Laser safety
The FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN system uses a class II laser beam. Class II lasers comply with
the requirements outlined in the USAs FDA specifcation 21 CFR Ch. 1, Parts 1040.10 and
1040.11 as well as the ANSI standard. It also fulflls British standard BS 4803 (Part 1 to Part
3) and European Industrial Standard IEC 825. The class II laser operates at a wavelength
of 675 nm, with a maximum pulse duration of 128 s, maximum radiant power of 0.8
mW and maximum radiant energy per pulse of 0.1 J. No maintenance is necessary to
keep this product in compliance with the specifcations referred to.
Do not look directly into the laser beam at any time. (Since FDA specifcations
allow maximum exposure of 0.25 seconds, the natural blink reaction of the
human eye is normally sufcient to avert any danger, provided that no optical
instruments other than ordinary eye glasses/contact lenses are used.)
Do not insert any optical devices into the beam path.
The red LED on the front of the transducer illuminates whenever the laser
beam is emitted.
Operating information
Temperature range
FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN and its related system components must be used at tempera-
tures between 0 and 50 C (32 to 122 F). Outside of this range, the specifed accuracy
may not be maintained.
Store FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN and its related components at temperatures between
-20 C and 60 C (-4 F to 140 F).
Temperature efects and fuctuations
Powerful heat sources or steam located near the laser beam could infuence the accuracy
of measurements as a result of beam defection. In practice, however, this efect occurs
seldom at distances up to 1 m. If in doubt, the efect can be eliminated by shielding the
system from the heat/steam source during measurement and adjustment.
As with all precision optical measurement devices, sudden fuctuations in temperatures
(e.g. resulting from sunlight), could result in erroneous measurements.
Allow adequate time for FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN and its related components to
reach the ambient temperature.
s
WARNING
H
Note

Incident light
Avoid exposing FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN to strong, hot light such as direct sunlight.
Dust and water seals
FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN is water and contamination resistant to specifcation IP65; the
transducer and refector are resistant to specifcation IP67. This specifcation requires
that each component be able to withstand a water jet spray from any direction (the
components are NOT guaranteed to withstand a full submersion). Note, as with most
water-resistant products, the resistance must be periodically checked and re-sealed if
necessary. This can be carried out during service and recalibration of the system which
should be carried out every two years.
Interface connection
FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN is ftted with two interfaces: data exchange with a PC/printer
and mains supply for the rechargeable battery option and the transducer.
Note regarding data storage
With any data processing software, data may be lost or altered under certain cir-
cumstances. FAG Industrial Services GmbH strongly recommends that you keep a
backup or printed records of all important data.
FAG Industrial Services GmbH assumes no responsibility for data lost or altered as
a result of improper use, repairs, defects, battery replacement/failures or any other
cause.
FAG Industrial Services GmbH assumes no responsibility, directly or indirectly, for
fnancial losses or claims from third parties resulting from the use of this product
and any of its functions, such as loss or alteration of stored data.

Power supply
The FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN is powered using 5 standard AA size alkaline batteries. The
batteries also serve as the main supply to the transducer, and these allow operation of
up to 9 hours (33% active measurement, 33% computation, 33% sleep mode).
Replacing disposable batteries
The replacement of batteries is possible only in the standard FAG Top-Laser
EQUILIGN computer.
Batteries should be replaced as soon as they become depleted or if the system is not to
be used for an extended period. Any type of good-quality AA size batteries can be used
with the standard FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN computer, including alkaline-manganese or
metal hydride cells (such as the Duracell PLUS MN 1500). It is recommended to replace all
5 batteries together. Note the battery polarity when inserting them in the compartment.
To remove the batteries, turn over the computer taking care not to damage the display
and the hard keys. The quarter turn fastener holding the battery compartment cover is
opened using a 7 mm ( 9/32 inch ) slot-head screwdriver. With the fastener loosened, lift
the battery compartment cover and remove batteries.
Used batteries should be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner in
accordance with applicable regulations!

