Laser Shaft Alignment 1 Flex


Course number : 8600014    ID : 67702    Program Code : 011:FlexFA26

« back to classes page
Misalignment is one of the most common and most expensive causes of premature bearing, seal, and coupling failure in rotating equipment. Laser shaft alignment has become the global standard for correcting it, producing faster and more precise results than dial indicators or a straight edge and feeler gauges, without the indicator sag, reading resolution limits, and parallax errors those older methods introduce.
In this hands-on course you will install, configure, adjust, and operate a laser shaft alignment system to bring mechanical power transmission shafts into precision alignment. You will practice laser system safety rules, use jackbolts to perform rough alignments, detect and correct soft foot with the laser system, and determine the proper alignment tolerances for a machine from the manufacturer's documentation.
This course prepares you to test for the Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) C-302 Laser Shaft Alignment 1 certification.

Notice

Please read: 

FLEX FORMAT: This course is offered in Hawkeye's Flex format at the second floor of the Automation and Robotics Center (ARC). Flex is competency-based and a flipped classroom: you complete the theory in the Learning Management System (LMS) online on your own schedule, then come to the ARC open lab to practice and demonstrate hands-on skills on the matching industrial trainers. You advance by demonstrating skill mastery of each competency, not seat time. Flex lab nights are Monday–Thursday, 5:00–9:00 pm, with an instructor and lab assistant on duty; the lab is also open for independent work Monday–Thursday from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm, and Fridays 8:00 am–4:00 pm. The subject-matter expert for this course is scheduled for Tuesday night; plan to attend that night each week for in-depth help and hands-on competency testing. Rolling enrollment: start any week. Refer to your registration form or class details for the timeline to complete the course from your start date. This course aligns with the SACA C-101 Associate-Basic Operations micro-credential. The course fee includes two attempts at the SACA Silver (knowledge) exam and one attempt at the SACA Gold (hands-on) exam, administered at the ARC.

 

DEVICE AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: The online portion of this course uses a Learning Management System (LMS). Click for minimum device requirements to access LMS! Students without a qualifying device may borrow a Hawkeye laptop by requesting the Laptop Checkout Form; the student is responsible for repair or replacement costs if the laptop is damaged, lost, or stolen. Safety glasses (one pair provided) and closed-toe shoes are required at all times in the ARC lab.
