirit levels on the OL2R-fixtures rotate the TD-units to the 3 o’clock position. Touch the 3 o’clock icon. Using the spirit levels on the OL2R-fixtures rotate the TD-units to the 12 o’clock position.
When the Hot Condition measurement is accomplished the result for Hot Condition is shown. Re-measure Hot Condition. Go to Cold Condition. Open Application Set-up. Confirm OL2R-measurement. (The OK-icon is shown when both Hot and Cold Conditions are measured.) Print a screen dump. Exit from the program.
Cold condition Using the spirit levels on the OL2R-fixtures and rotate the TD-units to the 9 o’clock position. Touch the 9 o’clock icon. Using the spirit levels on the OL2R-fixtures and rotate the TD-units to the 3 o’clock position. Touch the 3 o’clock icon. Using the spirit levels on the OL2R-fixtures and rotate the TD-units to the 12 o’clock position. Touch the 12 o’clock icon.
When the Cold Condition measurement is accomplished the result for Cold Condition is shown. Re-measure Cold Condition. Go to Hot Condition. Open Application Set-up. Confirm OL2R-measurement. (The OK-icon is shown when both Hot and Cold Conditions are measured.) Print a screen dump. Exit from the program.
SHAFT ALIGNMENT WITH OL2R When both Hot Condition and Cold Condition are measured and the OL2Rmeasurement is confirmed the difference between Hot and Cold Condition is shown. This is the Thermal Offset values (as target values). It is now possible to do a Shaft Alignment with these Thermal Offset values or save the Thermal Offset values for later use. The Shaft Alignment is done according to the chapter Shaft Alignment Horizontal machines. Go to Shaft Alignment using the Thermal Offset values.
Resume Function The Shaft Alignment program with OL2R is supported by a resume function, which stores all the necessary data temporarily. The resume function enters when the system is shut off automatically (auto off) or when the low battery warning is shown. When the system is restarted after resume a selection box appears. Touch the Shaft Alignment with OL2R icon to get back to the saved data or touch the Main Menu icon to cancel and go to the Main Menu.

Go to the Application Set-up for settings. APPLICATION SET-UP Settings unique for this application can be made in the Application Set-up. Which functions that are available depend on which system you have selected. Displayed measurement value resolution 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 mm / 1, 0.1, 0.01 mils (0.
Repeatability Test Starts the sub-function for repeatability test. Tolerance table Displays a table with most often used tolerances. Metric or Imperial display depending on settings for displayed units. Contrast Backlight Turns on and off the screen backlight. Confirmation Confirms made selections and returns to the application program.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE Settings unique for this application can be made in the Application Set-up. Which functions that are available depend on which system you have selected. The vertical shaft program calculates the shims required under each bolt to correct angular error and the live display shows the corrections required for concentricity. The screen shows the movable machine. The grey areas are data entry fields. Measure the distance between the TD units. Touch the A field and enter the value.
Position yourself at the position that corresponds to 6 o’clock where it is easiest to turn the shafts through 180°. Set the TD units so that they are approximately parallel at the 12 o’clock position. Turn the shafts to where the TD units are positioned at 9 o’clock and touch the 9 o’clock icon. The first bolt is at the position 9 o’clock. Tip: Mark up the different positions before you start measuring.
Turn the shafts 180° to the 3 o’clock position. Touch the 3 o’clock icon to register the reading. The displayed values show the current position of the machine in the 9 to 3 o’clock axis.
Rotate the shafts to the 12 o’clock position and touch the 12 o’clock icon. The displayed values show the current position of the machine in the 12 to 6 o’clock axis. The list of values displayed shows the position values for each bolt.
ALIGNMENT Adjust the angular error by adding shims under the bolts. (Negative bolt value means that shims should be added.) The first bolt value corresponds to the bolt at the 9 o’clock position. The parallelism error is corrected using the live display. 1. Start with correction of the angular error by adding shims where required. The angular error is displayed live in the 12 to 6 o’clock axis when the TD- units are placed at 12 o’clock, and in the 9 to 3 o’clock axis when they are placed at 3 o’clock. 2.
