  • Page 109: Partial Flange Flatness

    PARTIAL FLANGE FLATNESS The program Partial Flange Flatness is primarily used when you want to measure only a part of a large flange. For example when a large wind tower is split in half before transportation. Preparations • Ensure a good measurement environment. Strong sunlight, warning lights, vibra- tions and temperature gradients can affect the readings.
  • Page 110 Partial flange flatness Enter distances You can measure 1 to 5 circles of measurement points, for example inner, middle and outer circles, in order to see the taper of the flange. Each circle can have 6 – 180 mea- surement points. It is possible to measure the points in different orders, inner or outer circle first, or radially.

    PARALLELISM A Examples of parallelism measurement include mutual parallelism between rolls and other surfaces in papermaking machines, printing presses, rolling mills, etc. Other examples include overhead tracks, rails, press machine tables. Laser setup To establish a good reference line, it is important to set up the laser correctly. The ref- erence line is often a line alongside the machine, but can also be a fixed object in the machine.