Transducer
The transducer contains a laser diode which emits a beam of red light (wavelength 675
nm). The beam is visible at the point it strikes a surface. It is emitted with a diameter
of approx 5 mm (3/16). Also located in the same housing is a beam detector which
measures the exact position of the laser beam as the shafts are rotated. This component
is a biaxial, analog, photoelectric semiconductor position detector with a resolution of 1
m. The transducer also contains an electronic inclinometer with resolution better than
1 for measurement of the shaft rotation angle.
The transducer has two indicator LEDs on its front side, one green for indicating beam
adjustment, and the other red when the laser is on. The transducer is powered by the
FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN computer via a cable through which measurement data also
passes.
The transducer is IP67 protected to resist water spray and dust. The internal optics and
electronics are sealed to prevent any possible contamination. The transducer lens,
however, must be kept clean. Use the lens cleaning cloth or a fne dusting brush such as
that normally used to clean other optical devices. Keep the dust cap on when not in use.
Avoid polishing the lens too vigorously to prevent irreparable damage to its anti-
refective coating.
Under no circumstances may the six smaller housing screws be removed, as that
would result in loss of calibration and would void all warranty coverage.
The calibration accuracy of the transducer should be checked every two years as
indicated by the coloured label located on the back of the receiver housing. Please
contact the support for calibration checking.
Do not stare into the beam!
Refector
The refector is always mounted on the shaft or solid coupling of the machine to be
moved. It refects the laser beam back into the position detector as the shafts are
rotated. The locking lever fips into the horizontal position, facing forward, to hold the
refector in place on the bracket posts. The refector is adjusted by changing its vertical

position and its horizontal angle (using the thumbscrews) so that the beam is refected
directly back into the transducer.
The refector must be kept clean. Use the lens cleaning cloth or a fne dusting brush such
as that normally used to clean other optical devices.
Avoid vigorous polishing to preserve the anti-refective coating. Keep the dust cap
on the refector when it is not in use. a

Measure
The measurement mode that will be described here is active clock. In this mode,
measurement points are taken at any 3 or 4 of the 8 available sectors. Active clock
and static measurement modes are default. Other available measurement modes
are optional features.
Initially center the laser dot on the refector dust cap. With the dust cap on, laser of
appears on the screen with the FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN computer alignment condition
LED lit red.

Avoid looking directly at the laser beam.
Adjust bracket if necessary to center beam horizontally onto the refector. Tighten
bracket. Slide the refector on the support posts to center beam vertically onto the
refector dust cap. When centered, remove the refector dust cap.
Use the yellow knob to make horizontal adjustments of the refected laser beam, and
the thumbwheel to make vertical adjustments to position the dot at the center of the
target square or as near the center as possible.
When making the above adjustments, observe the FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN com-
puter alignment condition LED and the dot on the display screen. When the LED
turns green, this is an indication that the refected beam position is OK and meas-
urement can proceed. When the LED turns blue, the dot is centered in the target
square.
After centering the laser dot, rotate shaft to the frst measurement position. Measurement
can only be taken when the sector in which the shaft has been positioned is highlighted
bright. Press e to take the measurement point. The sector is then highlighted dark, an
indication that measurement has been taken in that particular sector.

