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.

• In the Tripoint™ method, machinery positions can be calculated with

as little as 60 degrees of rotation. The data is not always “live”. The

Tripoint™ method is useful in limited rotation situations or when

machines are hard to turn in both directions.

THE CLOCK METHOD

Select the Clock method in the Application Set-up.

Measurement Procedure

1. 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 dimension. The D

dimension is set by default to half the A measure, but can be

changed by touching the D field and entering the correct value.

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 centers.
