L-702/L-702SP Spindle and Multi-Turn Alignment System

The L-702/L-702SP 4-Axis Spindle & Multi-Turn Machine Alignment System is a complete alignment system for

aligning spindles on lathes, turning centers and multi-turn machines. There are two configurations:

•L-702 – This version is used only to

align spindles to subspindles, check

flatness and straightness of the lathe

and turning-center guideways, and

alignment of headstocks to tailstocks.

It can also be used to check the

parallelism of the headstock to the

lathe-bed guideways.

•L-702SP – This version adds an

automatically rotating turret that

sweeps a laser scan plane that is

perpendicular to the spindle laser,

which allows the capability to check

squareness of cross slides or

machining axes on lathes and multi-

turn machines. With an added

magnetic leveling base accessory, the

L-702SP can also be used to check

machine leveling, alignment and axis

squareness.

System Features

•Fast: Easy setups let you do a quick alignment check in 20 minutes and get full alignment data in 30-40 minutes

on most machines.

•Easy: Laser and target mount directly into the spindle and tailstock, respectively, allowing the entire length of

even the largest lathes to be quickly and easily aligned without changing setups, replacing cumbersome and

impractical alignment test bars. With built-in squareness capability, checking cross-slide squareness is a 5-

minute operation

•Accurate: Ultra-high resolution of up to .00001 in. (0.00025 mm) combined with software to correct mounting

errors produces a very accurate alignment, less than .0001 in. (0.0025 mm) and .0001 in/ft (0.0083 mm/m) under

good environmental conditions.

•Lathe9 Software: Large, easy-to-read alignment displays, live alignment data and spindle graphics, and a six-

step procedure that guides users through the alignment with on-screen help instructions.

•Spindle8 Software: Designed for transfer-line spindle alignments, Spindle8 features large, easy-to-read

alignment displays, live alignment data and spindle graphics, and a four-step procedure that guides users through

aligning spindles to master parts on transfer-line spindle applications

Hardware Overview

Model L-702/L-702SP Spindle Laser

The Model L-702/L-702SP Lasers have a low-power, Class II

visible-light laser designed to mount in the spindle of a machine

tool to project its axis of rotation during alignment. Vertical and

horizontal angular controls allow the user to fine-adjust the laser

angle to the spindle’s precise axis of rotation. The L-702 is

designed for applications where the distance between target and

laser is approximately 100 ft. (30 m).

In addition to the spindle laser, the L-702SP version features an

automatically rotating turret that sweeps a laser scan plane

perpendicular to the laser beam for checking cross-slide/turret axis

squareness and multi-turn milling axes.

Built-in levels on the sides provide easy indexing when inverting

for error correction readings. A 0.50 in. (12.7 mm) mounting stud

simplifies fixturing and can be removed to adapt the unit to custom

fixtures or other alignment applications.

Both lasers feature a built-in, rechargeable, lithium ion battery that

provides operation for up to eight hours on a single charge.

The L-702 and L-702SP work with any Hamar Laser target,

readout, or interface. They can be used for many types of

alignment jobs, including spindle and bore alignment, and

measuring and correcting the alignment of a workpiece on the

machine.

Applications include:

•Horizontal Boring Mill Indexing Checks for Deep-Bore

Applications

•Lathe/Turning applications (cylindrical, OD/ID grinders, lathes)

•Multi-Turn Machining Centers

•Twin-Barrel Extruders

Laser Control Panel and Functions

The Status LEDs

•Status LED – red – indicates the laser is powered on.

•Low Battery LED – red - blinks if the battery is low and needs charging.

•Charging LED – yellow – lights when the rechargeable battery is charging (see

Figure 3).

The On/Off Button

Press the ON/OFF button once to turn it on and press and hold to turn it off. The

I/O LED will illuminate when the power turns on.

L-702SP Scan button

Power the L-702SP on and press the SCAN button to turn on the turret laser rotation

and create a scan plane. Press it again to turn it off.

Note:The Pentaprism in the turret will need to be pivoted into place to create the

scan plane. See Switching L-702SP Turret into Scan Mode on Page 19 for

instructions.

A/C Connector

The L-702 comes with a rechargeable battery. The connector is shown below.

Pitch/Roll Adjustment Knob

The adjustment knobs use differential micrometers, allowing both coarse and fine functions.

•Coarse Adjustment – tighten the set screw to disable the fine adjustment.

•Fine Adjustment – loosen the set screw to enable the fine adjustment,

which is 12 times finer adjustment resolution.

The T-261A Four-Axis Target

The T-261 Four-Axis Target reads both center and angle (pitch and yaw)

simultaneously, allowing a real-time display of misalignment. The target

data has a resolution with the R-358 of .00001 in/ft. (0.0008 mm/m) in

angle mode and .00001 in. (0.0005) in in centering mode. Two bubble

levels on the top and bottom make it easy to position when inverting for

NORMIN procedure (see Appendix A, beginning on Page 26 ).

