Practical examples of thermal growth entries
Thermal growth for stationary machine
If one of the machines cannot be moved during alignment, yet
exhibits thermal growth, the following procedure is used:
The stationary machine is first defined under the ROTALIGN menu
item "Machine type" to be a "normal 4-foot machine." The machine
dimensions of foot separation and distance from front foot to receiver
must then be entered into the dimension screen.
The menu item "static feet" is used next to designate the front and
rear feet of the stationary machine as immovable.
Expected thermal growth values for the stationary machine feet are
then entered as usual (see bottom of previous page).
The computer calculates the alignment corrections such that only the
moveable machine is adjusted to compensate for all thermal growth
entries, including those made for the stationary machine.
