Advanced / Level 3 Alignment Training

The four day Advanced and the five day Level 3 Certification Preparatory course are only recommended for those people who have taken the Basic/Level 1 or Intermediate/Level 2 course and have had 6 months to a year to practice what they learned in these courses or for those who have had at least 5 years of field experience in alignment.

Each student that attends the Advanced course receives a copy of the Shaft Alignment Handbook and a certificate of completion. Each student that attends the Level 3 course receives a copy of the Basic Shaft Alignment Workbook, a copy of the Shaft Alignment Handbook, a copy of the Shaft Alignment Self Study Guide, and a certificate of completion. We will train up to 20 people for in house courses conducted at your plant site.

Advanced/Level 3 Shaft Alignment Training Course Objectives

The Advanced and Level 3 Certification Preparatory Training Course is a lecture and lab workshop where the students will be doing hands-on work with machinery alignment demonstrators. After completing this course, the students will ...

- cover and review all the material in the Basic and Intermediate Shaft Alignment Courses

- learn how to plot the positions of three or more shafts onto scaled graphs for determining the optimum movement on multiple element drive trains

- practice a multiple element drive train alignment on the demonstrators

- practice plotting a right angled drive train alignment problem

- how to determine what kind of machinery is most likely to undergo movement from off-line to running conditions

- be able to select from a variety of techniques to measure how machinery moves from an off-line to a running condition

- practice plotting a drive train that undergoes off-line to running machinery movement to insure that the machines are positioned correctly off-line to attain optimum alignment accuracy when the machinery is running under normal operating conditions

- review a number of case histories showing how machines have moved from off-line to running conditions
