Patent ID: 8607635

Claim:
Device for measuring an alignment state and for vibration measurement, comprising an electronic evaluation device, a first housing containing a first optoelectronic unit for at least one of transmitting and receiving, a second housing containing one of a reflector and a second optoelectronic unit for at least one of transmitting and receiving, at least one of the first and second optoelectronic units being connected to the electronic evaluation device, and at least one vibration sensor for vibration measurement, the vibration sensor being connected to at least one of the first and second optoelectronic units for at least one of transmitting and receiving, wherein the electronic evaluation unit is adapted to determine a characteristic for the quality of alignment of a rotary machine from alignment data from the first and second optoelectronic units and vibration data obtained with the vibration sensor and to output a combination value from which both an instantaneous vibration state and success of the alignment can be determined.
