Icon Description
This shows the alignment method used, which is
Manual Sweep for vertical alignments.
The background is green if the data quality is good,
yellow if the data quality is poor, and red if the data
quality is bad.
Data quality is the correlation factor computed from
the sine fit to the data. If the data quality is 85% or
greater, it is good. If the data quality is between
70%-85%, it is poor, and if it less than 70%, it is bad.
When a reading set is included in calculating the
average data, a checkmark is displayed next to the
reading.
The angular and offset averaged alignment values.
The background is green if the offset or angle is
within acceptable tolerance values yellow if the
offset or angle is 1 to 2 times the acceptable
tolerance, and red if the offset or angle is greater
than 2 times the acceptable tolerance.
Optionally, you can select from the following:
a.
Press F2 Repeat Reading to repeat the reading. A selected entry is highlighted.
b. Press F4 Select/Unselect to select or unselect a reading. A selected reading is
denoted by a checkmark.
Selected readings are averaged together to calculate the values shown in
Averaged Results displayed at the bottom of the analyzer screen.
c. Press F6 Delete Reading to delete a selected reading.
d. Press F8 Data Detail to display the tolerance plots. See Section 7.8.1 for more
information on the tolerance plots associated with the highlighted reading.
e. Press the up or down Reading keys to scroll through the list of readings one at a
time.
7.6.6 Align the machine - vertical alignment
After you acquire alignment data, the Laser Align Application automatically advances to
the next step, which is to make adjustments on the machines to align them (Move
Machine), if necessary. After completing this step, the Move Machine function on the Laser
Align Application main menu is marked with an X.
Procedure
1. After acquiring alignment data, press Enter.
2. Review the angular alignment condition of the machine. Loosen the flange bolts and
add or remove shims to angularly align the machine. Use the table displayed on the
analyzer as a guide.
