7.3 Vertical and horizontal flanged machines
A typical vertical machine arrangement comprises one machine mounted on top of
the other using a bolted flange.
Flange-mounted machines can be situated vertically or horizontally. In either case,
alignment corrections are made directly at the flange.
Angularity is corrected by inserting or removing shims between the flanges. The
system calculates the shimming thickness for each flange bolt. Offset is corrected by
positioning the flange laterally.
7 .3 .1 Set-up
Before commencing with this section, please acquaint yourself with chapter 5
‘Horizontal machine alignment’.
The RS5 laser and RS5 BT sensor are mounted on either side of the coupling as with
horizontal machines, with the laser on the shaft of the machine designated stationary.
The electronic inclinometer cannot determine the rotation angle of vertical shafts;
therefore, on vertically oriented machines, measurements must be taken using Static
measurement mode. The eight 45° measurement positions used with this procedure
must be marked accordingly on the machine.
7 .3 .2 Marking measurement positions
1. Mark a reference position on the bearing housing close to the shaft and in line
with one of the pillars or bolts. Likewise, mark a starting point on the shaft. This
ensures that lateral corrections can be performed with the minimum of effort.
2. Measure the circumference of the shaft and divide by eight.
3. Use this distance to make seven more evenly-spaced marks on the shaft
beginning at your chosen start point. Number the points counterclockwise as
seen from laser to sensor, beginning with 0 first, followed by 1:30, 3:00, 4:30,
6:00, 7:30, 9:00 and 10:30.

Note
The shaft is numbered
counterclockwise looking
down the shaft, starting
at 0 followed by the clock
positions 1:30, 3:00, 4:30,
6:00, 7:30, 9:00 and 10:30.
