Vertical flanged machines
A typical vertical machine arrangement comprises one machine mounted on top of the other
with a bolted flange.
Flange-mounted machines may have a vertical or horizontal orientation. In either case, align-
ment corrections are made directly at the flange.
Insert or remove shims between the flanges to correct angularity. The rugged device cal-
culates shim thickness for each flange bolt.
Position the flange laterally to positioning the flange laterally to correct offset.

(1) Sensor

(2) Reflector (prism)
The sensor and reflector are mounted on either side of the coupling, in the same way as for
horizontal machines. The sensor is mounted on the shaft of the bottom machine, and the
reflector on the shaft of the upper machine. As the electronic inclinometer cannot directly
determine the rotation angle of vertical shafts, the measurement mode for vertical machines is
Static Clock.
Mark measurement positions
For Static Clock measurement mode, the eight 45° measurement positions used with these
procedures must be marked correctly on the machine.