Horizontal machine alignment
1. Preparing for the alignment procedure
Before using FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN, prepare the machine for alignment as described
below.
Make sure machines are locked out and tagged out and cannot be started
accidentally or deliberately while you are working on them!
a. Solid, fat foundation
A solid, rigid foundation is required to obtain correct, lasting shaft alignment that allows
long-term uninterrupted machine service.
b. Machine mobility
If the machine to be moved stands directly on the foundations, it cannot be lowered
for alignment correction. It is therefore advisable to start with about 2 mm (50 mils) of
shims beneath the feet of both machines. Hydraulic or screw-type positioning aids are
recommended for horizontal movement.
c. Rigid couplings
Rigid couplings must be loosened before measurement so that they do not distort the
alignment condition.
d. Shaft play and coupling backlash
Axial shaft play of up to 3 mm (1/8) has no adverse efect on alignment results (but not
necessarily for machine operation!).
Because of the measuring principle, turning the shaft or coupling end where the
refector is mounted eliminates the efects of coupling backlash, as readings are taken
only when the transducer moves.
e. Soft foot
Soft foot causes the machine frame distortion every time the anchor bolts are tightened,
making proper alignment difcult or impossible.
f. Alignment targets, tolerances
These values can be obtained from the individual machine specifcations.
s
WARNING
36
g. Measurement separation
Since FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN requires no mechanical connections (such as cantile-
vered dial indicator brackets) to span over the coupling during measurement, alignment
may easily be performed over large transducerrefector separations.
Note that over very large distances the shafts and coupling may sag, and the machines
may need to be deliberately misaligned to take this into account, if such sag does not
disappear when machines are put into operation. Refer to the machine manufacturers
specifcations.
2. Check for soft foot
Refer to section on soft foot on page 71.
3. Mount the brackets
Mount the brackets on either side of the machine coupling, and both at the same
rotational position.
Please note the following in order to obtain the highest possible measurement accuracy
and to avoid damage to equipment:
Ensure that the brackets ft solidly onto their mounting surfaces!
Do not use self-constructed mounting brackets, or modify the original bracket
confguration supplied by FAG Industrial Services GmbH (for example, do not use
support posts longer than those supplied with the bracket).
Bracket mounting procedure
To ft the compact bracket chains, refer to the diagrams shown on the next page and
follow the instructions carefully.
1. Choose the shortest support posts which will still allow the laser beam to pass over
the coupling fange. Insert the support posts into the bracket.
In some cases, if the coupling is large enough, a coupling bolt can be removed and
the laser beam shot through the bolt hole, in order to avoid protruding radially
beyond the couplings outer diameter (OD).
2. Fasten them in place by tightening the hex screws on the sides of the bracket
frame.
a
CAUTION
s
WARNING
H
Note
37
3. Place the bracket on the shaft or coupling. Wrap the chain around the shaft and
feed it through the other side of the bracket: If the shaft is smaller than the width of
the bracket frame, insert the chain from the inside of the bracket as shown below;
if the shaft is larger than the bracket width, insert the chain into the frame from the
outside.
4. Catch the chain loosely on the anchor peg.
5. Turn the bracket thumbnut to tighten the assembly onto the shaft.
6. Clip the loose end of the chain back onto itself.
The bracket should now be tight upon the shaft. Do not push or pull on the bracket to
check, since this could loosen its mounting.
To remove the brackets, loosen the thumbnut, then remove the chain from its anchor
peg.
The compact chain-type brackets cover most situations, but in cramped or special
cases, other types of brackets may be required. Please contact FAG Industrial Ser-
vices GmbH support for details.

4. Mount the transducer and refector
Mount transducer
1. Mount the transducer on the support posts of the bracket fxed on the shaft of
the left machine (usually stationary machine) as viewed from normal working
position. Ensure that its yellow knobs are loosened enough to let you slide the
housing onto the support posts with the cable side downward.
2. Clamp the transducer onto the support posts by tightening the yellow knobs.
Ensure that the laser can pass over or through the coupling and is not blocked.
Fasten the cable to one of the support posts using a cable clip.
Cable clip

Take care not to overtighten
the yellow locking knobs.
1. Loosen the yellow knobs and
push the transducer down onto
the posts.
2. Tighten the yellow knobs; attach
cable clip to post.
39
Mount refector
a. Mount the refector on the support posts of the bracket fxed on the shaft of the
right machine (usually moveable machine) as viewed from normal working
position.
The yellow knob on the front of the refector allows you to adjust the horizontal angle
of the refected laser beam. Before you mount the refector make sure that this knob
is centered to allow for maximum adjustment range later on. The bottom of the knob
should be fush with the arrow marking on the refector housing.
b. Flip up the quick-release lever on the side of the refector housing, then slide
the refector onto the right-hand bracket posts. Return the lever to its horizontal
position to secure the refector on the posts.
Both transducer and refector should be at the same height, as low as possible, yet just
high enough for the beam to clear the coupling fange. They should also visually appear
to be parallel to each other.
Make the fnal adjustments, loosening the brackets slightly if necessary, then rotating
them and retightening.
In some cases, if the coupling
is large enough, a coupling
bolt can be removed and the
laser beam shot through the
bolt hole, in order to avoid
protruding radially beyond
the couplings outer diameter
(OD).

