5.18 Checking pipe strain
The effects of pipe strain on shaft alignment can be measured using the system.
This feature is used to check for strain from external sources acting on machines.
The measured values are quantified in terms of offset and angularity. The values are
combined for both the vertical and horizontal directions. This check can prove the
existence of pipe strain on a pump or conduit strain on a motor.
An external stress on a machine frame usually results in machine frame distortion. It is
important to ascertain its existence and eliminate it. This check complements but does
not replace the soft foot function.
5 .18 .1 How the function works
After mounting the laser and sensor with integrated Bluetooth as usual (refer
to sections 5.3 – 5.4), turn the system computer on. Enter all necessary machine
dimensions as usual. Press
q
while in the dimensions screen. The context menu with
the function ‘Pipe strain wizard’ appears.
With the context menu displayed, use
f
/
g
and highlight ‘Pipe strain wizard’
then press
e
to confirm selection. The wizard starts.
The wizard opens always
with the ‘Next’ button
highlighted. Should this
not be the case, use the
navigation keys to highlight
‘Next’. The wizard may be