DOCUMENTATION There are three possibilities to document the measurement. Save the measurement in the system memory. When a measurement is saved in Shaft Alignment for Horizontal Machines it is the measurement result that is stored and not the displayed measurement after performed adjustments. To store this, redo the measurement and then store it. Print the result. Export saved measurements to a computer.
SHAFT ALIGNMENT CARDAN SHAFTS INTRODUCTION Cardan Shafts, or offset mounted machines, need to be aligned just as much as an ordinary mounted machine. The cardan shaft with its ball-joints admits an amount of offset mounting of the machines, but it does not tolerate angular error. To be able to accomplish an alignment of an offset mounted machine you will need to use the optional cardan fixtures.
centre, mount the revolving bracket as in 7c or with the chain fixture. Use the extension fixture and the rods. If the movable machine does not have a tapped hole and cannot be rotated, mount the lapped steel bar with the revolving bracket in its centre. Mount a target and an extension bracket on each revolving bracket and then mount the rods. Use the long rods in order to slide the TD-units above the targets.
APPLICATION SET-UP Settings unique for this application can be made in the Application Set-up. Which functions that are available depend on which system you have selected. Displayed measurement value resolution 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 mm / 1, 0.1, 0.01 mils (0.01 mils angle only). Sampling time Sampling time from 1-99 seconds. Screen filter From 0 to 10, where 0 is filter off and 10 is max filter. This slows down the update frequency of the screen values without reducing the accuracy.
Backlight Turns on and off the screen backlight. Confirmation Confirms made selections and returns to the application program.
COARSE ADJUSTMENT Mount the TD-M unit on the moveable machine and the TD-S unit on the stationary machine. To ensure that the laser will hit the target when doing the alignment we will need to “cone in” the laser beam. Slide the TD-M unit above the target Turn the TD-S unit to a vertical position. Adjust the arm fixture to a position where the laser beam from the TD-S unit hits the target on the movable machine. Note where the laser beam hits the target. Rotate the TD-S unit 180 degrees.
Slide the TD-S unit above the target and slide down the TD-M unit in position in front of the target plate Turn the TD-M unit vertically (or horizontally) and note where the laser spot hits the target. Rotate the shaft of the movable machine 180 degrees The laser spot on the target plate of the stationary machine will rotate in a circle. Adjust to half the diameter with the blue adjustment screws both vertically and horizontally. Repeat until the circle is one spot on the target plate.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE The screen shows the movable machine. The grey areas are data entry fields. Measure the distance A. Touch the A field and enter the value. Confirm with OK. Continue with the B and C dimensions Note: The A dimension is measured from centre to centre of the rods. The B dimension is measured from rod centre to first bolt centre and the C dimension is measured between the bolt centres. Stand by the machine to be adjusted facing the stationary machine.
Rotate the TD-units to the 12 o’clock position, using the spirit levels on the TD rotating brackets. The led on the TD-M unit turns from flashing green to alternate red and green when within ±3° of correct position. The targets should be slid over the detectors. Adjust the lasers to the centre of both targets using the blue adjustment screws. Rotate the TD-units to the 9 o’clock position. Slide open the targets, wait until the TD-values appear, and touch the 9 o’clock icon.
Using the spirit level in the cardan fixture, rotate the shafts to the 3 o’clock position and touch the 3 o’clock icon. The screen now displays the current horizontal position of the machine. Rotate the TD-units to the 12 o’clock position and touch the 12 o’clock icon. The screen now displays the current vertical position.
ALIGNMENT Adjust the machine until the values for angular alignment are within tolerances required. Rotate the TD-units to the 3 o’clock position, touch the change view icon and adjust the machine horizontally until the required alignment is achieved . Rotate the TD-units back to the 12 o’clock position, touch the change view icon and check that the machine lies within the required tolerances. Measurement and adjustment are now completed. To confirm the result, redo the measurement.
DOCUMENTATION There are three possibilities to document the measurement. Save the measurement in the system memory. When a measurement is saved in Shaft Alignment for Cardan Shafts it is the measurement result that is stored and not the displayed measurement after performed adjustments. To store this, redo the measurement and then store it. Print the result. Export saved measurements to a computer.
