Abstract

A laser alignment system (04) for measuring an alignment of rotating machine parts (01, 02), including at least one first laser transceiver (06). The first laser transceiver (06) includes an evaluation unit (12) and a web server (13) having a network interface for making data of the evaluation unit (12) available via a standardized communications protocol. A method for preprocessing measurement results of a laser alignment system (04), in which the measurement results are made available by a web server (13) and can be displayed in a client (17).

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A laser alignment system for measuring an alignment of rotating machine parts comprising:

at least one first laser transceiver unit, the first laser transceiver unit including an evaluation unit and a web server having a network interface for providing data of the evaluation unit via a standardized communication protocol.

12. The laser alignment system as recited in claim 11 wherein the network interface is a wireless network interface.

13. The laser alignment system as recited in claim 11 further comprising a reflector or a second laser transceiver unit.

14. The laser alignment system as recited in claim 13 further comprising the second laser transceiver unit, the second laser transceiver unit including a second web server.

15. The laser alignment system as recited in claim 11 wherein the web server is provided by software.

16. The laser alignment system as recited in claim 11 further comprising a router.

17. The laser alignment system as recited in claim 11 further comprising a terminal remote from the evaluation unit and configured as a client able to access the data provided by the web server.

18. The laser alignment system as recited in claim 17 wherein the remote terminal is a PDA, tablet, smart phone or laptop.

20. The method as recited in claim 17 wherein configuration data entered via the client permitting the alignment system to be configured is transmitted to the web server.

19. A method for processing measurement results of a laser alignment system comprising the following steps:

storing the measurement results;

generating and providing a dynamic document, the dynamic document including at least the measurement results, with the aid of a web server; and

transmitting the dynamic document to a client with the aid of a standardized protocol.
