Introduction:
This guide outlines a quick and easy 3-step
method for precision shaft alignment.
Set-up:
Choose the shortest support posts that will still
allow the laser beam to pass over or through the
coupling. Mount the laser xtures by sliding each
head over the support posts and locking them
into place with the yellow clamping levers.
Mount laser heads as shown above, being careful
to mount the laser on the stationary machine.
Sweep Size:
The “Auto Sweep” method provides a simple,
accurate solution for any alignment task. Start
anywhere. Stop anywhere. While it is always best
to completely rotate the shaft, this method can
be used effectively with partial sweeps down to
45°. Press [ENTER] to retrieve data via Bluetooth.
45°
Operating Notes:
Laser fixtures are for shaft alignment only and
should be operated by properly trained personnel.
As precision instruments, care should be taken to
not subject them to shock.
Laser Safety:
Do not stare directly into the laser beam!
[NOTE: Red LED on Laser Head indicates that
laser is active.]
Do not insert optical
devices into beam.

Optional: Foot Pre-Check
To check foot condition, press [F12] before
sweeping laser fixtures and follow on-screen
instructions. Use a feeler gauge to determine
required shim correction. The Soft Foot option
provides you with a sense of severity without
showing numbers. The FDI option will provide an
estimate of the required shim.
Bluetooth Set- Up
