Cardan shaft alignment - Using rotating arm bracket
Measurement using the rotating arm bracket allows precise measurement of machines joined
by cardan shafts without having to remove the cardan shaft, which must be rotated to take
measurements.
Note
Based upon experience, it is suggested that both sensALIGN laser and sensor should
first be mounted on their respective brackets together with the anti-torsion bridges,
then the bracket assemblies with the components mounted on the respective machine
shafts.
It must be ensured that the surface where the cardan rotating arm bracket is to be
mounted is clean, smooth, cylindrical, even and provides the necessary surface contact.
Should the surface be painted, ensure that paint is stripped off the four areas with con-
tact to the bracket 'V' frame.

Large chain type bracket for mounting laser
Mounting laser, sensor and RF module
1. Mount the laser on the support posts of the large chain type bracket, and then mount an
anti-torsion bridge on the laser support posts to provide the necessary rigidity to the long sup-
port posts.
2. Mount the sensor and the RF module on the support posts of the cardan rotating arm bracket
then mount an anti-torsion bridge on the sensor support posts to provide the necessary rigidity
to the long support posts.
Mounting the brackets on the shafts
Mount the large chain type bracket holding the laser on the shaft of the left machine (usually
reference machine), and the cardan rotating arm bracket holding the sensor and the RF mod-
ule on the shaft of the right machine (usually moveable machine) – as viewed from normal
working position. Ensure that both markings on the rotating arm are in line.