7.2 Laser beam adjustment
After entering all required dimensions, the measurement screen appears automatically.
The transducer and refector need to be adjusted so that the laser beam strikes the
refector and is refected back into the transducer.
Do not look into the laser transducer aperture!
s
WARNING
45
7.2.1 Remove transducer cap
The laser beam is now on! Leave the refector cap on. When the beam strikes the cap it
should be readily visible. Should the beam be so far of target that it misses the refector
completely, hold a sheet of paper in front of the refector to try and locate the beam.
7.2.2 Adjust beam onto refector cap
With the refector dust cap still in place, adjust the beam onto the center of the target:
To adjust vertically slide the reflector and/or transducer up and down along
the support posts. Use the thumbwheel on the side of the reflector housing. To
move the transducer, loosen the yellow knobs.
To adjust horizontally you will have to loosen one of the brackets on the shaft
and rotate it slightly. Retighten.
7.2.3 Adjust refector until both transducer LEDs blink together slowly and FAG
Top-Laser EQUILIGN computer alignment condition LED turns blue
The transducer has a red and a green LED to indicate the beam adjustment condition.
This condition is simultaneously monitored on the FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN alignment
condition LED.
Make sure that the refector and transducer lens are clean. Use a soft lint-free cloth.
A lens cleaning cloth is supplied.
When the refected beam fails to strike the detector surface, the FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN
alignment condition LED turns red while the red transducer LED blinks quickly (0.3 s). The
message Laser OFF appears on the display screen. Adjust the refected beam using the
refector metal thumbwheel and the yellow adjustment knob on the refector as shown
on the next page. As the refected beam strikes the edge of the detector, the computer
alignment condition LED turns amber with the red transducer LED still blinking quickly.
The message Laser End appears on the display screen.
7.2.4 Center beam such that the FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN alignment condition LED
turns blue
Adjust the laser beam such that the laser dot on the display screen is positioned in the
green square in the center of the detector display.

The beam does not have to be exactly at the center of the crosshair, as this will not
afect measurement accuracy. However, maximum range for measurement is avail-
able when the beam is well centered.
Once centered, the transducer and refector must not be touched, as any move-
ment during measurement will be interpreted as misalignment. These compo-
nents may however be moved when extending the measurement range.

8. Take measurements
It is important to note which measurement mode is best suited for a particular
application. The table below gives a guide as to which measurement mode is ideal for
which measurement.
Measurement mode Application
Active clock standard machines
Static measurement uncoupled shafts, nonrotatable shafts,
When the laser beam is centered such that the dot on the display screen is at the center
of the crosshair, the alignment condition LED turns blue.
Active clock measure mode is the default. In this mode, measurement points are
taken at any 3 or 4 of the eight available sectors. Three measurement points are
sufcient to determine the alignment condition.
Static measurement mode which is also a default is described in Alignment op-
tions starting on page 79.
ILIGN
HNote
49
If coupling torsion play (backlash) is suspected, turn the shaft or coupling end
where the refector is mounted. Ensure shaft is turned in the normal rotation direc-
tion of the machine.
8.1 Turning shafts
To measure, rotate shaft to the frst measurement position. Measurement can only be
taken when the sector in which the shaft has been positioned is highlighted bright.
Press e to take the frst measurement point. The sector is then highlighted dark, an
indication that measurement has been taken in that particular sector.
After taking point, rotate shaft to next measurement sector and repeat the step above.
In active clock, the electronic inclinometer in the transducer is active and auto-
matically determines the rotational angle of the shaft, eliminating human error.
H
Note
This example shows the
transducer positioned in
a sector highlighted dark.
In this angle measurement
cannot be taken.
H
Note
50
Remember not to touch mounted components! This includes the brackets and the
support posts, which are NOT to be used to rotate the shafts .
It is advisable to turn shafts in the same direction as the machine normally rotates,
in case the shafts shift from their normal seating in the bearings.
You may begin measurement by turning the shafts even if the beam is not cen-
tered exactly at the center of the crosshair.
8.2 END or OFF? Extend
If Laser END or Laser OFF appears on the screen during the turning of the shafts, the
laser has drifted out of the detector due to great misalignment or long beam travel. If
this happens, then use the optional Extend function to extend the measurement range.
This function is described on page 81.
The function extend is possible in only active clock and static measurement
modes.
9. Results
Results are prompted automatically after the set number of measurements points have
been taken.
If however, the default active clock measurement points has been set at four, results may
be initiated after three measurement points have beeen taken by pressing k.

