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. The machine manufacturers define the thermal growth of the
machines differently, but in most cases you will find it as a factor of
deliberately misalignment expressed in parallel offset and angular error.
In the Fixturlaser Alignment Systems you can pre-set thermal offset values
from the shaft alignment program before starting your alignment work.
Accepted values are feet values, clock values and parallel offset/angular
error.
Entered values are target values. Target values mean that these are the
values where the machine should be positioned when not running (cold
condition) to get a correct alignment when the machine is running (hot
condition).
Start the Thermal Offset program by touching its icon in the
Application Set-up.
PROCEDURE
Select one of three ways to express
the offset values: feet values,
predicted dial indicator values or
parallel/angular error.