MACHINE TRAIN ALIGNMENT INTRODUCTION A machine train is three or more units with rotating shafts connected to each other with couplings, i.e. driving unit - gearbox - driven unit. With an ordinary shaft alignment system you will have to make an alignment for each machine and then calculate which one to adjust. A cumbersome task with a large risk to make errors.
Touch the coupling icon corresponding to the first coupling to measure. Each coupling is measured in the same way as in the Horizontal Shaft Alignment program. Enter dimensions and follow the procedure in the Horizontal Shaft Alignment chapter. E and F dimensions are also required in a machine train.
APPLICATION SET-UP Settings unique for this application can be made in the Application Set-up. Which functions that are available depend on which system you have selected. Displayed measurement value resolution 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 mm / 1, 0.1, 0.01 mils (0.01 mils angle only). Sampling time Sampling time from 1-99 seconds. Screen filter From 0 to 10, where 0 is filter off and 10 is max filter. This slows down the update frequency of the screen values without reducing the accuracy.
Confirmation Confirms made selections and returns to the application program.
MEASUREMENT RESULT When the last coupling is measured and the final touch on the OK icon is made the result is displayed. The screen displays the measurement result in graphics and numericals. The plotted curve represents the measured machine train. The unit that does not have a grey background is by default set to reference (stationary machine). To alter the reference unit just touch a unit symbol. The measurement result displayed beneath the curve are automatically recalculated.
ALIGNMENT After you have decided which machine to use as a reference, you use the Horizontal Shaft Alignment program to align the machine. DOCUMENTATION There are three possibilities to document the measurement. Save the measurement in the system memory. Print the result. Export saved measurements to a computer. RESUME FUNCTION The Machine Train Alignment program is supported by a resume function, which stores all the necessary data temporarily.
BASIC STRAIGHTNESS MEASUREMENT INTRODUCTION In the Basic Straightness Measurement program the laser beam is used as reference. The deviation in distance between the laser beam and the measurement object is measured in two or more positions with the use of the detector unit. Start the program by touching the Basic Straightness measurement icon in the main menu. Go to the Application Set-up for settings. APPLICATION SET-UP Settings unique for this application can be made in the Application Set-up.

REPEATABILITY TEST Before starting the straightness measurement it is recommendable to perform a repeatability test. See the chapter Repeatability Test. Do the Repeatability Test at the position far from the laser transmitter. MEASUREMENT POINT REGISTRATION 1. Position the detector unit as close to the laser transmitter as possible and open the shutter. Note the angle value displayed on the screen. Register the measurement value by touching the register icon.
2. Move the Detector to the second measurement point, check that the angle values is the same as at the previous measurement point and touch the register icon The screen now displays a keypad for entering of the distance between the measurement points. If you have set equal distance in the Application Set-up you can now enter the distance or leave the box blank. If you have selected individual distance the entering of value is mandatory.
4. When registering of all measurement points are accomplished you can touch the point on the screen that you want to use as a reference point together with the first measurement point. When a measurement point is touched the measuring sequence is ended and no further measurement points can be registered. The screen displays a curve where the first and the selected measurement point is set to zero. Below the curve you will find maximum and minimum values and the difference between these.
DOCUMENTATION There are three possibilities to document the measurement. Save the measurement in the system memory. When a measurement is saved in Basic Straightness, it is what you see that is saved. A measurement can be saved several times. For example with different reference points. Print the result. Export saved measurements to a computer. RESUME FUNCTION The Basic Straightness program is supported by a resume function, which stores all the necessary data temporarily.
ADVANCED STRAIGHTNESS MEASUREMENT INTRODUCTION In the Advanced Straightness Measurement program straightness can be measured in two axes. The laser beam is used as reference and the deviation in distance between the laser beam and the measurement object is measured in two or more positions, with the use of the receiver. Measurement methods In the Advanced Straightness Measurement program there are different measurement methods. Measurement method is selected in the application set-up.