9.1 Alignment condition in both vertical and horizontal directions
Coupling results are given in the form of gap and ofset values in both vertical and
horizontal directions. The true gap being the diference in gap between the coupling
faces top to bottom (vertical) or side to side (horizontal) at the diameter that was
entered. Ofset on the other hand is the distance between two centerlines at the trans-
mission plane of the coupling.
Sign convention
Gap is positive when open at top or side away from viewer. Ofset is positive when
moveable machine is higher or further from viewer.
Positive values are upwards or away from the viewer.
Negative values are downwards or towards the viewer.
If all four coupling values are within tolerance, you do not need to align the machines.
If no in-house standards or specifcations from the coupling or machine manufacturer
are available, the FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN computer alignment condition LED and the
Thumb Symbol provides a tolerance check based on the built in tolerance tables. If
the measured alignment falls within good tolerance, the LED turns blue. The LED turns
amber when alignment is out of tolerance and red when the machines are grossly
misaligned. In both these cases, the machines must be aligned.
If the coupling results show that misalignment execeds the tolerance, then the machine
must be realigned by shimming vertically and repositioning the machine horizontally.
The vertical results show that
the machine front feet are
to be raised by 0.43 mm and
the rear feet raised by 0.15
mm. The horizontal results
show that the machine front
feet are to be moved 0.34
mm toward viewer and the
rear feet moved 0.79 mm
also toward viewer.

9.3 Tolerances
The thumb symbol on the results display indicates the degree to which the measured
alignment condition meets tolerances. These are calculated from the coupling
tolerances. The thumb depicts either alignment within tolerance or out of tolerance.

The FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN computer alignment condition LED provides additional
information on the tolerance status.

Out of tolerance thumb down Red
9.4 Tolerance table
It is possible to display the suggested active FAG Industrial Services GmbH tolerance
table.
Suggested alignment tolerances are based upon experience and should not be ex-
ceeded. They are to be used only if existing in-house standards or the manufac-
turer of the machine or coupling prescribe no other values.
The tolerance table is accessed as described on pages 91, and is valid for standard
equipment running between 600 7200 RPM.

10. Align machine
Machines can be aligned using the given foot results by proceeding as described
below. Remember, if alignment is in tolerance (indicated by a thumb up symbol
and the FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN computer alignment condition LED turns blue or
green), there is NO need to align the machines.
To align your machine you need to move it vertically by shimming the feet, and horizon-
tally by shifting it sideways.
10.1 Shim frst
It is recommended to perform vertical corrections frst, since the horizontal condi-
tion is easily afected by the process of loosening anchor bolts and inserting/re-
moving shims, whereas the vertical condition is less prone to being afected when
performing horizontal moves. You may need to recheck soft foot before proceed-
ing.
10.1.1 Preparation
To shim the machine successfully, ensure the following:
i. The foot bolts are clean, intact and removable.
ii. Soft foot has been eliminated.
iii. The feet have enough shims under them should lowering the machine be
necessary.
iv. Good quality shims such as FAG Laser SHIM are available.
10.1.2 Loosen bolts
Avoid moving the machine horizontally. If any foot comes of the ground when loosened,
suspect soft foot.
10.1.3 Shim feet accordingly
Shimming usually involves the jacking up of the machine and inserting or removing
shims of known thicknesses. (FAG Laser SHIMS have the thicknesses indelibly etched
on them.)
Use the vertical results to shim BOTH front and back feet as required. Negative feet
values indicate that the machine feet are low and therefore shims should be added,
while positive feet values suggest removal of shims.
Note that vertical shimming can also be carried out with the live vertical Move.

