Horizontal flanged machines
Flange-mounted horizontal machines
When machines are joined by means of flange, their alignment is determined by inserting the
proper combination of shims at the flange bolts and, depending on the flange type, between
the faces of the flanges. The requirements are similar to those for aligning vertical machines.
When the shaft rotates around a horizontal axis, the electronic inclinometer detects the rota-
tional position during measurement, which may be taken in any desired measurement mode.
Based on the measurements taken, the touch device determines the thicknesses of shims to
be fitted between the flanges required to align the shafts.

Shown here are the shimming locations for a two-bolt flange, a special case of the normal cir-
cular flange shape.
Set-up
l Mount the laser and the sensor as required (horizontally).
l Switch the touch device on, then tap the 'Vertical alignment' icon in the home screen.
l Proceed to configure the machines as described in "Vertical flanged machines" on
page106.
