3.8 Alignment results
3.8.1 Measured misalignment
After the second measurement at 3 o'clock has been confirmed, the misalignment of the
two machines in the measurement plane, the plane where the measuring units are
(i.e. horizontal in this case) is displayed (fig. 19).
Coupling values
The coupling value on top of the display shows
the angle between the centre lines of the
two shafts in the measurement plane (measured
in mm/100 mm or 0.001"/1").
The value below on the display shows the
parallel off-set of the two centre lines in the
measurement plane.
These two values are the coupling values in the
measurement plane.
Feet values
The values F1 and F2 on the display indicate the
relative positions of the Movable machine in the
measurement plane.
F I
The F1 value indicates the relative position of
the front pair of feet of the Movable machine.
F 2
The F2 value indicates the relative position of
the rear pair of feet of the Movable machine.
3.8.2 Vertical alignment
Adjust the measuring units to the 12 o'clock
position (fig. 20) with the aid of the spirit levels.
Observe the coupling and feet values live
adjustment.
