7.1 Basic and Advanced Laser Alignment
Application overview
The CSI 2140 Basic and Advanced Laser Alignment Applications enable you to perform
horizontal machine alignment. In addition, the Advanced Laser Alignment Application
adds advanced options for horizontal alignment along with new applications for vertical
machines and straightness measurements. The Basic Laser Alignment Application is similar
to the Basic mode available in the Advanced Laser Alignment Application. See Section 7.4.1
for more information on the Basic and Advanced modes. Alignment is done with the help
of the sensALIGN
®
laser and sensor (Emerson P/N A8240).
The horizontal alignment feature is used to acquire and display alignment data for
machines where the machine moves are done at the machine feet. See Section 7.5 for
more information on performing horizontal alignment.
The vertical alignment feature is used to acquire and display alignment data for machines
where the machine moves are done at the machine flange (such as C-face mounted
motors). A typical machine configuration for vertical alignment is one machine
component mounted on another and bolted together at a flange. See Section 7.6 for more
information on performing vertical alignment.
The straightness feature is used to determine surface profiles such as measuring the
levelness of a motor baseplate. The straightness feature can also be used to check the
crown of rolls used in a rolling application. See Section 7.7 for more information on
performing straightness measurements.
To use the Advanced Laser Alignment Application:
1.
Set up the laser and sensor.
a. Mount the brackets.
b. Attach the laser and sensor onto the brackets.
