Best practice
Mounting sensor and laser
›› The 'Dimensions' screen shows the sides where the sensor and laser are to be mounted. If
necessary, use
, the “Camera” icon to rotate the view on the screen to allow machines be
viewed as they physically appear.
›› Mount the brackets directly on the shafts or couplings.
›› Mount sensor and laser as low as possible on the supplied support posts. The couplings must
not block the path of the laser beam.
›› Mount laser on the machine designated stationary and sensor on the machine designated
moveable.
›› Both sensor and laser must not touch one another or the machine casings during shaft rota-
tion.
Entering dimensions
›› Dimensions taken to 3 mm [+ 1/8 in.) are acceptable.
›› When entering the dimension between the front and back feet, use the distance between the
center of the two foot bolts.
Initializing sensor
›› Should “communication error” occur, tap detector area below the hint “
” then tap “Sensor list” to check whether the sensor has been detected.
Causes that may influence measurement
›› Incorrect or loose mounting of bracket frame, support posts
›› Incorrect or loose mounting of sensor and laser on the support posts
›› Loose machine anchor bolts
›› Unstable or damaged machine foundation
›› Mounted components strike machine foundation or machine casings or frame during shaft
rotation
›› Mounted components moved during shaft rotation
›› Uneven shaft rotation
›› Change in temperature within machines
›› External vibration from other rotating machines
Results and Live Move
›› V is the vertical orientation of the machines viewed from the side.
›› H is the horizontal orientation of the machines viewed from the top.
›› The foot results which are used in correcting misalignment are position values with respect
to the reference machine.
›› The bold colored foot tolerance arrows show the direction and magnitude in which to move
the machine. The color code also shows the attained alignment tolerance.
