2.4 Misalignment Parameters
Misalignment of any rotating machine is expressed in parallel (Offset) and angular (Gap) of the
shafts. Most frequently in practice, both of them are present simultaneously. Different kinds of
misalignment of axes are shown in Fig. 2.

Parallel misalignment of axes Offset (displacement)

Angular misalignment of axes Gap

Parallel and angular misalignment of axes (Offset + Gap)

Fig 2

The parallel (Offset) and angular (Gap) misalignment of axes is determined in two mutually
perpendicular planes. For the purpose of elimination of the parallel and angular misalignment
of axes, in each of the planes a correction of position of the movable machine (M) will be done.
For the horizontal mounted machine the movable machine (M) position is adjusted in the
horizontal and vertical planes.
For the vertical mounted machine, operator determines arrangement of the correction planes,
basing on considerations of the convenience and technological effectiveness of moving of the
movable (M) machine.
Stationary machine (S) - in the process of eliminating of the axes misalignment the position of
this machine stay static, i.e. it does not move.
Movable machine (M) the machine, which position is adjusted for eliminating of the parallel
and angular misalignment of axes.
The measurement system calculates the values of the angular and parallel misalignment of
axes in the plane of the coupling (in two mutually perpendicular planes), and the adjustment
values for the machine feet on the movable (M) machine, that is necessary for elimination of
this misalignment of axes. Fig. 3 shows misalignment of axes and the values for its correction
just for vertical plane.

While making the measurement, it is may be necessary to observe and understand the
orientation and rotation direction of the shafts with the (S) and (M) measuring transducer units
with regard to the relative position of the (S) and (M) machines as in Fig.4.

Fig 4.

Fig. 4 shows the view of (S) machine from the (M) end view, at the 12:00 oclock position. The
measuring transducer units have marking (S) and (M) on the top of each unit, should be
mounted with brackets onto the shafts of the (S) stationary and (M) movable machine
respectively.

3.1 Input Measurement Data

AVV-701 system function is based on the measurement of the laser beam movement on the
detector receivers window during the turning of shafts with the measuring units mounted.
To enable the System to carry out the shaft alignment calculation, it is necessary to record the
measurement data in at least three positions of the shafts rotation. Turning the shafts in the
range of 180 is sufficient, but for the best results turn as wide as possible recommended.
If design features of the machines do not make it possible to carry out rotation of the shafts
with the measuring units mounted up to 180, the instrument also provides smaller shaft
rotation angle measurement mode that allows possibility to enter the measuring data when the
shafts rotation angle constitutes as low as 60, note turn as wide as possible always
recommended. Systems advanced multipoint mode allows shafts rotation in any direction and
up to 36 points.

3.2 Set-up the Device

Before the beginning of the work, check the battery voltage and charge it if necessary.
Battery voltage is indicated on the display of the device in the main menu.
The device is automatically turned off when the voltage is lower than 4.6 V.
Check and clean if necessary the surface of detectors and aperture of laser.
Use soft tampons, moistened with alcohol, for the cleaning. Solvents must not be used!
Check and setup if necessary, date and time of the system clock.

3.3 Connecting the Measuring Units

There are two connectors in the Control Display unit and each Measuring transducer units.
Connection to the Control Display unit is arbitrary, i.e. the units can be connected either in
parallel or in series (Fig. 5) with any of the two cables contained in the set, to any of the
connectors in the Control Display unit and the Measuring transducer units.

Connecting the measuring units in parallel

3.4 Input of Dimension

To enable the AVV-701 to carry out accurate calculations it is necessary to input the distances
between the measuring transducer units, the coupling and the machine feet.

KOHTECT(c) 2013 10
Fig. 6 shows the dimensions input for the horizontal plane alignment.
Fig. 7 shows the dimensions input for the alignment of vertical flange mount machine.

S-M distance between measuring transducer units.

S-C distance between S and center of coupling.
S-F1 distance between stationary detector (S) and the feet pair 1 (F1).
S-F2 distance between S and F2 (must be longer than S-F1). If the machine has three
pairs of feet, you can change this distance after finished measurement, and then
repeat the calculation and get a new adjustment value for this pair.

3.5 Rough Alignment Procedure

Rough alignment should be applied only when the alignment is extremely poor, the laser
beams may travel outside the detectors during rotation of the shafts with the Measuring units
mounted. If this happen it is necessary to do a rough alignment first.

Rough alignment procedure (variant 1), (Fig. 8):

Turn shafts with measuring units to the 9 oclock position. Aim the laser beams at the centre
of the closed detectors.
Turn shafts with measuring units to the 3 oclock position.
Check where the laser hits, then using the laser adjustment screws, adjust the beam half
the travel in direction to the centre of the target (Fig. 8).
Adjust the movable machine so that the laser beam hits the centers of both the targets, (S)
and (M).
Follow the regular procedure to continue.

KOHTECT(c) 2013 12
 Fig 8.

