6.1.1 Multipoint measurement
This mode is used to measure shafts which are either difficult to turn continuously
or allow measurement only in certain rotational positions. The method can also be
used to measure uncoupled shafts, nonrotatable shafts, sleeve bearings, white metal
bearings and journal (radial) bearings.
After centering the laser beam as described in section 5.9 ‘Laser beam adjustment’,
press
e to take the first measurement point. Rotate shafts in their normal direction
of operation from one measurement position to the next, pressing
e to take
measurement. Measurements must be taken in at least three positions over at least
70° of rotation, but more measurements over a wider angle is recommended.
After finishing measurement, press
k to display
results.
6.1.2 Static measurement
This measurement mode is used for vertical foot-mounted or flange-mounted
machines, uncoupled shafts, and nonrotatable shafts.
After centering the laser beam as described in section 5.9 ‘Laser beam adjustment’,
turn the shafts to any of the eight 45° positions (i.e. 12.00, 1.30, 3.00, 4.30, 6.00,
7.30, 9.00 or 10.30 o’clock positions viewed from coupling towards laser emitter).
Position shaft as accurately as possible using either an external inclinometer, spirit
level or protractor.
Use the navigation keys to position the clock hour hand to the corresponding shaft
position.
Note: To be able to carry
out measurements using
Multipoint measurement
mode, an optional
firmware module is
necessary. Please order
part number ALI 12.715
[Multipoint] to activate
this feature.
The measurement arc
turns from red to yellow
to green depending on
the number points taken
and the angle covered. A
yellow arc signifies that the
taken measurements are
the minimum required to
obtain results; however, it is
recommended to obtain a
green arc for even greater
accuracy and quality of
readings.
For horizontally oriented
shafts, the optional
external inclinometer
ALI 5.020 may be used.
