COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of laser alignment. It covers the laser alignment techniques and maximum utilization of existing FixturLaser functions; the importance of proper shaft alignment and the symptoms of misalignment; the foundations, baseplate, piping effects and various types of couplings, flexible and rigid couplings; the alignment and coupling tolerances and the preliminary alignment checks; the different lasers and detectors systems and the advantages of laser alignment; and laser alignment procedures, mathematical relationships and “on board” laser alignment calculations. 

 

At the end of the course, participants will be able to carryout adjustments for thermal growth; identify “hot” alignment versus “cold” alignment and moving machinery in the field; evaluate alignment considerations for specific equipment including electric motors, pumps, gear boxes, compressors, cooling towers, blowers & fans & internal combustion engines; and prevent misalignment severity and vibrations caused by misalignment.