Rough alignment procedure (Variant 2):

Turn the shafts with measuring units to the 9 oclock. Apply the targets in the view of scaled
paper sized 50 x 50 mm to the detector surface. Aim the laser beams at the centre of these
targets.
Switch the display unit into the mode of manual data input.
Turn the shafts with measuring units to the 12 oclock position and enter the values of laser
beam at the 12 oclock position, then turn the shafts to the 3 oclock and enter the values of
laser beams at the target marking.
The system will calculate roughly the offset value and adjustment value for movable
machine (M).
Adjust the movable machine according to the results of calculations.
Follow the regular procedure to continue.
While entering manually the values of the position of laser beam at the target, take into account
the sign (Fig. 9)

Thermal growth

Most machines develop a certain amount of heat while running. In the best
case both the driving and the driven machine are affected equally requiring
no input of compensation values. But in several applications the driven
machine is either hotter, i.e. a pump for hot liquid, or cooler than the driving
machine. The machine manufacturers define the thermal growth of the
machines differently, but in most cases you will find it as a factor of
deliberately misalignment expressed in parallel offset and angular error

4.9 Straightness Program

Press to resume saved task, or press to start new task.

Straightness measurement
The laser alignment system use visible laser beam to measure the straightness of linear
objects. The laser transmitter (transducer that emits laser beam) is mounted at one end of the
object and then aimed in the receiver. Both the transmitter and the receiver are adjusted to
ensure receiver detects the laser. The receiver is moved along the object, and any changes of
the laser beam position in the receiver gives a measure of straightness. The laser beam is not
intended to be the absolute reference. The setup should be such that the laser beam always
strikes the detector throughout the entire length being measured.

Setup parameters

The setup parameters screen is the main screen of straightness program.

Press to switch between manual entered data and data collected from detector

Laser beam adjustment principle

Before measurement can begin the laser must be positioned such that the beam strikes the
approximate center of the receivers detector over the entire measurement path(whole splice or
whole object).

Adjustment procedure

Place the receiver at the closest(to transmitter) measurement position. Adjust beam position to
center the beam onto the detector. With the receiver at the far end of the measurement path,
adjust the horizontal and vertical angle of the beam to center onto the detector. Repeat above
steps as necessary until the beam remains centered on the detector in both the near and far
positions.

Splice concept

Splices in straightness are partial overlapped parts of whole length of measured object.
Measurement divides by splices for the extension of the total length that can be measured,
where object length exceeds maximum allowed distance between transducers.

To start new task with splices

Press
Enter number of points and then define first splice(enter number 1 for Splice);
You should do it before starting measurement

KOHTECT(c) 2013 46
After you store measurements for all the points belonging to the current splice, you can switch
to the next splice.
To do it: while first point of next splice selected press to return to the straightness main
screen and increase splice number by one. If splice number is not 1 you should define number
of overlapped points too. Number of overlapped points should not be less than 2. To input

overlapped points number press then enter value, confirm by

You should sequentially increase splice numbers, gaps between numbers not allowed.

Step by step instruction to start measure new splice

Enter to collect data screen. Use for select(if required) the first point of new
splice(in example this is a point 6). Move receiver to its position(regards to currently selected
point; in example this is a point 6, note its distance on object is equal to point 4 distance).
Remember X,Y values, let me label them as V6). Move transmitter from its current position
to position, where point of last splice point minus overlapped points number minus 1 located.
In example this is a place of point 3. Do not touch receiver! Adjust transmitter so that X,Y
values on receiver became almost equal to the X,Y values indicated before the transmitter has
been moved. Move receiver to the closest overlapped point to the transmitter point(exact
position) (in example this is a point 6, note its distance on object is equal to point 4 distance).
Fine tune transmitters position, so that receivers X,Y values became almost equal to
receivers X,Y values that we previously labeled as V6. Repeat adjustment procedure if
needed. Move receiver to the closest overlapped point at the exactly point position (in
example point 6, note its physical place on object is equal to point 4 physical place, but point
number 6 should be selected on the screen). Store measurement data. Then move receiver to
the next overlapped point at the exactly point position (in example point 7, note its distance on
object is equal to point 5 distance, but point number 7 should be selected on the screen). Store
measurement data. Repeat measurements for the all overlapped points. Then continuously

KOHTECT(c) 2013 47
perform measurements for non-overlapped points of the current splice (in example there are
points 8-9).
About to how close should be values for the overlapped point pairs.
In example there are two point pairs 4-6 and 5-7, so how close should be X and Y values within
the pair. The answer is: as close as possible, but complete equality does not required.
AVV-701 system will automatically calculate and apply correction values for each splice, but
care should be taken on values difference, because if difference too big the beam can move
out of the target during measurement.

The Live move mode

After all measurements has been carried and results calculated, it may be necessary to make
corrections in the live move mode. The devices live mode make it possible to monitor these
corrections.
Before switch to the live mode reference points or best fit result mode should be selected.
If you move transmitter from its last position, two point adjustment procedure should be
performed(see adjustment procedure).
Place receiver at point where you intend to make corrections. Press to enter live mode.
