Chapter 7: Special alignment applications
This chapter deals with alignment of machines that require use of special procedures
rather than those for the standard horizontal alignment. These special applications
include:
Machine trains (groups of three machines coupled together)
Cardan drive machines
Flanged machines (mounted vertically or horizontally)
7.1 Machine train alignment
7.1.1 How to align machinery trains
The following step-by-step approach is recommended for three-machine trains.
1. Measure alignment at each coupling
2. Display results and optimize corrections (by defining ‘stationary’ machine feet)
3. Align two machines (remount laser and sensor if necessary)
4. Recheck alignment results
5. Align the two machines at the next coupling and repeat alignment check
7.1.2 Machine train set-up
Machine train set-up resembles the set-up described in section 5.7 and will therefore
be outlined here only briefly.
1. While in dimensions screen, use the navigation keys to highlight either machine
then press
q. The context menu with the menu item ‘Add last machine’
appears.
2. Use
f/g to highlight “Add last machine” and confirm selection by
pressing
e. The added machine appears on the right end of the train.
Note: To measure the
alignment condition of
three-machine trains, an
optional firmware module
is necessary. Please order
part number ALI 12.723
[3-Machine Train] to
activate this feature.
