Compensation for possible damage due to failure on Easy-Laser product is not in- ® cluded in the warranty. Freight cost to Easy-Laser is not included in the warranty. Note! Before delivery of the product for warranty repair, it is the responsibility of the buyer to backup all data.
Horizontal Safety precautions Easy-Laser is a laser instrument in laser class 2 ® with an output power normally less than 1 mW, which requires the following safety precautions: • Never stare directly into the laser beam • Never aim the laser beam at anyone else’s eyes.
For information about Easy-Laser® batteries, please see system unit details in the end of this manual. It is also good practice to remove the batteries from the equipment, when possible, e.g.
E960 TURBINE System Easy-Laser® E960-A Part no. 12-0710 This system is suitable for gas turbines and smaller steam turbines. Measures diameters 150–1700 mm [5.9”–67”]. The detector bracket comes with a slidable tube, making it possible to measure several positions in a row without moving the bracket.
E960 turbine Assemble Laser transmitter Using support beam 1. Select a horizontal support beam, long enough to rest on both sides with good margin. 2. Use as short bracket as possible to maintain stability. 3. Mount the laser transmitter approximately at the middle of the support beam using the square nuts.
Using arms If needed, you can use extension arms to mount the laser transmitter. The arms are 100–500 mm. Note! The arms are not included in the E960 system, but delivered as an option. Offset hub Laser aperture Adjustable arms...
E960 turbine Assemble Detector 1. Select a horizontal support beam and extensions, long enough to rest on both sides with good margin. 2. Mount the detector with bracket in the middle of the support beam (± 25 mm). 3. Attach probe with extension rods (approximately measuring radius – 120mm).
E960 turbine Mount slidable tube Using long stroke bracket Part no. 12-0715 Measuring probe with a stroke of 60 mm. Suitable for larger turbines. Extendable aluminium beam Magnet base Detector slide Measuring probe...
E960 turbine Beam extensions It is possible to extend the support beams. Mount three extension plates on one of the aluminum beams. Slide the second beam onto the extension plates. See image below. Using sliding bracket It is not possible to slide in a turbine segment. Sliding brackets can only be used in support bearings.
E960 turbine Preparations Check the environment • Check that the turbine has a uniform temperature. Mainly important if the turbine partly has been exposed to direct sunshine. • Check that the laser, detector and brackets are covered from direct sunlight from roof windows or other sources.
E960 turbine Rough align laser beam The visual targets are used for laser beam prealignment and should be placed at the first and last bearing seating. Part no. 12-0443 1. Place the ruler at the bearing pocket and move the adjustable side to fit the diameter.
E960 turbine Align the laser beam If extra high accuracy is required, for example during a final inspection, the beam may be precisely aligned to the reference surfaces. Note, this is not necessary during normal corrective adjustment work. 1. Place the detector at the reference point furthest away from the laser transmitter.
E960 turbine Adjust the measuring probe 1. Place the detector in the measurement position. 2. Adjust the probe length to the radius. 3. Turn the probe to position 6. 4. Adjust the detector vertically and horizontally to the centre of the laser beam.
E960 turbine Measure You can use the program Half circle or Multi- points. Here the program Half circle is used. Please note that the order of measurement or distances is not dependent on laser position. First measurement point may therefore be the most distant from the laser.
