Roller Alignment AT401

Need some help on doing roller alignment, have (2) programs one lets me check roll alignment to baseline - works until I move tracker and use recheck baseline to continue checking rolls. Here I loose ref. and when I check a roll that has been checked before the Horizontal alignment error is way out from previous check.

The other program Roller Alignment 2.0 lets me check rolls with a baseline perpendicular or parallel to rolls but I have not found out how to move tracker with bundle and continue checking the other rolls.

Still playing with programs but could use some tips. PC-DMIS 2013

  • Before you move are you doing a bundle alignment? You have to do a bundle alignment before its moved and then when you move the system you need to finish the remainder of the bundle process to relock in to the previous station/alignment.

    Bundle is just a series of points (minimum of 3 i think) done in a certain order (in pcdmis) that takes the initial locational data and compares it to the new data and relates everything so that you can continue. Its similar to a leapfrog on a arm but I have been told its more accurate. You will want to stage 3 locators on your part at different heights, locations, and areas while still being able to be seen at all tracker moves. Again I think 3 is the minimum.

    Just curious, did you just get this system?
