More Information
Accurately aligning shafts can prevent a large number of machinery breakdowns and reduce much of the unplanned downtime that results in a loss of production.
Machines that have been precision aligned run longer, and cost less to run. Misalignment greatly reduces the life of bearings, seals, shafts and couplings. This course will provide an overview of the benefits of alignment, soft foot correction, dial-indicator and laser alignment methods, and how to move the machine.
This may include: Mechanical, Electrical Engineers, Reliability Managers, Ship Managers, Technical Superintendents, Ship Masters, Shipyards Technical Staff, Surveyors, Insurance Inspectors, Naval Architects, Marine Engineers, Etc.
Prerequisites
Engineers and technicians with enough experience in alignment and machinery vibrations knowledge
