MILL 142 - Machinery Alignment Procedures III

3 Credits
The objective of this course is to present the information required to identify, select, and perform the standard machinery alignment procedures used by Millwrights. This, the third of three courses on machinery alignment, will review Machinery Alignment Procedures I and II. Course III will cover vertical alignment, laser alignment, optical alignment, and music wire alignments. The use of electronic static micrometers, precision tilt levels, and Rotalign lasers will be incorporated. The final machinery alignment procedures test will be administered covering all three courses.

Course Outcomes

Perform vertical alignment using dial indicators and mathematical solutions including bolt pattern chord layout.
Perform precision optical instrument set up, two-peg testing, calculate HI, and calibrations.
Use and understand the capabilities of the current laser alignment systems being used by Millwrights in the industries.
Demonstrate the ability to correctly set up horizontal and vertical music wire alignment systems. Including plumb bob weight requirements, wire tying skills, electronic micrometer set up, wire sag calculation and static micrometer measurement.
