MEASUREMENT VALUE FILTER
If the laser beam passes through air with varying

flN 2S.5 MH
temperature, this may influence the direction of
the laser beam. If measurement values fluctuate,
this could mean unstable readings. Try to reduce B
air movements between laser and detector by, tor
instance, moving heat sources, closing doors etc.
If the readings remain unstable, increase the filter
time (more samples will become available to the
statistical filter). In the Main menu, choose a filter
value between 1 and 30. Use as short a time as
possible that still produces acceptable stability

(18) MACHINE TRAIN
With the Machine train program up to ten

coupled or uncoupled machines in a row (nine
couplings) can be measured. The EasyTurn™
function is used, which allows for a complete
measurement with only 40° turn of the shafts. The
display shows live values both digitally and
graphically, which makes the alignment easy. Note!
The measuring units S, M must have built-in
inclinometers.
Feetlock
The program has Reflock function which means
that any two pairs of feet in the machine train can be
used as stationary reference, e.g. pair 1 and 1Oor 3
and 4 (see fig.). The program is also suitable for
~
measurement of two machines, e.g. a motor and a
pump. You can choose which machine you want to
use as stationary by changing references in the pro-
gram.
Compensation for thermal growth

You enter specified values (from the manufacturer
of the machines) for offset and and angular devia-
tion caused by thermal growth. The system
compensates for these and recalculates the foot
values to true adjustment values.

(19) VIBROMETER
How to make good measurements.

Place the transducer (the probe) firmly against the measurement
point. The sensitivity direction of the transducer coincides with the
centre axis of the transducer. The main purpose is to make the
complete transducer to fully participate in the motion of the meas-
urement point. Try to hold the probe as vertical, horizontal or axial
as possible, even if the machine surface does not have these
directions.
Note! When using the magnet or the measuring tip the bearing
condition value can be substantially changed. Use the M6 stud on
the transducer for high frequency measurements, and mount the
probe directly to the machine.
When the transducer is mounted with the magnet the frequency

range of the measurement is reduced to about 2000 to 3000Hz
depending on the flatness of the measuring surface.
When the measuring tip is used the frequency range is reduced to
about 800 to 1500Hz.
Vibrations at high frequencies can sometimes cause measurement
problems. Pressing the transducer mora firmly should not change
the reading. If in doubt, always try to adjust the contact point first.
Secondly, if shown to be necessary, mount the transducer with the
M6stud.
All normal measurements on vertical or horizontal machinery

should follow the three perpendicular axis of true vertical, horizon-
tal and axial directions. The reason is that you should keep to the
main stiffness directions caused by normal non symmetrical proper-
ties of the foundation, piping, supports etc. It will result in better Placing the measuring points. The measurements
should be made as close as possible to the bearing
understanding if the basic measurements are made in this way.

(19) VIBROMETER: vibration level
Recommended vibration levels in mm/s and common findings.

This simplified list can be used, as a first consideration, when you approach a machine newly commis-
sioned or after some time in operation. Take as a good housekeeping rule to investigate the reason for
any machine that vibrates above 3 mm/s [0.12 inch/s] RMS. Do not leave them above 7mm/s [0.27 inch/s]
without being assured that they will sustain long term operation without increased wear.
0-3 mm/s
Small vibrations. None or very small bearing wear. Rather low noise level.
O- 0.12inch/s
Noticeable vibration levels often concentrated to some specific part as well as di-
rection of the machine. Noticeable bearing wear. Seal problems occur in pumps

other operating variables.
Large vibrations. Bearings running hot. Bearing wear-out cause frequent

7-18 mm/s replacements. Seals wear out, leakage of all kinds evident. Cracks in weldings and

vibration arises. This noise and vibration are in-
creased if the bearing is poorly lubricated, over-
loaded due to misalignment or has a damaged
surface.
Because this is a wide-band noise and vibration it
is possible to select any frequency or frequency
band as a measurement of bearing condition.
If the selected frequency band includes low fre-
quencies the bearing condition value would also
include vibrations from unbalances, misalign-
ment, etc., and not purely from bearing vibrations
and would therefor be difficult to interpret.
If the selected frequency band only includes very
high frequency noise and vibrations we would
need special vibration transducers that are very
rigidly and closely mounted to the bearing be-
cause the machine structure works as a mechani-
cal filter for high frequencies.
High bearing condition values can appear at gear

The bearing condition value is RMS value of all high frequency vibrations in the range of 3.200 Hz to

(21) SPINDLE
For spindle alignment you can use the 0146,

the 022 or S-unit as transmitter mounted in the
spindle. The detector is placed at the part of the
machine that can be moved along the working
area of the machine. It can be a 05 detector or a
M-unit.
Procedure: mount the laser in the spindle and the
detector on a magnet base, start the Spindle
program, enter the distances between first and
second position, if neccessary rough align the
laser, start the measurement.
Laser 0146 can be used during rotating spindle

measurement. This eliminates eventual static
hang down of the spindle. You run the machine at
500-2000 rpm. When the Spindle program
prompts you, record value 1 and 2 at each
question. Then move the detector to pos. 2 and
register measurement values 3 and 4.
NOTE! It is only the 0146 that can be used to

measure during rotation.

