5.2.3

No measurement values

a) Check the cables and connectors.
b) Assure that the laser lines hit the positioning detectors.
c) Assure uninterrupted travel of the laser lines.

5.2.4

Fluctuating measurement values

a) Assure tight attachment of fixtures and measuring units.
b) Assure that the laser lines hit the detectors.
c) Assure that air turbulence does not influence the measurement.
d) Assure that direct bright light or obstructed laser lines do not

influence the measurement results.

e) Assure that external extensive vibrations do not influence the

measurement.

f)

Assure that radio communications (like walkie-talkies) do not
influence the measurement.

5.2.5

Incorrect measuring results

a) Assure you face the Stationary machine from behind the Movable

machine.

b) Check the attachment of fixtures and measuring units.
c) S-cable to S-unit and M-cable to M-unit?
d) S-unit on Stationary and M-unit on Movable machine?
e) Assure right position before confirmation of measurements.

5.2.6

Measurement results cannot be repeated

a) Check if there is a soft foot condition.
b) Check if there are any loose mechanical parts, play in bearing or

movements in the machinery.

c)

Check the status of foundation, base plate, bolts and existing
shims.
