Abstract:
1. Device for quantitative assessment of the relative orientation of two machines which have shafts that are rotatable about axes that are parallel and offset in a radial direction relative to one another, comprising: auxiliary devices in the form of extenders on which at least one of light transmitting and receiving devices is mountable without a precision pivot bearing, said auxiliary devices having a coupling means for coupling each of the auxiliary devices to an end of the shaft of a respective one of the two machines so as to rotate with rotation of the shaft, and wherein at least one of the auxiliary devices has a means for enabling linear adjustment and fixing of the position of the one of the at least one of the light transmitting and receiving devices on the respective auxiliary device so that the light transmitting and receiving devices on the extenders are alignable in multiple rotational positions of the shafts.