10.1.4 Retighten bolts
The machine should now have good vertical alignment.
10.1.5 Remeasure
Remeasure to verify vertical alignment results and determine the exact alignment
condition.
10.2 Horizontal live Move
The horizontal Move is used for the lateral positioning of the machine. This used to be
done with a dial gauge at the machine feet, but with the Move function, you can view
the horizontal movement live on the display screen.
10.2.1 Start live horizontal Move
While in results screen, press e. The results option screen shown below appears.
Use the navigation keys to highlight the Move icon then press e to confrm selection.
The screen used to position the transducer in the appropriate 45 position appears.
The Results options screen
may be used to access a
variety of functions available
as options in results.
55
10.2.2 Turn shafts to any 45 position
Rotate the shaft to any 45 position (this could be either the 10:30, 1:30, 4:30 or 7:30
oclock position as viewed towards transducer).
If the laser beam has been centered, rotating the shaft to an angular position corre-
sponding to any of the four green sectors prompts the Move direction dialog window.
Use either i or h to highlight Horizontal for horizontal machine movement. Confrm
selection by pressing e. Live Move starts as soon as the direction of movement has
been confrmed.
56
10.2.3 Loosen bolts and move machine as required
After loosening the anchor bolts, move the machine feet in the direction of the bright
arrows, keeping an eye on the thumb symbol on the display screen. The size of the
arrows changes with the movements automatically. Watch the display screen carefully
to ensure that machine end and direction moved are correct. The thumb on the display
screen and the FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN computer alignment condition LED also gives
an indication of the alignment status as the machine is moved. (Refer to the tolerances
table.)
Do NOT attempt to move the machine using heavy sledgehammer blows. This can
cause bearing damage, and also produce inaccurate Move results. Jack bolts on
the feet or other mechanical or hydraulic devices are recommended for moving
machines.
a
CAUTION
57
If the thumb returns thumb up symbol, the alignment condition is within tolerance.
Press e to proceed to verify alignment condition after Move.
10.2.4 Tighten the anchor bolts
Tighten anchor bolts and recheck alignment. If machine moves while tightening correct
soft foot frst and also check for a cocked anchor bolt and dished washer, then realign.
10.2.5 Remeasure after Move - machine in tolerance?
Since the machine has been moved, earlier results are no longer valid. With Ok
highlighted after Move is completed, press e to confrm selection. On confrmation,
the measurement mode is initialized. If necessary, center laser beam and take another
set of measurements and view results. If the results are within required tolerance, then
the machines are aligned.
10.2.6 Saving data and printing
(See section 11 on page 61.)
10.2.7 Finally
Switch of the computer, remove the components from the shafts and store them in
the case.
Replace guards before you switch the machine back on.
10.3 Vertical live Move
For vertical live Move repeat steps 10.2.1 through to 10.2.3 (beginning page 54) with
reference to the vertical foot corrections. In this case, shimming as required.
a
CAUTION
58
10.4 Points to observe during the Move
Closely observe points 10.4.1 10.4.5 during live Move.
10.4.1 Have shafts accidentally moved (rotated)?
The shafts, transducer and refector MUST remain steady during the entire Move
procedure!
Should the shaft move from the set 45 green sector while in Move, the angle selection
screen comes up indicating the angle to which the shaft has rotated. The shafts must be
rotated back into the narrow green sector.
Live Move resumes automatically when the shafts are rotated back into this sector.
HNote
59
10.4.2 END or OFF? The Extend function
If END or OFF appears on the screen during machine Move, then the laser beam has
drifted out of detection range due to great misalignment or long beam travel. In this
case, the measurement range can be extended with the function infnity range as
described on page 81.
10.4.3 Nearing zero : watch the smiley and the computer alignment condition LED
Proceed towards zero at both machine ends until the thumb up smbol appears. As the
machine position moves towards zero, the computer alignment condition LED changes
from red (bad) to blue (OK).
10.4.4 Soft foot
If the machine sufers from excessive soft foot, the Move function may be hampered
by the fact that the machine changes its position on its own every time the bolts are
loosened and tightened. Correct this problem before aligning.
10.4.5 If poor repeatability is experienced
Possible causes include:
Incorrect or loose bracket mounting
Significant shaft play or coupling backlash
Soft foot can cause positioning errors that make repeat measurement necessary
Loose anchor bolts
Yellow knobs on transducer loose, or reflector not locked
Transducer is mounted incorrectly or upside down
Mounted components moved during shaft rotation
Temperature changing: machines may have recently shut down
Uneven shaft rotation
Vibration

