For example: for R-1307 #2 For more information on the Pulse/CONTinuous modes on the laser, see Pulse/Continuous Modes (L-705 and L-706 Lasers) on Page 5. For complete information on matching the target to the readout, see Configuring the R-1307 Readouts on Page 9.
The L-705 Hinge Line Alignment System Hamar Laser’s Hinge Line Alignment System has been a proven performer in the aerospace industry for many years. In fact, the first hinge line system Hamar Laser delivered revolutionized the industry by reducing an 8-hour job, requiring eight workers and four theodolites, to one that took only two workers less than an hour to complete.
Model L-706 Long Distance Laser For long-distance applications that exceed the range of the L-705, the L-706 Laser is equipped with the finer angular adjustments necessary to set the laser beam to the center of the far reference target. It is used for applications up to 110 ft.
Replacing the Batteries The battery pack uses two 9-volt batteries. The batteries are housed in a two-part case which is held together by flathead screws. Hamar Laser recommends using alkaline or nickel-cadmium (NiCad) cells for best performance. 1. Unplug the battery pack from the laser.
Pulse/Continuous Modes (L-705 and L-706 Lasers) The L-705 and L-706 Lasers are now equipped with a PULSE/CONTinuous switch, which manually switches the laser beam between Pulsed and Fixed Beam Modes. Pulse Mode automatically removes the effects of excess (ambient) background light for the R-1307 readouts, providing a more accurate reading.
R-1307 Target Readouts The Model R-1307 Readouts support both wireless, such as the A-1519, or cabled (local) targets. The wide choice of configurations (R-1307C, R-1307-900/2.4, R-1307-2.4ZB, R- 1307W-900/2.4 and R-1307W-2.4ZB) is designed to suit a user’s specific needs, with the R-1307-2.4ZB and the R-1307W-2.4 ZB models featuring ZigBee radio technology.

Using the MENU Key The Menu Key provides access to the operational functions of the R-1307, such as display mode, measurement units, dampening, display resolution and display brightness. In addition, communication parameters between the target and readout are set through the Menu Key. To use the Menu Key, press and hold the key for two seconds to enter Configuration Mode, and then press the Menu Key to cycle through the menu selections.

T-271 2-Axis Virtual Target for Spherical Bearings The T-271 Virtual Target is designed specifically for spherical bearings to align them down to accuracies of .0005 in. (0.013 mm). It comes with a bore adapter that is customized for the specific bore ID.

Therefore, we customize the Y dimension of the adapter to make X+Y+Z equal to A. It is important to note that the L-705 Laser emitter must be in reference point that is locked on the centerline and does not pivot. Obviously, it is important to ensure that the laser beam stays on the reference...
Assembling the System The L-705/L-706 Bearing Adaptor Assembly You will need the following components: (1X) Bearing Adaptor for Laser, of the appropriate bearing inside diameter ‘D’ • (4X) Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS), #4-40 x 3/8 • Align the rotation index mark on the laser body with the index mark on the bearing adaptor. Secure the...
Mounting the Laser on a Bearing The image at the right shows the laser mounted on a bearing. Parts requirements L-705 or L-706 with the appropriate bearing • adaptor (nose piece) pre-installed. Note: The shaft diameter of the bearing adaptor must precisely match the inside diameter of the bearing.
Mounting the T-271 Target on a Bearing The image at the right shows the T-271 Target mounted on a bearing. Parts requirements T-271 Target with the • appropriate bearing adaptor (target adaptor) pre-installed. Note: The shaft diameter of the .250 Bearing Adaptor precisely matches the inside diameter of the Bearing.
Hinge Line Alignment Procedure In the following example, bearings A, B and C will be aligned concentric to each other. Bearings A and C establish the datum line to which bearing B will be aligned. Step 1 1. Mount the laser on bearing A and the target on bearing C. 2.
Appendix A – Checking the Target Calibration Using the A- 807 Calibration Fixture 1. Remove the target bearing adaptor and replace it with the calibration mount adaptor. The calibration adaptor has a .500 in. diameter stud, suitable for mounting the target to the micrometer stage of the A-807 Calibration Fixture.

2. Rotate the center calibration micrometer to the midpoint of the travel range (.250 in.). 3. The R-1307 Readout should display readings that are close to zero on both axes. Adjust the laser beam using the angle adjustment micrometers of the L-705 Laser until the R-1307 Readout displays zero in both axes.
Appendix B – Troubleshooting Guide for the L-705 Problem Possible Solutions No Laser Beam Ensure the laser is turned on. When the laser beam is switched • ON, the red LED on the faceplate lights. If the LED on front of laser is ON but dim, the battery may be low.
