  • Page 4: Sensalign Laser

    (Undefined variable: General.UserGuideTitle) sensALIGN laser The semiconductor laser diode emits a ray of red light (wavelength 635 nm) which is vis- ible where it strikes a surface. The Class 2 laser beam is emitted with a diameter of approx. 5 mm (3/16”). sensALIGN laser is turned on by pressing and holding the On/Off switch briefly.
  • Page 5 Information regarding the battery status, the rotational angle, the temperature and the serial number of the sensALIGN laser are transmitted through the laser beam into sensALIGN sensor. This inform- ation is further relayed to ROTALIGN touch computer. sensALIGN laser is powered using sensALIGN rechargeable battery (3.7 V 1.6 Ah Lithium Polymer rechargeable battery).

  • Page 6: Sensalign Sensor

    Integrated in the sensor is Bluetooth technology for wireless transmission of measurement data to ROTALIGN touch computer. sensALIGN sensor also transmits sensALIGN laser data to the computer. The intelligent sensALIGN sensor technology is used to determine shaft rotational angle and machine vibration.
  • Page 7 (Undefined variable: General.UserGuideTitle) The four beam adjustment LEDs provide additional help when adjusting the laser beam position on sensALIGN sensor position detectors. The LEDs indicate the angle and position at which the laser beam enters the sensor. The LEDs blink either red or green depending on the angle at which the laser beam strikes the sensor.
  • Page 8 (Undefined variable: General.UserGuideTitle) sensALIGN rechargeable battery Both sensALIGN laser and sensALIGN sensor are powered using the sensALIGN rechargeable bat- tery. The battery is charged via the charger/adapter socket using the sensALIGN charger/adapter. If the battery capacity is greater than 50% [acceptable capacity for measurement], the battery status LED on both sensALIGN laser and sensor lights up green for 2 seconds on switching on.

  • Page 10: Mounting Components

    (Undefined variable: General.UserGuideTitle) Mounting components Mounting brackets Mount the brackets on either side of the coupling on either the shafts or on the solid coupling hubs, and both at the same rotational position. Please note the following in order to obtain the highest possible measurement accuracy and to avoid damage to equipment: Ensure that the brackets fit solidly onto their mounting surfaces! Do not use self-constructed mounting brackets, or modify the original bracket configuration supplied by PRÜFTECHNIK...

  • Page 19: Measurement Modes

    (Undefined variable: General.UserGuideTitle) Measurement modes The following measurement modes are available for horizontal machine configurations: IntelliSWEEP – This is the measurement mode used to measure standard coupled machines. It detects error influences such as coupling play, rough rotation and environmental vibration, and automatically eliminates the induced errors.
  • Page 20 (Undefined variable: General.UserGuideTitle) In the above example, Multipoint measurement has been selected. The quality of the measurement may be displayed either as a measurement standard deviation (SD) or measurement quality factor. The averaging is set by tapping the 'Averaging' button. Averaging In certain industrial conditions, it may be necessary to increase the number of measurements (recorded laser pulses) to be averaged when taking readings to attain the desired accuracy.

  • Page 21: Multipoint Measurement

    (Undefined variable: General.UserGuideTitle) Multipoint measurement This mode is used to measure shafts which are either difficult to turn continuously or allow meas- urement only in certain rotational positions. The method can also be used to measure uncoupled shafts, nonrotatable shafts, sleeve bearings, white metal bearings and journal (radial) bearings, shafts that are difficult to turn, shafts with herky-jerky rotation, situations with long spans or severe mis- alignment that will readily cause the beam to fall out of range.