Soft foot
Soft foot is the condition of machine frame distortion. Any cause that results in machine
frame distortion when the machine is anchored to its foundation is a soft foot. Some of
the principal causes are:
Non-coplanar machine mounting surfaces
Deformed machine frame or feet
External forces e.g. from connecting pipe or bracketry
Improper shimming or soiled machine feet
Too many shims under a machine foot (a maximum of 5 shims should not be
exceeded)
The consequences of forcibly tightening down the feet are deformed machine
frames, bent shafts and distorted bearings. This leads to high vibration and premature
machinery failure.
Soft foot should be checked before aligning the shafts. This can be done quickly and
conveniently with the aid of the instruments soft foot function. With the transducer and
refector mounted on the shaft in the usual way, the system is able to sense any machine
movement when the machine bolts are loosened individually. By entering the machine
dimensions, FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN is able to calculate, from shaft movement, by how
much each foot has moved as it is loosened.
Angular soft foot
The base of the foot is at
an angle to its foundation
and they are only partly in
contact. In this case, suspect
foot is checked with a feeler
gauge and corrected by
building a custom shim
wedge or machining the
underside of the foot.
Parallel soft foot
One or more feet are
too short or too long.
This usually results in the
machine rocking on the
longer feet. This is corrected
by shimming the shorter
feet.
Soft foot
72
Once foot movements have been established, the results are interpreted and translated
into shim thicknesses to be placed under the feet. How straightforward this is, depends
on the type of soft foot present.
Checking and correcting soft foot conditions
The three main types are parallel soft foot, angular soft foot, and induced soft foot. There
are instances where the soft foot is a combination of two or more types. Checking for
soft foot is part of machine and job preparation.
The machine(s) to be checked is/are assumed to have four feet in an approximately
square formation. If the machine has six feet, it is advisable to leave the middle feet
loose and treat the machine as a four-footed machine. Soft foot is measured only
on machine designated as movable.
Set up FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN in the normal way as described in Getting started
(page 29).
Rotate shafts to position the transducer and refector at either the 3:00 or 9:00 oclock
position.
Enter machine dimensions then press .
If initially the laser beam has not been centered, the following screen appears.
Use the on-screen instructions to adjust the laser beam. You may refer to Laser beam
adjustment on page 47.
H
Note
The Soft footscreen may
also be accessed via the
menu. Press q then
use the navigation keys
to highlight the Soft foot
icon. Press e to confrm
selection.
73
Follow the on-screen instructions to center the laser beam.
By pressing e as stated on the on-screen instruction, the laser beam adjustment hint
screen appears.
If the soft foot procedure is followed correctly, there should be no need to prompt
the laser beam adjustment hint screen as this should appear automatically.
After centering the laser beam, press either or e and proceed with soft foot
measurement.
In this example, the
on-screen instructions
indicate that the key e
should be pressed to activate
the laser beam adjustment
hint screen.

If the shafts rotate away from the 3:00 or 9:00 oclock position, an angle correction hint
appears as shown below.
Rotate the shafts back into the green sector and resume measurement.
When the message angle
in range appears, you may
press e/ to continue
with soft foot measurement
or wait for the process to
resume automatically.
Soft foot
76
Use the navigation keys to select the foot to be measured. Press e to confrm foot
selection.
After foot to be measured has been identifed, the wrench icon appears indicating that
the foot anchor bolt may be loosened.
Loosen the corresponding anchor bolt then press e.
Note the hint on the screen
carefully. After selection of
the foot to be measured,
pressing e activates the
process of identifying foot to
be measured.
77
The calculated amount that the foot has moved is shown on the screen. Retighten the
bolt. The next foot is highlighted automatically, or any desired foot can be selected
using the navigation keys.
Repeat this procedure for each foot. Cycle through using the navigation keys.

With the four foot values, the soft foot condition can be analyzed and diagnosed, then
the shimming corrections can be determined. Note that these values are saved in the fle
along with the dimensions, measurement and results, and appear in the printed report.
Note that if any one
single foot exceeds the
set tolerance of 0.06 mm
(0.002), the sad Smiley
appears immediately.
The set soft foot tolerance
is 0.06 mm (0.002). The
thumb down symbol
indicates that the measured
soft foot is out of tolerance
and shimming corrections
are necessary.
Soft foot
78
Parallel soft foot correction
If two diagonal values are roughly equal and signifcantly higher than the other two,
parallel soft foot can be assumed as a frst solution.
Angular soft foot correction
If one value is signifcantly higher than the others, then angular soft foot can be
suspected.
The problem foot or machine frame is probably bent or distorted in some way. In
this case loosen the bolt and examine the foot more closely. Use a feeler gauge to
establish the variation of the gap and use these measurements to sketch the shape and
dimensions for a stair stepped shim wedge.
If the soft foot is purely angular then the stepped shim will vary in thickness from about
zero to twice the value displayed by FAG Top-Laser EQUILIGN.
Parallel soft foot
The machine is rocking on
two diagonal feet which are
longer than the other two. In
this example, the correction
would be to place a 0.89mm
shim under foot b (the foot
with the largest gap)
Angular soft foot
The base of one or more
feet is at an angle to the
foundation and is only partly
in contact.

