features of the Shaft 100 system but also includes: alignment of offset mounted equipment (Cardan=U-joint driven machinery), alignment of multiple element drive systems, can be used for measuring as well as entering OL2R movement information, two magnetic bases, and a system printer.

A bracket is attached to each shaft. The laser is attached to one of the brackets and the detector target to the other bracket. The operator then positions the laser and detector assemblies to center the beam in the detector target area. The Model S-640 system is shown in Figure 15.12. The detector target output is connected to a computer interface module (Model R-358) via a cable, which is then connected to a laptop computer via the serial communications port. An alignment software program sup- plied with the system is loaded into your laptop computer and the software prompts the user through the alignment process. The Model S-650 system is shown in Figure 15.13. The detector target output is transmitted via infrared data transmission to a receiver–computer interface module (Model A-908), which is connected to a laptop computer via the serial communications port. An alignment software program and laptop computer are supplied with the system.

The operating principle of this system is shown in Figure 15.2 where a single laser, mounted on one shaft, is aimed at a roof prism, mounted on the other shaft, which reflects the beam directly back toward its point of origin but offsets the beam a specified distance so the laser FIGURE 15.12 Model S-640.

After attaching the brackets to each shaft, the operator installs the laser–detector head onto one of the brackets and the roof prism onto the other bracket. Using the display and keypad, the operator enters information about the drive system being aligned and once the laser beam starts operating, the operator adjusts the position of the roof prism to center the returning laser beam onto the photodiode target. The operator then proceeds through the instructions prompted via the display and keypad to capture the shaft positions. The first Optalign system incorporated an infrared laser (not visible to the naked eye) but as visible lasers became available, they were incorporated into subsequent models. The Pocketalign system is shown in Figure 15.14. This system utilizes a personal digital assistant (PDA) for the operator and keypad. The PDA operating system requires Microsoft Mobile 2003 and a CF II interface card is required. It uses the same laser–detector head as the Smartalign system. The PDA can be purchased through the manufacturer or you can buy your own. Communication cabling is provided to transfer files from the PDA to a personal computer for file archiving. Continuous sweep measurement mode software can be purchased separately. The Optalign Plus system as shown in Figure 15.15, now in its fourth generation, has been the workhorse of their product line. The operational software is imbedded into the laser– detector sensor assembly, not the operator keypad and display. It is offered in two basic configurations, the ‘‘Entry Level’’ model and the ‘‘All Features’’ model. This system is also fully configurable with the exact features and functions the user desires, ‘‘a ` la carte.’’ Intrinsically safe models are also available. The system comes with the laser–detector trans- ducer, the prism, an operator keypad and display, a 6 ft (2 m) cable, brackets for clamping onto shafts up to 8.5 in. in diameter, posts (200 and 600 mm) for attaching the laser–detector and prism to the brackets, a computer cable and adapter, tape measure, manual, cleaning cloth, protective covers, and a carrying case. Optional firmware can be purchased which can FIGURE 15.14 Pocketalign system. (Courtesy of Pru ¨ ftechnik, Ismaning, Germany. With permission.)

The laser–detector transducer visually looks the same as the Optalign Plus where the operational software is actually imbedded in the transducer. In the case of the Smartalign system, the operational software is actually imbedded in the operator keypad and display. The system comes with: the laser–detector transducer, the prism, an operator keypad–display, a 6 ft (2 m) cable, brackets for clamping onto shaft up to 8.5 in. in diameter, 20 different posts of various lengths for attaching the laser–detector and prism to the brackets, ‘‘smartREADER 1 ’’ software, a computer cable and adapter, tape measure, manual, cleaning cloth, protective covers, and a carrying case. Smartalign system cost: $14800.00 The Rotalign Pro system is a more advanced system than the systems described above and is shown in Figure 15.17. The system comes with an alignment computer, a laser sender, a receiver, a 6 ft (2 m) cable, brackets for clamping onto shaft up to 8.5 in. in diameter, FIGURE 15.15 Optalign Plus system.

The basic software of this multifunction device enables one to align horizontally or vertically mounted machinery, coupled or uncoupled shafts, alignment of multiple element drive systems, soft foot detection, target specifications and thermal growth entry for all machines in the train, infrared data transmission to computer, and U-joint (Cardan shaft) alignment. Additional software packages enables alignment of machinery bores (Boralign) and straightness and flatness (Levalign) measurement.

The LineLazer is an accessory that interfaces with the Leonova system, which is capable of doing vibration analysis and balancing with the appro- priate add-on hardware. A bracket is attached to each shaft and the laser–detector heads are then attached to each bracket. The operator then aims the laser toward the detector targets on the opposing shaft FIGURE 15.16 Smartalign system. (Courtesy of Pru ¨ ftechnik, Ismaning, Germany. With permission.)

Inclinometers are incorporated into the heads to measure the angular position of the shafts. A wireless transmission sends the detector signals to the operator display. The operator then rotates the shafts to capture the shaft positions. Once the measurement process has been completed, the user then obtains the corrective moves for the machine selected as the movable machine.
