Page 5: Introduction
The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 user interface is entirely built upon signs and icons, no text. In most cases the icons are clear and do not cause any misunderstanding, but to your convenience you will find an icon index in the end of this manual.
Page 6: The Method
HAFT HOW IT WORKS The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 is based upon the principle of a reverse indicator alignment system. Instead of steel bars with dials it uses two laser beams. Unlike steel bars the laser beams do not have the disadvantage of sagging and this contributes to the system’s high degree of accuracy.

Page 8: The Touch Screen Interface
OUCH CREEN NTERFACE A touch screen is, as it says, touch sensible. A light touch of your fingertip on the displayed icon activates the icon’s function. We have found that a clean display with just the necessary information, and with symbols in stead of text, makes it much easier to understand, and reduces the input errors from the user to a minimum.

Page 16: Fixture Attachment & Cable Connection
& C IXTURE TTACHMENT ABLE ONNECTION Attach the V-block fixtures on the shafts of the measurement object, one on each side of the coupling. Tighten the tension screws firmly, always using the supplied tool. Do not overtighten. Mount the rods to the fixture and tighten firmly. Attach the TD-units on the fixtures. The TD-M should be mounted on the moveable machine and the TD-S on the station- ary machine.
Page 17 The optional extension fixtures are used together with either the V-block fixtures or the magnet bases. If the space between the machine casing and the coupling/shaft end is too short for a standard set-up this fixture solves the problem. IXTURLASER HAFT...

Page 23: Pre -Alignment Functions
The Thermal offset program provides the possibility to pre-set known compensa- tion values for thermal growth. Values required are normally to find in the machine specifications. The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 accepts foot values, dial values or angular-/parallel error values. IXTURLASER...
Page 24: Thermal Offset
In the Fixturlaser Shaft 100 you can pre-set these values from the shaft alignment program before starting your alignment work. Accepted values are feet values, clock values and parallel offset/angular error.
Page 25 Feet values 3A Touch the feet icon where you want to compensate. 4A Touch the foot value icons . Enter the distances required and the foot values in mm or mils according to the pre-set unit. You can change the entered values by touching the foot value icons.
Page 26: Softcheck
It is more or less impossible to establish if there is a soft foot condition without using some kind of measurement tool. The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 built-in Softcheck program checks each foot and displays the result in mm or mils.
Page 27 Loosen the bolt fully and then tighten it firmly. Preferable with a dynamo- metric wrench. The measurement value is registered by touching OK. Continue with the rest of the bolts. Re-measurements can be done at any time. Do the necessary corrections and then check each foot again. Exit by touching the Exit icon .
Page 28: Shaft Alignment
HAFT LIGNMENT NTRODUCTION Shaft alignment - correction of the relative position of two machines that are con- nected, such as a motor and a pump, so that the centre lines of the shafts form a straight line when the machines are working at normal operating temperature. Shaft alignment means moving the front and the rear pair of feet of one machine, verti- cally and horizontally, until the shafts are aligned to within given tolerances.
Page 29: Alignment
HAFT LIGNMENT ORIZONTAL ACHINES PPLICATION Here you can do the following settings valid for this specific program: Displayed measurement value resolution: 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 mm / 10, 1, 0.1 mils.

Page 31 Rotate the shafts to the 12 o’clock position, using the inclinometer display with the graphic spirit level. The led on the TD-M unit turns from flashing green to alternate red and green when within ±3° of correct position. The targets should be slid over the detectors. Adjust the lasers to the centre of both targets using the blue adjustment screws.
Page 32 Rotate the TD-units to the 9 o’clock position. Slide open the targets, wait until the TD-values appear, and press the 9 o’clock icon . Using the inclinometer display, rotate the shafts to the 3 o’clock position and press the 3 o’clock icon . The screen now displays the current horizontal position of the machine.
Page 33 Rotate the shafts to the 12 o’clock position and press the 12 o’clock icon . The screen now displays the current vertical position. Adjust the machine vertically until the values for both parallel and angular alignment are within tolerances required. Rotate the shafts to the 3 o’clock position and adjust the machine horizon- tally until the required alignment is achieved.
Page 34 Rotate the shafts back to the 12 o’clock position, press the 12 o’clock icon and check that the machine lies within the required tolerances. Measurement and adjustment are now completed. To confirm the result, redo the measurement. The result can be printed out by touching the Print icon, or saved for later print-out or transfer to PC’s by touching the File Drawer icon .

Page 45 Position yourself where it is easiest to turn the shafts through 180°. This position ideally should correspond to a 6 o’clock position. The first bolt is at the position 9 o’clock. Turn the shafts to where the TD units are positioned at 9 o’clock and touch the corresponding icon.
Page 46 Turn the shafts 180° to the 3 o’clock position. Touch the corresponding icon to register the reading. The displayed values show the current position of the machine in the 9 to 3 o’clock axis. IXTURLASER HAFT...
Page 47 Rotate the shaft to the 12 o’clock position and touch the 12 o’clock icon . The values displayed are the alignment in the 12 to 6 o’clock axis. The list of values displayed is the position values for each bolt. These correspond to the shim thickness that should be placed under each bolt to eliminate the angular error.
Page 48 Start with correction of the angular error by adding shims where required. To adjust the machine in the 6 to 12 o’clock direction, rotate the shafts to the 12 o’clock position and touch the corresponding icon. Use the parallel- ism display to correct the error. To adjust the machine in the 3 to 9 o’clock direction, rotate the shaft to the 3 o’clock position and touch the corresponding icon.
