The shimming mode to be applied is set using the “Flange corrections” screen context
menu item ‘Change correction format’. The currently applied shimming mode appears
on the header of the “Flange corrections screen.
The following options are available:
Bolt correction (+) – means all shimming corrections are positive (add shims)
Bolt correction (-) – means all shimming corrections are negative (remove shims)
Bolt correction (+) – means all shimming corrections are minimized (optimized).
Therefore half of the corrections will be negative and half of them positive. This
option results in zero axial movement of the shaft.
