7.2.3 Mounting and adjusting the RS5 laser
In this step, the laser beam is adjusted such that it is roughly colinear to the rotational
axis of the laser holder assembly.
1. Slide the two black distance sleeves down the support posts.
2. Slide the RS5 laser onto the posts until it rests on the distance sleeves [

].
3. Mark a set of target crosshairs on the shaft rotation centerline of the other
machine coupling (if the flange has a center hole, a temporary target surface
may be affixed to the hole).
4. Switch on the RS5 laser and adjust the beam to strike the center of the target on
the opposite coupling:
› The objective is to adjust the laser beam such that it is roughly colinear to the
rotational axis of the laser holder assembly; this will make it possible to make
fine adjustments to the laser holder assembly’s position afterwards, without
having to realign the laser beam itself.
The distance sleeves (black) influence the offset by positioning the laser beam on
the same axis as the rotational axis of the laser holder assembly.
› The two yellow beam position thumbwheels are used to adjust the angular
position of the laser beam. By rotating the laser assembly holder, the laser
beam traces an ‘approximate’ circle. If the ‘approximate’ circle is a single dot
at the center of the target, then the laser beam has been adjusted correctly.
If that is not the case, repeat the laser beam adjustment process until the
‘approximate’ circle corresponds to a single dot position.