(27) PARALLELISM
ParallelismPlus(38), page C82
Parallelism program. For the measurement of
parallelism between e.g. rolls. The program uses
the 90° deviation in the angular prism 046 to
create a number of parallel laser beams. Up to 150
rolls or other objects can be handled by the
program. The result is displayed graphically with
the angular value for an eventual deviation from
parallelity. Any object or the base line can be
selected as the reference afterwards.
The most common setup for parallelism
measurement is laser 022 and prism 046 mounted
on tripods, detector 05 on magnet base or sliding
bracket. Large target base line may also be used.
Example of a parallelism measurement :

1. Level the vertical swivel of the laser according to the vial.
2. Rough align the vertical turning according to the vial on the laser head.
3. Aim the laser perpendicular to the measurement objects (e.g. rolls). If the line made out by
the laser beam is to be the reference, you now fine adjust to the detector on the machine sides.
4. Place the Angular prism 046 with free sight to both two positions of the detector on the roll to
be measured. Calibrate the prism according to its instructions (see page "046" in chapter A).
5. Adjust the beam on to the detector at one end of the roll and record the first value.
6. Move the detector to the other end, adjust the beam and record the second value.
7. Move the Angular prism to the next roll, calibrate and then record according to step 5 and 6.
NOTE! Measurement shall only be done with the detector levelled according to its vials, or
according to the angular value on the display, supported by the electronic inclinometers.

(28) FLANGE
The Flange program is used for flatness measurement of circular

planes such as slewing bearings and flanges. The laser is placed at
or near the measurement object and levelled within 0.1 mm [4 mils] to
three points evenly placed on the circle. The program can measure
up to 300 points, measurements can be taken on the inner and/or the
outer circle. (When measuring inner and outer circles always begin
with the inner circle position at each measurement point, then continue
with the outer position, then go on with next point/inner position etc. In
the display unit all points are registered as being on one and the same
curve, but two circles can be displyed in the Easylink™ program by
adding// ("doubleslash") before the name of the measurement when
saving in the display unit. Mark all the measurement points before the 2 1
measurement. Always measure clockwise. After completed
measurement you can recalculate the measurement values so that
three of them are zeroed as the reference. The program calculates
these three points with 120° split.
Use laser 022 with 05 detector, or laser 023 with 06 detector. Record point 9: R 1.2

INTRODUCTION SHEAVE ALIGNMENT
Errors for belt transmissions

The two sheaves/shafts are not parallel ................................ Unparallelity (A)
The two sheaves are parallel but not in line ........................... Parallel offset (8)
The machines are neither parallel or in line ........................... Unparallelity (C)
Causes:
Abnormal wear on sheaves, belts, sealings and bearings.
Decreased efficiency.
Increased vibration and noise.
(A) (B) (C)
Check before alignment:
Check the sheaves for radial runout. Uncentered sheaves or bent shafts will
make it impossible to perform an accurate alignment.
Check the sheaves for axial runout. If possible, adjust with

the mounting screws of the bushings.
Check that the machine is resting evenly on the feet Softfoot

(e.g no softfoo~.
Recommendations for alignment:

When the right belt tension is achieved, the shafts, and maybe the foundation,
will be bent a little. When you start the machine the shafts will straighten again.
Negative alignment
Therefore it is recommended that the sheaves/shafts point a little bit negative (much exaggerated)
(see picture to the right).

2. Rough align the vertical turning according to the vial on the laser head.
3. Aim the laser perpendicular to the measurement objects (e.g. rolls). If the line made out by
the laser beam is to be the reference, you now fine adjust to the detector on the machine sides.
4. Place the Angular prism 046 with free sight to both two positions of the detector on the roll to
be measured. Calibrate the prism according to its instructions (see page "046" in chapter A).
5. Adjust the beam on to the detector at one end of the roll and record the first value.
6. Move the detector to the other end, adjust the beam and record the second value.
7. Move the Angular prism to the next roll, calibrate and then record according to step 5 and 6.

When a very high accuracy is wanted when measuring

for the laser transmitter (022 according to technical specifications

indexed 180°. The picture to the right shows the principle.
The method is suitable for measurement of straightness compared
to two points on a reference plane, or for measuring plumb where
we use the vials on the laser transmitter as reference.

used). The S-unit is used as reference
transmitter and the M-unit as detector.
Follow the instructions below.
1 2
1. Mount the S- and M-unit on magnet bases.

2. Adjust the laser beam from the S-unit visually to hit detector centre on the M-
unit, placed on the measurement position furthest away. (The beam from the M-
unit is not used.) Then the beam will be parallel to the measurement object.
3. Decide the number of measurement points and the distance between them.
4. Start the Straightness program and follow the instructions on the display.
5. Move the M-unit to the measurement points and register the values according
to instructions on the display.
6. After the fast measurement point, choose zero points in the program. Read
the values and decide the straightness of the measured object. If you wish,
make a printout of the graph and table on the display.