Straightness with Multipoint. The laser beam is set roughly parallel to a center line. Two points are used as references. The receiver is placed in 3 to 16 positions at each measurement point to find the center of the measurement object. Straightness with center of tube as reference (for example Extruder). The laser beam is representing an axis of rotation. The center of the measurement object is used as reference.

STRAIGHTNESS WITH CENTRE OF TUBE AS REFERENCE For complete description see also standard straightness. Introduction The purpose of the measurement is to align the diameter center of the measurement object in relation to a reference line, represented by the laser beam. The laser beam is used to project the axis of rotation of the reference object. This method is used in applications where the reference object is positioned away from the measurement object, e.g.
Mounting of the laser transmitter T110 (or T111) to a four jaw chuck Align the laser roughly before mounting. Mount the T110 (or T111) to the adapter plates and four jaw chuck with the supplied screws, as in picture. Mounting of the receiver R210 in an extruder fixture Mount the R210 to the extruder fixture with the supplied screws, as in picture. ( -Y shall be upwards.
Coarse adjustment of the laser beam In order for the laser beam to hit within the detector surface during the entire measurement the laser beam is coarsely aligned and centered to the gearbox rotational center. 1. Mount and center the laser transmitter on the gearbox flange. Place a piece of graph paper over the die end of the barrel. This graph paper will be used as a target for the coarse alignment procedure. 2. Mark the position of the beam on the graph paper. 3. Rotate the gearbox shaft 180°. 4.
Zeroing of centerpoint Using the method with zeroing of centerpoint, the center of the measurement object is set to zero (reference). (Other references can not be selected.) A symbol indicates the selected method and another symbol indicates if rotation of laser is selected. The zeroing of centerpoint is made in three steps. 1.

Return to 2-axes Straightness Measurement by touching the OK-icon. 6.
DOCUMENTATION There are three possibilities to document the measurement. Save the measurement in the system memory. When a measurement is saved in Advanced Straightness, it is what you see that is saved. A measurement can be saved several times. For example before and after alignment or with different reference points. Print the result. Print the summary screen first and then the list to get a complete documentation of all measurement points.
FLATNESS MEASUREMENT INTRODUCTION In the Flatness Measurement program a laser plane is used as reference. The deviation in distance between the laser plane and the measurement object is measured in one or more positions with the use of the receiver. The laser plane can either be created by three reference points or by leveling, where the laser plane is put in level and where one measuring point is the reference. In the program there is support for both rectangular and circular objects.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTION Mounting of the laser transmitter T210 The T210 can either be mounted on a magnetic base or on a tripod. When using the magnetic base, mount the rod adapter on the magnetic base with the supplied screw. Attach the T210 onto the adapter with the two supplied screws, as in picture. On a tripod, use the supplied screws to attach the T210. Mounting of the laser transmitter T220 The T220 can either be placed directly on the measurement object or be mounted on a tripod.

ROLL PARALLELISM INTRODUCTION The principle of roll parallelism measurement is to select a reference and measure each roll in relation to this reference. The reference can be either an existing floor reference line, running alongside the machine, or any of the rolls. The laser beam is used to replace the reference and the Angular Prism to transpose it to the roll to be measured.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTION Mounting of the lasertransmitter T220 The T220 is mounted on one of the tripods together with the Slide Table and the Angular Bracket. The Slide Table is firstly mounted to the tripod with a 5/8” screw, or via the M6x12 screw. The Angular Bracket is attached to the Slide Table with the supplied screws. The T220 is mounted to the Angular Bracket with supplied screws as in picture. Tighten the screws well, but do not over-tighten.
Mounting of the Angular Prism You will need to mount the Slide Table and the Angular Bracket before you mount the Angular Prism. Attach the two long Rods on the Angular Bracket. Use the supplied tool to tighten the Rods. Mount the Angular Prism on the Rods with one adjustment screw pointing upwards and the other pointing away from the bracket to get easy access to them. The Prism Head and the FD15 are mounted and dismounted, without using any tools.
