Printing Roller Alignment using Jig Transits
To minimize waste product and maintenance costs, roll
Electro-Optical systems must be levelled and aligned accurately. This
Metrology alignment involves positioning each individual roll in the
Applications horizontal and vertical directions, in relation to each other
and generally with reference to some given datum.

Laser Tracker Checking Rolls for Level

Accessories
A precision sight level (left) should be positioned to obtain a
Workshop Roughness, clear view of an optical tooling scale, which will be placed
Roundness & Form directly on the top of the roll in a vertical position.
Applications The precision sight level will allow a level plane to be
established by rotating the telescope to any position within a
Dimensional
360 degree circle and then bringing the telescope to level using the coincidence vial. Then, readings may be
Measurement taken from optical tooling scales at various locations relative to this level plane.
Applications
It is the relative difference between the measurements
Gauging & Transducers taken at the near and far ends of the roll that is of
Applications interest. The Talyvel electronic level can also be used to
check roll level and sag.

Checking rolls for parallelism
It is important that each roll is square to the centreline.

Precisely set the first jig transit over the centreline; this
gives an optical reference line, which is precisely parallel
to the machine centreline. The telescope part of the jig
transit should now be brought into the level position
using the coincidence vial, and focusing at infinity in
order to act as a reference collimator.

Position the second jig transit roughly over the offset centreline. Collimate the
crossaxis telescope of this second jig transit to the main telescope of the first jig
transit. Collimation is a simple, visual process by which infinityfocused
telescopes are set precisely parallel to each other. Basically, the crossaxis
telescope of the second jig transit looks down the barrel of the main telescope
of the first jig transit. At this point, the main telescope of the second jig transit
can sweep a vertical plane, which is precisely perpendicular to the offset
centreline (and which is parallel to the rolls).

When all possible rolls have been measured from this instrument position, move
the instrument to the next appropriate location, and repeat the measurement
process after the jig transit is again collimated to the reference instrument.
