Alignment Methods and Application of Rotating Machinery and Trouble Shooting Course
Introduction:
The purpose of this course is to provide an explanation of the efficient technique for component condition monitoring, which can be used as a tool for root cause analysis and predictive maintenance. Along with the main reasons for failure, it covers installation, pre-commissioning planning, functional testing and commissioning, preventive maintenance techniques, and more. It also includes a world-class, tried-and-true root cause analysis approach with exercises and case studies.
Course Objectives:
At the end of this training course, you will learn:
· Guidelines for good coupling installation
· Solving common coupling problems and failure prevention
· Vibration monitoring related to coupling health and machinery performance
· Methods and practices for efficient alignment of rotating machine
· Use of classical reverse dial methodology and modern laser optic technique
· Develop an in-depth understanding of rotating equipment reliability optimization & continuous improvement and recognize the concept of organizing for world class operations particularly the characteristics and steps used toward pacesetter performance
· Review equipment failure patterns and maintenance effect on reliability and discern how maintenance influences equipment performance.
· Heighten awareness and understanding of root cause failure analysis (RCFA) by relating to its step by step process.
· Know the principle of predictive maintenance and be able to employ the various predictive maintenance & component condition monitoring techniques and apply its importance in rotating equipment reliability optimization and continuous improvement.
· Understand the concept of optimizing reliability particularly condition monitoring and predictive maintenance and be able to identify its components and importance
