1. SET UP THE FIXTURLASER GO
1.1 Mount the “S” sensor on the stationary shaft.
ƒ
The sensors may be mounted on the shafts or on
the coupling hubs.
ƒ
Place the bracket on the shaft and pull the chain
under the shaft and hook it over the pin.
ƒ
Hand tighten the nut, then ½ turn more with the
wrench.
1.2 Mount the “M” sensor on the movable shaft.
ƒ
Place the bracket on the shaft and pull the chain
under the shaft and hook it over the pin.
ƒ
Hand tighten the nut.
ƒ
Visually align the sensors (side to side), then
tighten the nut ½ turn more with the wrench.
1.3 Connect the cables into either connector on the
display unit.
1.4 Turn the unit on by pressing the red button at the
center bottom of the display.
1.5 The Horizontal Shaft Alignment coupling icon will
be highlighted in black. Press the “OK” button on
the right hand key pad to enter the Horizontal Shaft
Alignment Program.
ƒ
Use the up/down & left/right arrow buttons
on the right hand key pad to move the black
highlight to the different icons as needed. Press
the “OK” button to select.
1.6 Rotate the sensors to 12:00.

SoftCheck™
Softfoot was discussed previously in the pre-alignment chapter. Again, softfoot occurs when all the machine feet do not rest flatly
on the machine base at the same time. The bad effects of softfoot are that bearings become misaligned, bearing clearances change
and the machine rotational center is moved. Precision alignment is nearly impossible to perform unless softfoot is corrected.
The GO has a softfoot function, SoftCheck™, that calculates the approximate lift at the feet as bolts are loosened and then
retightened. This process is done by checking one foot at a time. Gross softfoot should always be corrected before using SoftCheck™.
If the foot has an angular relationship to the base, you can correct this by cutting a partial shim to make up the angular
correction. When cutting partial shims from pre-cut stock, always leave the shim ‘tab’ intact. The tab can be used to make each
shim pile organized and the partial shim will return to the original position. Never ‘feather’ shims out to fix an angled foot. It is
unlikely the angular correction will be duplicated when shim piles are changed out during the alignment.
