Note!

Before delivery of the product for warranty repair, it is the responsibility of the buyer to backup all data. Data recovery is not included in the warranty service and Damalini is not responsible for data that may be lost or damaged during transit or repair.

Lithium Ion battery limited warranty

Lithium ion batteries inevitably lose power during their lifetimes, depending on usage temperatures and the number of charging cycles. Therefore, the internal rechargeable batteries used in the E-series are not included in our general 2-year warranty. There is a 1 year warranty for the battery capacity not to fall below 70 % (a normal change means that the battery must have more than 70 % capacity after more than 300 charging cycles). A 2 year warranty applies if the battery becomes unusable because of a manufacturing fault or factors that Damalini AB could be expected to have control of, or if the battery displays abnormal loss of capacity in relation to use.

Extended warranty

Easy-Laser® Measurement and Alignment Systems meet the highest quality standards! For this reason, we have extended the warranty to you to a total of 3 years — free of charge!

The prerequisite for a warranty extension is that you register your system parts on the Internet within 6 months of purchase. The warranty period begins on the date of purchase. The warranty extension applies to all products in accordance with the EasyLaser® Warranty requirements.

Safety precautions

Easy-Laser® is a laser instrument in laser class II with an output power less than 1 mW, which requires the following safety precautions:

• Never stare directly into the laser beam

• Never aim the laser beam at anyone else’s eyes.

Note!

Opening the laser units can result in hazardous radiation, and will invalidate the manufacturer warranty.

If starting the machine to be measured would result in injuries, the possibility to unintentionally start it must be disabled before mounting the equipment, for example by locking the switch in the off position or removing the fuses. These safety precautions should remain in place until the measurement equipment has been removed from the machine.

Note!

The system should not be used in explosive risk areas.

Lock feet pair

This function is available in graph and table view. We recommend that you lock two feet pair to get the most accurate calculated reference line as possible. If you choose to lock only one feet pair, the tilt of the train is maintained and the coupling is offset.

Best t and Manual t

By default, an average best t is calculated on the measured machine train. This means

that the train is tilted to the attest possible plane. If no feet pairs are locked, the sys-

tem assumes that all machines are possible to move in all directions. For each coupling

that you measure, the best t is recalculated. When you have made adjustments on a coupling, the best t is no longer recalculated.

Manual t

Only available when you have measured the whole train, and only in graph view. Use this function when you know that you for example can move a machine a little in one direction, but not at all in another direction.

STRAIGHTNESS

The program Straightness is used for machine foundations, shafts, bearing journals and machine tools for example.

The basic principle for straightness measurement is that all measurement values will show the position of the detector unit relative to the laser beam. First, the laser beam is roughly aligned along the measurement object. The detector is then positioned on the selected measuring points and the values registered.

Setting two reference points will offset all other measurement points based on a reference line drawn between the two set reference points.

Both reference points are set to zero

Straightness

Reference point with offset

By using reference point offset it is possible to move the position of a reference point. This can be used for instance in turbine measurements to compensate for thermal expansion.

Reference points

Same reference points, but with offset.

Best t operations

All best three best t operations will try to nd a reference line where the peak to peak value of the measurement points is minimized. This can be used for instance to see if a surface is within given tolerances. The difference between the best t operations is the

offset that is set.

Best t – around 0

This operation removes all reference points. Centre the values so that the maximum and minimum values are equally large.

Best t – all positive

Removes all reference points.

The best t with all measure-

ment points above zero.

Best t – all negative

Waviness

It may be insufcient to interpret the quality of a measurement by looking only at the

measurement peak to peak value. Waviness is often used to detect large deviations. In some applications there might not be a problem with many small deviations, but one large will cause great problems. Bearings in diesel engines is one example.

Example

The two surfaces in the example below have the same peak to peak value. However

the rst measurement is rougher than the second.

In many applications a smooth measurement is desired. Using waviness it is possible to indicate the smoothness of a measurement. In this example, the rougher measurement will get a waviness graph with higher values.

Two surfaces with same peak-to-peak value

Waviness calculation

The waviness number is calculated by letting a sliding set of reference points traverse the measurement values. The maximum absolute value between the reference points will determine the waviness number at the given position.

Waviness factor 1 checks the deviations between three measurement points. For example between points 1-3, 2-4 and 3-5 etc.

Waviness factor 2 checks the deviations between four measurement points.
