The purpose of this course is to provide the successful participant with the knowledge and skills necessary to improve plant reliability and availability while increasing the effectiveness of your equipment alignment program.

Misalignment continues to rank as the number one source of premature machinery failures. Regardless of the precision alignment method used, dial indicators or laser systems, knowledge of the basics is a must.

Over the past several years, the level of awareness concerning the importance of accurate and precise shaft alignment has increased dramatically and shaft alignment has taken a more important role when installing and maintaining machinery.

The effective use of any alignment process will enhance the reliability and availability of plant equipment and overall plant performance. Machinery alignment, when properly understood and used, will increase that most desirable quality of reliable trouble free operation of your facilities rotating equipment.

Describe and demonstrate the proper procedures for performing rotating equipment alignment using various procedures.

Understand and describe the impact of various alignment problems on rotating equipment efficiency and reliability.

Through effective alignment procedures, decrease equipment downtime while at the same time reducing  bottom line costs.

Resolve difficult issues such as "soft foot" conditions in a practical, no-nonsense manner.
