MANF 2463 — Precision Alignment and Support Systems
Sem: S 2 Lec./2 Lab Hrs./week Prerequisites: MANF 2024 Mechanical Drives with a grade of “C” or better. This course is designed to teach precision alignment, vibration analysis and the operation of industrial quality components. Laser precision alignment simultaneously measures and indicates the corrective action for vertical and horizontal parallel misalignment and vertical and horizontal angular alignment. The vibration analysis system teaches the use of vibration analysis to determine when to perform maintenance of power transmission components. The students apply skills developed using mechanical drives and bearings while using industry- relevant skills in the proper installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of conveyors and conveyor support systems. Safety procedures and practices are emphasized. A lab fee is required.
