    T-218T 2-Axis Turbine Target The T-218T turbine target works much the same as reference targets. The target fixture (A-502A) is swept into the center of the bore using the A-501(A) sweep unit, then the target is placed in the fixture and the reading is taken. A positive vertical reading means the diaphragm is higher than the reference bores.

  • Page 12 Mount the A-502L onto the first length of angle iron with the support arm underneath the angle iron and onto the second length of angle iron. Use a measuring tape to center the A-502L with the bore from side to side. The magnetic mounts are designed so that the A-502L will be very near to the center when mounted onto the angle iron.

  • Page 14 Move the Bore Sweep Rod tip to the other side of the bore. Using the horizontal adjustment knobs, center the A-502 in the bore according to the desired offsets determined by the shaft centerline. Note: The adjustment knobs are only push adjustments.
  • Page 15 Move the bore sweep rod tip back to the opposite side of the bore and readjust to the desired set point if necessary. If any adjustment is made, the Digital Dial Indicator must be e re-zeroed at the original set point. Move the Bore Sweep Rod tip to the bottom of the bore.
  • Page 16 Place the A-501 Sweep Unit in the A-502 and adjust it to the desired set points as defined previously. Place the L-705 Laser in the A-502L so the bubble level is level from side to side and secure it with the thumb screw.

  • Page 19: Measuring Bores Using The A-1511 Wand Bore Target/R-1308 Readout

    Measuring Bores Using the A-1511 Wand Bore Target/R-1308 Readout There are two methods of obtaining readings when using the A-1511 Wand Bore Fixture. The first method is by attaching the R-1308 Readout to the target. The second method is by using the R-1307 Readout for wireless communication.
  • Page 20 Attach the R-1308 Single-Axis Readout to the A-1511 Wand Bore Fixture and plug it into the readout port on the side of the A-1519-2.4ZB Target. Place the measuring tip against the side of the bore so it is resting on the support leg. Press the Display Mode button on the readout to change the display to horizontal bars.

  • Page 21: Calculating The Bore Misalignment

    Press the Display Mode button on the readout to display the horizontal bars. Adjust the support leg until fewer than three bars are showing. Press the Display Mode button again to display the vertical reading. Slowly sweep the target in and out until you get the highest number reading on the readout.

  • Page 22: Measuring Bores Using The A-1511 Wand Bore Target/R-1307 Readout

    Measuring Bores Using the A-1511 Wand Bore Target/R-1307 Readout Ensure that the R-1307 Readout is configured correctly for the A-1519-2.4ZB Wireless Target. See Appendix B beginning on Page 24 for configuration instructions. Place the measuring tip on the side of the bore so it is resting on the support leg.
  • Page 23 Rotate the target 180 degrees on the fixture. Place the measuring leg against the opposite side of the bore so it is resting on the support leg. Adjust the support leg until the horizontal numbers are less than .030 in. (0.77mm). Slowly sweep the target in and out until the highest number displays on the R- 1307 Readout.

  • Page 24: Calculating The Bore Misalignment

    Slowly sweep the target in and out until the highest number displays on the R- 1307 Readout. Record that number on a sheet of paper. Note: Be sure to note whether the number is positive (+) or negative (-). Repeat this procedure in each of the components to be measured.

  • Page 25: Appendix A - The Normin Method (Bore And Spindle)

    Appendix A – The NORMIN Method (Bore and Spindle) NORMIN method developed Hamar Laser Instruments compensating for laser or target mounting errors in bore or spindle work. The word is a contraction of “NORMal-INverted,” which briefly describes the method. It is quite similar to the four clock readings taken with dial indicators, but uses a laser and a target instead.
  • Page 26 The readout always shows the displacement between the Target Center and the Laser Beam Center. When the Target Center is not on the True Bore Center, the numbers and the signs on the readout will change when the target is rotated because the Target Center is moved to a different location in relationship to the laser beam.

  • Page 30: Appendix C - Care And Cleaning Of Target Optics

    Appendix C – Care and Cleaning of Target Optics The proper care and cleaning of optical windows and/or lenses of Hamar Laser’s position-sensing devices (targets) assures optimum performance. Contaminants on an optical surface increase scatter, absorb laser energy, and eventually degrade the accuracy of the position-sensing devices. Because cleaning any precision optic risks damaging the surface, optics should only be cleaned when absolutely necessary.
