Shaft Alignment Training

Engineering Dynamics is a leading Shaft Alignment Training Company worldwide. Our 4 day Competency Certificate Course is aligned with the ANSI standard for Shaft Alignment. Our Laser Alignment Training will teach you hands-on skills that will ensure that you are ready to align machines when back at your company or next time you visit your client. We have structured our training material and practicals to allow everyone maximum time on the training rigs and with our Easy-Laser Range of Instruments.

As an individual you can join our public courses – see dates below – in Pretoria at our Laser Training Center. If you are a larger group, we can present the training onsite with our portable rigs – anywhere in Africa.

Instrument Orientation is always included with any Easy-Laser system sale. We will show you how to use the instrument (pressing the buttons) for 2-3 hours – free of charge at our Pretoria office. We can also travel to you at general rates for onsite training to cover our travel costs, time and accomodation. If you have new people or need a refresher course on any Easy-Laser models, we will gladly assist (and also show the latest models for an attractive trade-in….). No Competency Certificate is provided.

Who should attend:

Engineers, artisans, technicians or anyone who learned his trade on dial indicators and wants to do the conversion to lasers or needs a refresher on the basics of Laser Shaft Alignment.

4-Day Shaft Alignment Competency Course

Our 4 day intensive alignment course are either presented onsite or at our Laser Training Center in Pretoria.

After intensive practical tests are passed together with a written exam, we provide a Competency Certificate to attendees.
