Shaft Alignment: Reverse Dial and Laser

This course is designed to familiarize participants with equipment and procedures for aligning shafts using the reverse dial method and using a laser system. After completing this course, participants should be able to prepare and set up equipment for a reverse dial alignment and for laser-based alignment. They should also be able to measure shaft misalignment and determine how the misalignment should be corrected. Finally, participants should be able to correct shaft misalignment so that the alignment is within specified tolerances.
