Abstract
A method and an apparatus are specified for alignment of the shaft W,of a rotating machine M,in a predetermined nominal position by moving the machine M,on the base, as well as an apparatus for carrying out the method. The instantaneous position of the shaft W,is detected in a known manner by a sensor device,which provides electrical position signals corresponding to the difference between the instantaneous position of the shaft W,and the shaft nominal position. These position signals, the known relative position of the mounting points,of the machine M,on the base with respect to the predetermined reference points on this base, and other geometric measurement data are used by a computer to calculate correction values for position corrections to be made at the individual mounting points,of the machine M,and these correction values are brought to the attention of the alignment technician,for the magnitude and direction for each mounting point,According to the invention, the current correction values which, until now, have been indicated only visually according to the prior art, are transmitted acoustically, for the individual mounting points,to the alignment technician,The alignment technician,can thus pay his full attention to the position corrections to be carried out at the mounting points (,).