Mounting of the Datum Mark Pick-Up Fixture The Detector Probe Guide is mounted as in the picture using the short Rods. Use the supplied tool to tighten the rods. The Detector is positioned flat to the fixture with the cable connectors pointing upwards. The Detector Probe Guide is fixed to the Triangular Basae with the magnet by turning the lever.
Mounting of the Magnet Base Fixture Mounting of the Roll fixture 157
COARSE ADJUSTMENT The first thing you will need to do in a roll parallelism measurement is to line up the laser beam parallel to a reference. It is not necessary to do this accurately. It is only required that you adjust the beam to hit the detector surface. The software handles the deviation between the laser beam and the reference. The reference can be either floor datum marks (floor monuments) or a roll.
Coarse adjustment Fine adjustment Z axis Y axis X axis Aim the laser beam to the center of reflecting tape on the closest Datum Mark Pick-Up Fixture. Turn the turret on the T220 until the beam hits the reflecting tape on the furthest Datum Mark Pick-Up Fixture. Center the beam on the furthest reflecting tape. If the distance is large you may need to rotate the tripod head, if not you can use the lower micrometer screw on the T220.
START THE PROGRAM Start the program by touching the Roll Parallelism icon in the Main Menu. Go to the Application Set-up for settings. APPLICATION SET-UP Settings unique for this application can be made in the Application Set-up. Which functions that are available depend on which system you have selected. Resolution Sets the displayed measurement resolution to 0.1 – 0.01 – 0.001 mm in metric mode and 1 – 0.1 – 0.01 mils in imperial mode (0.01 mils angle only).
Screen filter Sets the screen filter on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is disabled and 10 is maximum filtration. This slows down the update frequency of the screen values without reducing the accuracy. Measurement registering Select between registering with detector or by manual entry. Result display Sets how the measurement result is displayed. Select between per 1000 mm (per 1”), per roll length or as an angle. Tolerance Sets the tolerance for when the zerovalue of the roll symbol should be displayed.
Confirmation Confirms made selections and returns to the application program.
ESTABLISHING THE REFERENCE . Select Reference line in the Roll Parallelism Program The screen displays a top view of your working area with three possible positions for your T220. Select the one according to your situation Measure the distance between the two datum marks where you have positioned the Datum Mark Pick-Up Fixtures with a tape measure. Touch the “A”-icon and enter the distance in mm or inch depending on the System setup. Touch OK.
Mount the Detector unit on one of the floor fixtures. Note that the cable connection must be pointing upwards. Turn the T220 turret until the laser beam hits the Detector surface. Use the cross hair on the Detector if necessary. Touch the Datum Mark icon on the Display unit corresponding to the actual position of the Detector. Wait until measurement values appear on the screen before you remove the Detector. This may take a few seconds depending on the selected Sampling Time in the Application setup.
The reference is now established and measurement of the rolls can start. You can always go back and re-check the reference at any time during the measurement process. To do so touch the Re-check icon at the far right in the Summary screen. This might be necessary if there are people working in the area. It is essential to the measurement result that the T220 remains untouched during the process. If moved, only the slightest, it is devastating to the measurement result and you will have to start over again.
SETTING UP THE ANGULAR PRISM Before the centering process can start the laser beam has to be leveled. The easiest way to achieve this is to use the tape measure to set the distance between the laser beam and the floor equally on two locations; the first location close to the T220, the second location close to the Angular Prism. Position the tripod with the Angular Prism over the reference line at the roll you want to measure.
Coarse centring and collimating of the Angular Prism Uncover the mirror by removing the Prism Turret. Coarsely adjust the Angular Prism adjusting the tripod height and using the Slide Table. Make a fine adjustment to the Angular Prism using the adjustment screws for parallel movement in the X and Y directions so that the laser spot hits the centre of the mirror.. Adjust the reflected beam so it hits the laser aperture on the T220 by using the tilt adjustment screws on the Angular Prism.
Fine centering of the Angular Prism Attach the FD15 (the centering Detector) on the Angular Prism turret and turn on its power. The LED flashes green light when turned on, and not reading any laser spot. When the laser beam hits the detector surface the light turns to permanently green or red. Rotate the turret so that the color marks are on each side (left – right). The LED on the FD15 is now permanently green or red. Green light indicates that the Angular Prism needs to be adjusted horizontally, e.g.