When the target is purchased as part of a system, it is calibrated at the

factory before shipping. If the target is purchased separately, then the

user must calibrate it, or enter the HLI-supplied calibration factors into

Lathe 9, before use. An alignment\calibration fixture and a target stand,

available from Hamar Laser, are required for calibration. The procedure

is outlined in Appendix C, beginning on Page 31.

The R-358 Computerized Interface

The R-358 Computer Interface provides high accuracy (resolution is .00001 in. or 0.0005 mm) for downloading live target

data into a computer. It attaches to the computer with a cable and is powered by a lithium ion battery for up to 8 hours of

life. The battery automatically turns on when the target starts taking measurements and turns off when the program is

closed down. An AC adapter/charger is provided, and the unit features "charging" and "power" LED indicators.

Hamar Laser’s Lathe9 Alignment Software

Hamar Laser provides alignment software as standalone

programs. The latest software is Lathe9. For aligning transfer-

line spindles, we offer Spindle8 Software.

Lathe9 offers a user-guided, six-step process to check the

alignment of lathes, turning centers, multi-turn machines and

spindles in other machines.

Figure 5 – T-261A Four-Axis Target

Figure 7– Lathe9, Step 6 – Tailstock/Turret Alignment

Interpreting the Plus and Minus Signs in the Live Displays

The signs of the data displays indicate the position

(high/low or left/right) of the target is relative to

the laser beam. See the interpretation below.

Note the T-261 provide 4 simultaneous axes:

•Vertical Center

•Horizontal Center

•Vertical Angle

•Horizontal Angle

Vertical Axis

A +V center

value indicates the target is higher

than the laser beam.

A +V angular value indicates the back of the target

is higher than the front of the target.

A –V center value indicates the target is lower than

the laser beam.

A-V angular value indicates the back of the target

is lower than the front of the target.

Horizontal Axis

A +H center value indicates the target is to the

right of the laser beam.

A +H angular value indicates the back of the target

is to the right of the front of the target.

A –H center value indicates the target is to the left

of the laser beam.

A -H angular value means the back of the target is

to the left of the front of the target.

Preparing for an Alignment

There are several preparations that need to be made before beginning a measurement or alignment process. Ensure that

accurate records are kept for all procedures.

Lathe9 is designed to measure and align the spindle axis of rotation (AOR) to the tailstock, saddle or turret guideways. It

is also used to check the four-axis alignment of the tailstock or subspindle to the headstock AOR. The software fully

compensates for mounting errors of both the laser and target with extremely accurate results.

In lathe alignment, the L-702/L-702SP is mounted in the headstock spindle and aligned to the AOR. The T-261 Target is

then mounted in the tailstock chuck or in a fixture on the saddle, and then the straightness and flatness of the guideways is

measured relative to the L-702/L-702SP laser. The least-squares, best-fit algorithm is used to calculate the slope of the

“best-fit” line for the straightness data. This slope is a measure of the headstock alignment to the lathe guideways.

If the headstock rotation axis (AOR) is parallel (aligned) to the guideways, only then can the tailstock center or a

subspindle AOR be checked for alignment to the headstock AOR. The T-261 offers a live four-axis display of the

tailstock, subspindle or turret centers or AOR relative to the laser beam (headstock AOR).

Hardware Mounting

Both the L-702/L-702SP Laser and T-261 Target have a standardized .4995 in. (12.69

mm) mounting stud that simplifies fixturing and that can be removed to adapt the unit to

custom fixtures or other alignment applications. A .500 in. reamed hole that is square to a

face is all that is required to mount the laser/target mounting stud. The mounting stud also

has a ¼-20 threaded hole in the end of it.

Typically, the laser is mounted in the headstock chuck or collet. For large lathes, this may

involve creating a fixture to hold the laser in place. The T-261 is mounted in the tailstock

chuck, subspindle chuck or the turret center.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The spindle to be aligned should be checked thoroughly to ensure that it is clean and working properly. The window on

the T-261 should be clean and free from dirt, thumbprints and other smudges. The same applies to the L-702SP

pentaprism.

Tools and Equipment

Determine all the necessary tools and equipment (other than what Hamar Laser supplies) that will be needed for

performing an alignment, such as torque wrenches, shims, and equipment manuals.

Other Considerations

•Measure the travel distance of the tailstock, subspindle or turret. This information is necessary for the software setup.

Use only the distance that the unit realistically travels during use, not the full distance of which it is capable.

•Keep records of all procedures. Log all data file names and keep record copies of all reports and printed data.
