INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of Fixturlaser Shaft 100. We hope that this system
will be your favourite tool from now on. This manual will take you through the
different procedures. Since the system is built for easiest possible use, you will not
need to read the entire manual but please take a look at the pages concerning
handling and care before you get started with your first alignment. The Fixturlaser
Shaft 100 user interface is entirely built upon signs and icons, no text. In most cases
the icons are clear and do not cause any misunderstanding, but to your convenience
you will find an icon index in the end of this manual.
This manual describes the system and it’s functions. It is not an alignment handbook
sorting out the different problems you might run into when you perform an align-
ment. But it will help you with the basic procedures for each of the programs pro-
vided with the system.

THE METHOD
FIXTURLASER SHAFT 100, HOW IT WORKS
The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 is based upon the principle of a reverse indicator alignment
system. Instead of steel bars with dials it uses two laser beams. Unlike steel bars the
laser beams do not have the disadvantage of sagging and this contributes to the
system’s high degree of accuracy.
The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 also has two measurement systems but in this case these
are electronic targets rather than mechanical dial indicators. These are built in
together with the laser transmitter in a pair of units, theTransmitter/Detector units
(TD-units).
With standard dial measurement techniques the results need to be graphed out
manually and calculations are needed to establish the corrections required. With the
Fixturlaser Shaft 100 all this is done automatically. Real time alignment values are
displayed as the machine is moved. You can see the effect of tightening a bolt as
soon as it happens.
The Fixturlaser Shaft 100 is equipped with a permanent memory where you can store
measurement results for later printout or transfer to computers for further processing.

THE TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE
A touch screen is, as it says, touch sensible. A light touch of your fingertip on the
displayed icon activates the icon’s function. We have found that a clean display
with just the necessary information, and with symbols in stead of text, makes it
much easier to understand, and reduces the input errors from the user to a minimum.
The user interface is based upon icons and fill-in boxes.The icons represent a func-
tion and activate the specific functions when touched. The fill-in boxes activate a
numerical or alphanumerical keyboard depending on the program you are in. Active
or touchable icons and fill-in boxes have a thick outline or/and a grey background.
