4.2 Acquire alignment data
After you enter machine dimensions, the Laser Align Application
automatically advances to the next step, which is to acquire alignment data
by sweeping the laser and sensor (Sweep Heads). After completing this step,
the Sweep Heads function on the Laser Align Application main menu is
marked with an X.
Tip
For accuracy and repeatability, do the following when acquiring alignment
data:
• Acquire all readings using the same direction of rotation.
• Rotate the laser fixtures in the same direction as the machines rotate
when running.
• Use a smooth, uniform acceleration and deceleration when rotating the
laser fixtures to get accurate, reliable, and repeatable data.
Prerequisites
Ensure the laser and sensor are mounted on the machines, turned on, and
the sensor is paired with the AMS 2140.
Procedure
1.
After entering machine dimensions, press Enter.
2. If you enabled foot pre-check, then the foot pre-check screen launches
automatically. Otherwise, press F12 Foot Pre-Check to start checking for
soft foot.
Refer to the Alignment chapter of the AMS 2140 Machinery Health
Analyzer User Guide for more information on entering soft foot
information.
3. Acquire alignment data.
For Advanced alignment jobs, the steps vary depending on the alignment
method you have previously chosen. For Basic alignment jobs, Manual 4
Point is the only alignment method available.
This document only covers Auto Sweep and Manual 4 Point.
Refer to the Alignment chapter of the AMS 2140 Machinery Health
Analyzer User Guide for more information on acquiring alignment data
using the other alignment methods available in Advanced mode.
