INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your choice of Fixturlaser Shaft 100. We hope that this system

will be your favourite tool from now on. This manual will take you through the

different procedures. Since the system is built for easiest possible use, you will not

need to read the entire manual but please take a look at the pages concerning

handling and care before you get started with your first alignment. The Fixturlaser

Shaft 100 user interface is entirely built upon signs and icons, no text. In most cases

the icons are clear and do not cause any misunderstanding, but to your convenienceyou will find an icon index in the end of this manual.

This manual describes the system and its functions. It is not an alignment handbook

sorting out the different problems you might run into when you perform an align-

ment. But it will help you with the basic procedures for each of the programs pro-

vided with the system.

THE METHOD

FIXTURLASER SHAFT 100, HOWITWORKS

The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 is based upon the principle of a reverse indicator alignment

system. Instead of steel bars with dials it uses two laser beams. Unlike steel bars the

laser beams do not have the disadvantage of sagging and this contributes to the

systems high degree of accuracy.

The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 also has two measurement systems but in this case these

are electronic targets rather than mechanical dial indicators. These are built in

together with the laser transmitter in a pair of units, the Transmitter/Detector units

(TD-units).

With standard dial measurement techniques the results need to be graphed out

manually and calculations are needed to establish the corrections required. With theFixturlaser Shaft 100 all this is done automatically. Real time alignment values are

displayed as the machine is moved. You can see the effect of tightening a bolt as

soon as it happens.

The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 is equipped with a permanent memory where you can store

measurement results for later printout or transfer to computers for further processing.

THE TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE

A touch screen is, as it says, touch sensible. A light touch of your fingertip on the

displayed icon activates the icons function. We have found that a clean display

with just the necessary information, and with symbols in stead 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. The icons represent a func-

tion and activate the specific functions when touched. The fill-in boxes activate a

numerical or alphanumerical keyboard depending on the program you are in. Active

or touchable icons and fill-in boxes have a thick outline or/and a grey background.

SAFETYAND CARE

POWERSUPPLY

The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 is 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. There are

two batteries in each compartment. The batteries should be replaced with the plus

pole pointing inwards the display unit and the minus pole pointing towards the caps.

You can use rechargeable NiCd-batteries but you should expect shorter operating

time than with alkaline batteries. If the system turns off due to low power, the system

returns, after battery replacement or connection of external power, to the applicationwhere it was when it turned off. No information is lost!

If the system is to be stored for a longer period of time the batteries should be

removed to prevent damage.

The external power unit is connected to the terminal next to the serial port on the

display unit and to a wall socket with 110 - 240 Volts.

SAFETY

The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 use two laser diodes with a power output of < 0,5 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 elses eyes.

Your system complies with the requirements in:

SS-EN-60825-1-1994

British Standard BS 4803 Parts 1 to 3

Deutsche Industrie Norm DIN JEC 76 (CO) 6

USA FDA Standard 21 CFR, Ch 1, Part 1040.10 and 1040.11

14/66


TREATMENTANDCARE

The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 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 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. For the best

possible function, the laser diode apertures, detector surfaces and connector

terminals should be kept free of grease or dirt. The display unit should be

kept clean and the screen surface protected from scratches.

16/66


FIXTURE ATTACHMENT& CABLE CONNECTION

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 overtighten.

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 station-

ary machine. If the shaft diameter is too large the chains can be extended with the

optional extension chains.Connect the cables between the display unit and the TD-units. There are two ways

you can do this:

1. Connect one cable between the display unit and one of the TD units. Then

connect the second cable between the TD-units.

2. Connect one cable from one of the terminals on the display unit to one of

the terminals on TD-M. Then connect the second cable from the other

terminal on the display unit to one of the terminals on TD-S.

You can use any of two terminals on each unit.

If, for any reason, you detach a cable during measurement you will need to return to

the main menu and then restart the measurement program.


17/66


The optional extension fixtures are used together with either the V-block fixtures or

the magnet bases. If the space between the machine casing and the coupling/shaft

end is too short for a standard set-up this fixture solves the problem.


18/66

22/66



23/66


PRE-ALIGNMENTFUNCTIONS

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 Compensation value function.

The Thermal offset program provides the possibility to pre-set known compensa-

tion values for thermal growth. Values required are normally to find in themachine specifications. The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 accepts foot values, dial

values or angular-/parallel error values.


24/66


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 Shaft 100 you can pre-set these values from the shaft alignment

program before starting your alignment work. Accepted values are feet values, clock

values and parallel offset/angular error.

PROCEDURE

1. When in the Horizontal Shaft

Alignment program touch theTool

icon.

2. Choose one of three ways to express

the offset values: feet values, TD

values or parallel/angular error.


25/66


Feet values

3A Touch the feeticon where you want to

compensate.

4A Touch the foot valueicons. Enter the

distances required and the foot values

in mm or mils according to the pre-set

unit. You can change the enteredvalues by touching the foot value

icons.

TD values (Clock values)

3B Touch theclockicon.

4B Touch theTD-S value boxand enter the

value in mm or mils according to thepre-set unit. Do the same thing for the

TD-M value. Enter the distance

between shaft ends (DBSE).

Parallel/angular error

3C Touch themisalignment icon.4C Touch theValue boxesand enter the

misalignment values in mm/100 mm

and mm, or mils/inch and mils,

according to the pre-set unit.

5. If required you can now change to the

horizontal view for entering of com-pensation values. Touch OK. The

entered values are now pre-set and the

shaft alignment can be performed with

adjustments towards zero-values.

