ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for statically aligning, checking or monitoring the alignment of a first shaft with a second shaft, one shaft being preferably chosen as a reference shaft to which the other shaft is aligned, the apparatus comprising a first mount means mounted on the first shaft and having mounted thereon a first dual-axis radiation sensing means and means for providing a first radiation beam, a second mount means mounted on the second shaft and having mounted thereon a second dual-axis radiation sensing means and means for providing a second radiation beam, the first radiation beam oriented to impinge upon the second dual-axis radiation sensing means to generate a second signal, the second radiation beam oriented to impinge upon the first dual-axis radiation sensing means to generate a first signal, and readout means having defined alignment conditions responsive to the first signal and the second signal for visually displaying shaft alignment, with alignment of the two shafts indicated by the first signal and the second signal coinciding with the defined alignment conditions.