POINTING DIRECTION
Measuring pointing direction in an arbor or milling

machine can be done with the table as reference or the
movement of the table as reference. By doing this we are
able to see if the table is parallel to the machine bed.
The measurement in Fig. 1 shows the pointing direction of

the spindle relative to two points at the table. When
measuring the pointing direction of the spindle relative to
the machine bed/movement {Fig. 2), let us say we get a
different measurement value. The difference between these
two values is the deviation from parallelity for the table and
the movement.

FACTS ABOUT PSD DETECTOR
PSD is short for Position Sensitive Device. The

PSD detector consists of a light-sensitive silicon
wafer. For comparision the PSD can be called an
analogue component, with theoretically unlimited
resolution, on the contrary to a CCD detector
(camera device), which is digital and with a
resolution limited by the design.
When the laserbeam hits the PSD, an electric
current flows through the point hit by the beam.
The electric currents at the two electrodes are
proportional to the position of the beam. This
makes it possible to determine the position of the
beam center. The resolution possible is, quite
literally, one in a million.
Easy-Laser® measurement systems uses a

visible red laser beam as a measurement
reference. The laser beam is directed to the PSD

THERMAL GRADIENTS
Thermal gradients
···~
You can easily see the effects of thermal gradients
when the air is moving above the asphalt a hot
summer day. It is then not possible to focus what
is on the other side of this area. If the laserbeam
passes through air with varying temperature, that
may influence the direction of the laserbeam in Thermal gradients
the same way. During continous measurement
this could mean unstable readings. Try to reduce
air movements between laser and detector by, for
instance, moving heat sources, closing doors etc.
If the readings remain unstable, you can use the
measurement value filter feature in the Easy-
Laser® systems.
Always ensure a good

measurement environment.
When you look down into the water, the light reflected
from what you see at the bottom will deflect similar to the
light from a laser when it breaks through two media, or
two different temperatures of the same medium.

CONDITIONS FOR SHAFT ALIGNMENT
The conditions for a good alignment

Before you start the alignment you have to know
how the machines will react in normal working
conditions. To align machines that are in bad shape,
or will move from their position just a short moment
after starting them is a waste of effort.
New machines
Make a rough alignment, followed by a more
accurate alignment when the installation is finished.
Before alignment, check how the machine is
working. Check the mounting bolts, coupling, Misaligned shafts will always cause strains and
vibrations, temperature, pipes and other stresses in bearings, shafts, couplings and the

Machine foundations (new installation)

Check that the foundations of both the machines
are stable and flat, and that the concrete foundation
has hardened before placing the machines. Observe
that the feet of the machines should not rest directly
on to the foundation, instead you should use shims .
Clean the machine feet from dirt and rust. In addi-
tion the stationary machine should be shimmed a
little bit higher than the moveable one before
alignment.
To begin with, place approximately 2 mm of shims

SHAFT ALIGNMENT METHODS
Alignment methods
Rim and face method
Two dial indicators mounted on a fixture indicate
the offset (rim) and angular error (face) of the
coupling. The readings are taken when the shafts
are turned 180° between positions 6-12-9 - 3.
Rim and face method.
Reversed indicator method
Two dial indicators, mounted on each half of the
coupling shows the offset and angular error.
Measurement values are read when the shafts are
turned 180° between the measurement positions
6 - 12 - 9 - 3. One of the dials indicates the offset,
and the difference between the dials gives the
angular error.
Laser method Reversed indicator method.

Works with the reversed method where, instead of
dial indicators, two laser transmitters/detectors
mounted on each part of the shaft/coupling are
used. The measurement values are read when the
shafts are turned to measurement positions 9 - 12 -
3, or with the program EasyTurn™ to three
arbitrary positions with as little as 20° between the
positions. The display unit calculates the offset
and angular error, and also the position of front
and rear feet pair. All values are displayed "live". Laser method

STRAIGHTNESS - REFERENCE POINTS
Example of a straightness measurement

Taking a girder as example, we place our "zero points" {the gauge blocks
under the straight edge) at different positions. The straight edge will now
act as the reference line to which the other measurement values will refer.
The measurement values are assumed according to example {A).
NOTE! The measurement values have been compensated for the
thickness of the gauge blocks {represented in the picture by the thin line).
If we then move the zero points {examples Band C), the measurement
values will also change, corresponding to the reference line. In the same
way as for the straight edge, the measurement values will change for an
object measured with a laser system when the reference points are
moved.

TOLERANCES FOR SHAFT ALIGNMENT
The rotation speed of the shafts will decide the

demands on the alignment. The table on this side can be
used as a guidance if no other tolerances is
recommended by the manufacturer of the machines.
The tolerances are set to the maximum allowed devia-
tion from accurate values, with no consideration of
whether that value should be zero or compensated for
thermal growth.