ROLL MEASUREMENT Select Roll measurement in the Roll Parallelism Program. The screen shows the roll viewed from the driver’s side. Touch the ID icon and enter the Roll ID. (This is mandatory). You can use 8 alphanumerical characters. Touch OK. Measure the distance between the positions on the roll, where you are going to take readings. Touch the “A” symbol and enter the distance (mm or inch depending on system settings). Touch OK.
Move the Detector to the second measurement point, adjust the angle, direct the beam and touch the Detector icon on the screen. The deviation is now displayed. The symbol indicates the direction of the deviation. The vertical deviation can now be entered. Measure the deviation using a machine level. Touch the icon for manual entry and enter the deviation. Touch OK. Touch OK to confirm the measurement results. You will now return to the Summary Screen.
Manual entry of measurement values Sometimes it is impossible to measure a roll with the Detector. In those cases it can be necessary to enter the values manually. Select Manual Entry in the Application Setup. Position a ruler, in level, on the first measurement point and direct the laser beam. Read the value where the laser beam hits the ruler. Touch the Ruler icon that corresponds to the measurement position and enter the value. Values are entered in mm or mils. Touch OK.
SUMMARY SCREEN The Summary Screen is updated as new rolls are measured. To the right of the most recently measured roll there is a new symbol for rolls to be measured. Up to 50 rolls can be measured. Measure new roll. Change of reference. Select any roll or the Reference line to become the new reference by touching its icon. All values are recalculated. Re-check of reference. (See next page) Re-measurement of a roll. Touch the Roll ID to enter the measurement screen for that particular roll.
Save the measurement. See Memory Manager. Print a screen dump. Exit from the program. CHECK THE REFERENCE LINE To ensure yourself that the T220 has not been moved during the measurement procedure a check of the reference line is recommended. Select the icon for the reference line at the far right in the Summary Screen. (This appears only if you have established a reference line previously.) Accomplish the measurement procedure as described in Establishing the reference line.
ALIGNMENT Touch the Roll ID of the roll you want to align in the Summary Screen. Touch the re-measure icon. Position the Detector on the measurement point at the end of the roll that is considered as fixed (non-adjustable) and direct the laser beam. Touch the icon corresponding to the Detector position. The deviation is zeroed. Move the Detector to the second measurement point and direct the laser beam. The measurement values are continuously updated.

REPEATABILITY TEST Before starting the measurement it is recomendable to perform a repeatability test to set the correct sampling time. With correct sampling time it is possible to reduce the influence of external conditions (e.g. air turbulence or vibrations) that otherwise would compromise the accuracy of the measuring result. The Repeatability Test takes 5 readings with the selected sampling time and shows the difference between highest and lowest value.
PROCEDURE Select sampling time. Start analysing. Touch the Repeatability test icon During the test an hour-glass is shown. The number of readings are also counted up. When the test is ready the hour-glass disappears and that 5 readings are taken is shown. The result is shown as the difference between highest and lowest value. (When using a one-axis receiver there will be no X-value.) If you are satisfied with the result press OK to confirm selected sampling time.
A screen dump can be printed by touching the print icon. Exit by touching the exit icon.
SOFTCHECK™ A soft foot condition needs to be corrected before any alignment takes place. If not, the measurement result will be of no value. It is more or less impossible to establish if there is a soft foot condition without using some kind of measurement tool. The Fixturlaser Alignment Systems built-in Softcheck TM program checks each foot and displays the result in mm or mils. The Softcheck TM program is entered from the Application Set-up in the Application program.
Select a bolt of your choice by touching its icon. Loosen the bolt fully and then tighten it firmly. Preferably with a dynamometric wrench. The measurement value is registered by touching OK. Continue with the rest of the bolts. Re-measurements can be done at any time by touching the icon at the requested bolt again. Do the necessary corrections and then check each foot again. (The values are showing approximately how much shims that are needed to eliminate the soft foot.