Note: The use of compensation values is indicated in the alignment program as asmall icon in the upper right corner (the lower left corner in static feet).


26/66


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 Shaft 100 built-in Softcheck program checks each foot and displays the

result in mm or mils.

The Softcheck program is entered from the Horizontal Shaft Alignment program set-

up. The measurements A, B, C and D have to be set before checking soft foot.

PROCEDURE

1. Start the Softcheck by touching its icon from the application set-up.

2. Check that all feet bolts are firmly tightened.

3. Select a bolt of your choice by touching its icon.


27/66


4. Loosen the bolt fully and then tighten it firmly. Preferable with a dynamo-

metric wrench. The measurement value is registered by touching OK.

5. Continue with the rest of the bolts. Re-measurements can be done at any

time.

6. Do the necessary corrections and then check each foot again.

7. Exit by touching theExit icon.


28/66


SHAFTALIGNMENT

INTRODUCTION

Shaft alignment - correction of the relative position of two machines that are con-

nected, 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, verti-

cally and horizontally, until the shafts are aligned to within given tolerances.Alignment tolerances depend to a large extent on the speed of rotation of the shafts.

Machine alignment should be carried out to within the manufacturers 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 machin-

ery manufacturers recommended tolerances are not available. The tolerances are the

maximum allowable deviation from desired values, whether zero or targeted offset

for thermal growth.

2. 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 dimen-sion is measured between the bolt centres.

3. Stand by the machine to be adjusted facing the stationary machine.


31/66


4. Rotate the shafts to the 12 oclock position, using the inclinometer displaywith 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.

the reading.

6. Rotate the shafts to the next desired position. The shafts have to be rotatedover a minimum of 30 and are indicated when theRegister icon is dis-

played. Touch theRegister icon to register the reading.


39/66


8. To display the current machine position values touch the horizontal orvertical icon. If the shafts are rotated to a position where the TD-units is

NOT positioned in the 12/6 oclock or 9/3 oclock 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 posi-

tion values by using the different icons. See Icon index

To adjust the machine in TripointTM mode

1. Real time adjustment is only available at 12 and 6 oclock position for

vertical adjustment and 3 and 9 oclock 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 from12/6/9/3 oclock 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.

2. 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 move-

ment is carried out the three point measuring sequence must be repeated.

This can be done at any time using there-measureicon.

Minimum angle betweenreadings is 30.


41/66


STATIC FEET SELECTION


42/66


STATICFEETSELECTION

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.

Procedure

1. From within the Horizontal Shaft Alignment program, touch theApplication

set-up iconand then theStatic feet selection icon.

2. Enter the E and F dimensions.3. Switch to horizontal/vertical view if necessary by touching theSwitch view

icon.


43/66


4. Locking symbols for each foot are now displayed. Touch the two feet youchoose to lock. The feet values are displayed at the unlocked feet as live

values.

5. View the horizontal values by touching theSwitch view icon.

6. Different feet to lock can be selected by first unlocking the locked feet.

7. Go back to the horizontal shaft alignment program by touching theExit icon.

Note:

If the measurement is going to be saved after adjustment is made in the Static FeetSelection-mode, the measurement has to be re-made before saving.

VERTICAL SHAFTALIGNMENT


44/66


VERTICAL SHAFTALIGNMENT

APPLICATION SET-UP


Displayed measurement value resolution: 0,1 - 0,01 - 0,001mm / 10, 1, 0.1 mils

Filtered values: Sample time from 1-99 seconds

PROCEDURE

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.

1. From the Main menu touch theVertical Shaft Alignment

icon (program 2).

2. 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. Confirm with OK. Continue

with the B value (Diameter of bolt pattern) and the

number of bolts. The D measure is by default set to

half the A measure, but can be changed by touching

the D field and entering the correct value. Any

values can be corrected if necessary. Note. The A

dimension is measured from centre to centre of the

rods. Set the TD units so that they are approximately

parallel at the 12 oclock position.


45/66


3. Position yourself where it is easiest to turn the shafts through 180. Thisposition ideally should correspond to a 6 oclock position. The first bolt is at

the position 9 oclock. Turn the shafts to where the TD units are positioned at

9 oclock and touch the corresponding icon.

Tip: Mark up the different positions before you start measuring.


46/66


4. Turn the shafts 180 to the 3 oclock position. Touch the corresponding iconto register the reading. The displayed values show the current position of the

machine in the 9 to 3 oclock axis.


47/66


5. Rotate the shaft to the 12 oclock position and touch the12 oclock icon. Thevalues displayed are the alignment in the 12 to 6 oclock axis. The list of

values displayed is the position values for each bolt. These correspond to the

shim thickness that should be placed under each bolt to eliminate the

angular error. The first bolt value corresponds to the bolt at the 9 oclock

position. The parallelism error is corrected using the live display.


48/66


6. Start with correction of the angular error by adding shims where required.

7. To adjust the machine in the 6 to 12 oclock direction, rotate the shafts to

the 12 oclock position and touch the corresponding icon. Use the parallel-

ism display to correct the error.

8. To adjust the machine in the 3 to 9 oclock direction, rotate the shaft to the

3 oclock position and touch the corresponding icon. Use the parallelism

display to correct the error.

9. The result can be printed out by touching the Print icon, or saved for later

print-out or transfer to PCs by touching theFile Drawer icon. The measure-

ment will be stored in the permanent memory labelled with the current date

and time. For more details see The Memory Manager.Note: It is the measurement results that is stored in memory and not the
