MILL 132 - Machinery Alignment Procedures II

Credits 3
The objective of this course is to present the information required to identify, select and perform the standard machinery alignment procedures used by the Millwrights. This course will review pre-alignment inspections, soft foot analysis, rim and face dial indicating and graphical solutions discussed in Machinery Alignment Procedures I. Machinery Alignment Procedures II will cover in detail the reverse dial alignment processes and techniques for calculating and graphing shim corrections. Thermal expansion and growth calculations and graphing will also be covered.

Course Outcomes

Set up and perform reverse dial alignment procedures and calculations.
Calculate and correct bracket sag.
Calculate vertical and horizontal angularity and offset shim corrections using graphical and mathematical solutions.
Diagnose thermal expansion and growth on various machines and calculate necessary shimming offsets using mathematical formulas and graphs.