Static measurement
This measurement mode is used for uncoupled shafts, and nonrotatable shafts.
After centering the laser beam as described in Laser beam adjustment on page 47,
turn the shafts to any of the eight 45 positions (i.e. 12.00, 1.30, 3.00, 4.30, 6.00, 7.30,
9.00 or 10.30 oclock position viewed from coupling towards transducer). Position shaft
as accurately as possible using either an external inclinometer, spirit level or protractor.
Use the navigation keys to position the clock hour hand to the corresponding shaft
position.

Press e to take the frst measurement point. After point is taken, rotate shafts to the
next measurement position. Ensure shafts are accurately placed at the 45 position. Use
the navigation keys to move the clock hour hand on the display screen to the corre-
sponding shaft position. Take next measurement point by pressing e.
If shaft rotation restrictions hinder the taking of measurement at particular shaft
positions, bypass these using the navigation keys.
Measurements must be taken in at least three positions over 90, but it is recommended
to take more measurements over a wider rotational angle.
Pressing i/g
positions the clock hour
hand at the next 45 position
in a clockwise direction.
Pressing h/f
positions the clock hour
hand at the next 45 position
in an anticlockwise direction.

After fnishing measurement, press k to display results.
Extending the measurement range
Gross misalignment of shafts or angular misalignment over large distances can cause
the laser beam to miss the detector surface during measurement. When this happens,
Laser End appears on the display screen and the instruments extend function can be
used.
1. When measuring and Laser End message appears, rotate the shafts backwards
until the laser beam re-enters the measurement range. The message Laser READY
reappears on the display.

2. Press q to access the menu. While in the menu screen use the navigation keys
to highlight the Measure mode icon and confrm selection by pressing e. The
Measurement options screen opens.
3. Use the navigation keys to highlight the Extend icon, then press e to confrm
selection. The program interrupts measurement and switches to the beam
adjustment screen. The current beam position is automatically recorded and taken
as the starting point for range extension.
4. Readjust the beam into the target square using the yellow refector knob and the
metal thumbwheel.
Alignment options
83

5. On centering the laser dot, the alignment condition LED turns blue. The adjusted
beam position is automatically recorded and taken as the end point of the read-
justment.
6. Continue measurement as before, rotating the shafts and pressing e to take
measurements at the available positions.
The program includes the displacement of beam readjustment in its alignment calcula-
tions.
Laser End is displayed when the refected beam misses the detector. This situation
occurs when machines are severely misaligned, or when the beam travel is long.
Measurement is not taken when this message appears.
Averaging
In certain industrial conditions, it may be necessary to increase the number of measure-
ments to be averaged when taking readings to attain the desired accuracy. Particular
cases include applications with increased machinery vibration. An increased averaging
also improves the accuracy when measuring sleeve bearings, white metal bearings and
journal bearings.
The number of individual readings which are averaged together to form one
measurement are set via the Measurement options screen. Press q to access the
menu. While in the menu screen use the navigation keys to highlight the Measure mode
icon and confrm selection by pressing e. The Measurement options screen opens.

H
Note
84
Use the navigation keys to highlight the Averaging icon, then press e to confrm
selection.
The average setting can be changed from a minimum averaging of 0.4 seconds to a
maximum averaging of 1.6 seconds.
Averaging is possible only in Active Clock and Static measurement modes. The av-
eraging setting that is selected will also be active in soft foot and Move. Should
high averaging be selected, patience must be exercised during Move to allow FAG
Top-Laser EQUILIGN enough time to catch-upas the machine is moved. In this
case, each reading that must be calculated to update the graphic display will take a
longer time. Averaging cannot be changed once a measurement has been started.
