    PREPARATION FOR WORK Fix the sensor unit with the M label to the movable part of the machine, and then x the S-labeled sensor unit to the stationary. Mounting each sensor for each side as shown below. The sensor units should be xed with a shift (see the gure). Note! Fix the sensors at a reasonable distance from eachother not beyond 10m Place the v-bracket vertically on the shaft of the machine being...

  • Page 12: Preliminary Works

    (Fig. A) (Fig. B) (Fig. C) (Fig. D) Attention! M unit laser direction can be adjusted with the adjusting screw at the top of the unit. Normally, it is not required, but it may be needed if the distance between units is large. PRELIMINARY WORKS Before start of the alignment check for following: What are the alignment tolerances required?

  • Page 13: Settings

    Check for pipe strain; Check for end clearance between the shafts (axial alignment). SETTINGS Mount the sensor units on the shafts. Turn the S and M units on (the red LED indicator goes on). Turn the VIBRO-LASER software. Touch the Icon “Global settings”...
  • Page 14 Touch the Icon “Sensor units search” When connected, the indicators will illuminate in blue. Attention! After initial use the sensor units will be automatically connected by default. Choose Measurement Resolution. Choose units of measurement (millimeters or inches). Choose between metric and imperial measurement convention, and the necessary resolution (default setting is 0.01 mm or 0.4 mils).

  • Page 15: Sensor Unit Readings

    Variation of the results might be caused by instability of measurement process. Try reducing the intensity of air movement between laser and the detector (e.G. By replacing the heat sources or closing doors). If the results are still instable, increase the lter value. Default setting is 1. Most common values are from 1 to 3.

  • Page 16: Soft Foot

    Otherwise the results of a precision alignment will be inne ective. The removal of the soft foot is impossible without any measuring devices. In your VIBRO-LASER embedded alignment program you are able to provide to identify and correct soft foot.
  • Page 17 Choose the bolt by touching the Icon First loosen the chosen bolt completely, then tighten it rmly. It is recommended to use a torque wrench for tightening. Save the measurement result by touching the “OK” Icon Repeat these actions for other bolts. Note! You can carry out new measurement at any time by touching the corresponding Icon.

  • Page 29: Thermal Expansion Correction

    THERMAL EXPANSION CORRECTION During the operation the equipment is exposed to various factors and forces. The most common in uence on alignment is change of the machine temperature which leads to the enlargement of a shaft and subsequent misalignment. This process is called thermal expansion or growth. To compensate the thermal expansion you need to make a correction for the expansion of the cold machine during its heating through out operation.
  • Page 30 When the results are received, the sign is shown, indicating that the thermal correction is made.
