Job record
Everything below travels with the readings into the report and the export.
Train
The movable machine is the one that gets shimmed and moved.
Units
Angularity reads the same number either way — 1 mil/in = 1 mm/m — so the tolerance table holds across both systems.
Sign convention
Locked for the whole job. Verify against a known move before you trust a correction.
Vertical: positive = movable shaft centerline is HIGH.
Horizontal: looking from the stationary machine toward the movable machine, positive = RIGHT.
Indicators: reading goes positive as the plunger is compressed. Zero at 12 o'clock.
Stations: all distances measured from the reference plane, increasing toward the movable machine.
Records sync
Connect once with the crew code. From then on, signed captures save straight into the crew's records vault.
Soft foot
Indicator on the foot, loosen one bolt at a time, record the rise. Clear this before you touch alignment.
Result
Pre-oiling & barring-over — before first rotation
Every line proven before the shaft turns. Edit items to match the maker's commissioning record; the client's must-have list drops straight in here.
First-rotation readiness
Method
Pick what's actually on the machine right now. Every method resolves to one centerline.
Geometry
All distances from the reference plane, positive toward the movable machine.
Readings
Zero at 12 o'clock, sweep the full 360, key each position.
Point the camera at the tech's field sheet or the instrument display. Extracted numbers always come back for confirmation before they touch the record — nothing applies itself.
Targets — thermal growth
Cold offsets you want to land on so the machine runs true hot. Leave at zero for a true cold align.
Targets are stated at the coupling centre, in the same sign convention as the readings.
Coupling condition
Moves
Applied at the movable machine's feet.
Rotor record
Runout protocol per position — value and angle, the way the shop's finding reports read.
Runout stations
TIR at each position along the rotor; the phase angle of the high spot is optional but unlocks the bow check.
Runout results
Bore capture
Diaphragm, bearing and casing bores referenced to one axis.
InputStations
Paste field capture
Deviation from reference axis
Engine record
Web-deflection limits are engine-specific — take them from the maker's records for this engine, never from a generic table.
Crank web deflection
Gauge between the webs, zero at the near-bottom start position (B1), then read at the exhaust side (E), top (T), camshaft side (C) and near-bottom finish (B2). Vertical = T − mean(B1,B2). Horizontal = E − C.
B1 and B2 should land near the same number — the closure column shows the difference. A large closure means the gauge moved or the turning wasn't smooth: re-sweep that unit.

First-rotation readiness
Field notes
Signature
Technician sign-off. Signs the readings as captured.
Output
Print uses your device's Save as PDF destination. Signature and all computed results are embedded in the printed record.
AI engineering review
Sends the computed snapshot — never raw keys or client credentials — for a second set of eyes before sign-off.