THERMAL OFFSET Most machines develop a certain amount of heat while running. In the best case both the driving and the driven machine are affected equally requiring no input of compensation values. But in several applications the driven machine is either hotter, i.e. a pump for hot liquid, or cooler than the driving machine.
Feet values Touch the feet icon at the Stationary or the Movable machine. Touch the foot value boxes. Enter the foot values in mm or mils according to the preset unit. Enter also required distances. Predicted dial indicator values Touch the dial indicator icon. Touch the dial indicator value boxes and enter the values in mm or mils according to the pre-set unit. Enter the distance between shaft ends (DBSE). Parallel/angular error Touch the misalignment icon.
If required you can change to the horisontal view for entering of compensation values. Touch OK. The entered values are now pre-set and the shaft alignment can be performed with adjustments towards zero-values. A screen dump can be printed by touchin the print icon. If you do not want to pre-set entered values, exit by touching the exit icon. Note: The use of compensation values is indicated in the alignment program as a small icon in the upper right corner.
STATIC FEET SELECTION In some cases the machine that is displayed as the moveable machine is not move- able, or just some of the feet of the moveable machine are not adjustable. In order to perform a proper alignment in these cases the Static Feet Selection program will be helpful. In this program you can freely select which feet to be adjustable or locked. The horizontal shaft alignment has to be accomplished before starting the program.
Switch to horizontal/vertical view if necessary by touching the switch view icons. Different feet to lock can be selected by first unlocking the locked feet. A screen dump can be printed by touching the print icon. Exit by touching the exit icon. Note: If the measurement is going to be saved after adjustment is made in the Static Feet Selection-mode, the measurement has to be re-made before saving.
TOLERANCE TABLE Alignment tolerances depend to a large extent on the speed of rotation of the shafts. Machine alignment should be carried out to within the manufacturer’s tolerances. The table below can be helpful if no limits are specified. The suggested tolerances can be used as a starting point for developing in-house tolerances when the machinery manufacturer’s recommended tolerances are not available.

FIXTURLASER AP200 ANGULAR PRISM PART NO: 1-0243 The angular prism is used for measurement of perpendicularity and parallelism together with a laser transmitter, detector and a displayunit. The angular prism is deflecting the laser beam 90° within ±0,02 mm/meter. A built-in tilt and coordination table makes it easy to adjust the angular prism to the right position. The angular prism is manufactured in hard anodized aluminum.
ANGULAR PRISM WHEN THE PRISM TURRET IS REMOVED 1. Y-adjustment (slide). 2. X-adjustment (slide). 3. Mirror. 4. Angular adjustment (tilt). 5. Rotation of prism turret. 6. Angular adjustment (tilt).
FIXTURLASER FD15 POSITIONING DETECTOR PART NO: 1-0244 Battery powered detector for mounting on the Angular prism. The detector indicates the position of the Angular prism related to the laser beam. A led on the detector emitts a red or green light depending on where to move the prism. Flashing green light indicates that the detector is turned on.
THE ELEVATION ERROR When using an angular prism, the built in prism deflects the beam 90° unregarding the angle of incidence, whitin certain limits. The elevation error occurs when you rotate the prism. In the picture below, the prism is rotated 180° around the blue dotted line, where you reach the maximum error (measure A). The closer to the centre of rotation you are able to aim the beam, the smaller elevation error.
DELTA FIXTURETM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Delta FixtureTM equipment is a flexible standard system for measurements on inside diameters. Together with the Fixturlaser Geo equipment, it is a very powerful measuring tool making the user able to perform accurate and advanced measurements by simple and quick handling. The fixtures is manufactured in anodized aluminum and consists of two center hubs and two sets of arms for diameters within 150-550 mm.
ASSEMBLY One fixture consists of different parts that has to be assembled before the measurement procedure can start. In the carrying case you will find 4 hubs and 12 sets of arms with different lengths. Each set consists of 3 identical arms. Before assembling you will have to determine the lentgh of arm necessary for your specific application. Start with mounting the detector or the transmitter to the hub and then mount the arms.
