What is the desired orientation of the target sensor during laser bore alignment?

The desired orientation of the target sensor during laser bore alignment is centered with support rods at one end. This alignment is crucial for achieving accurate measurements and ensuring that the laser is properly aligned with the bore of the equipment being tested or installed. Positioning the target sensor in the center with support rods creates a stable reference point, allowing for a precise measurement of alignment along the intended axis.

Having the target sensor centered minimizes potential errors that can arise from misalignment or displacement and enhances the overall accuracy of the laser alignment process. Additionally, this setup allows for consistent readings, making it easier to identify any adjustments needed to align the machinery correctly. By ensuring that the sensor is properly oriented, technicians can achieve optimal alignment necessary for the efficient operation of rotating equipment.
