We’re happy to announce that our new training center is now open!
Owner John Lambert says,
“This is a space where we can focus on giving the correct training to mechanics, millwrights, service technicians, laser alignment end-users, industry maintenance professionals, etc. – anyone who is in the business of machinery installation.
One of our focuses in 2016 will be our new Easy-Laser E975 Roll Alignment tool. Belterra, one of our customers in Western Canada this year, is using it (in conjunction with the Easy-Laser E970 Parallel tool) and finding success moving, correcting and aligning rolls live time!
Just recently, we performed a successful demonstration of the system at a large metal-forming company. It is very encouraging to see their excitement when they can see that they can move the rolls live time in both vertical and horizontal planes while keeping the alignment process very accurate.
Recently Qulliq Energy Corp. in Iqaluit, Nunavut purchased a mid-range Easy-Laser 540 system. Included in the purchase was a machinery installation package that came with instrument training as well as some real world alignment work in the field.
Easy-Laser® launches a free app for the E290 Digital Level. Using the Precision Level app, an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch can be used as a separate display to follow the adjustment. Alignment is therefore more efficient because there is no need to move back and forth between the level and the machine adjustment points.
Recently, some employees were sent to Sweden to get some additional product training on geometric laser measurement and vibration measurement. The first stop was Easy-Laser headquarters just outside of Gothenburg.
Our first new MAAD Training session kicked off last week with some great feedback from the participants. For most it was “much better” then expected. One participant said, “I can’t wait for the next opportunity to use this new information!” Our next Training session is in June. For more information on MAAD training go to our Training page here and contact us now.
Recently, BENCHMARK PDM trainers were called to go a couple of hours northeast to a Utilities company that needed some on-site training for an Easy-Laser shaft alignment tool purchased not long ago. Usually, on-site or “on the job” training sessions aren’t offered because it is hard to teach each tradesmen, mechanic or millwright the specifics of the shaft alignment tool and then do it real-time with them retaining all of the information.
Over the last month or so, Mike Kruis – the Lead Service Technician at KSB Pumps Canada – has been traveling around Ontario to various customers that have their pumps installed at their facilities. These pumps are being newly installed or re-installed after having some work done on them. When the pumps are installed Mike uses his Easy-Laser E710 system to align the pumps shaft to the motors or moveable machines shaft. Below are just a few comments from Mike and also some of the feedback he’s received over the past month or two.
It’s always nice to mix business with pleasure. BENCHMARK PDM and Durham College have been working together for some time over the years on different training sessions with their students, such as teaching shaft to shaft laser alignment. In a recent case, a great opportunity presented itself to train some of the Durham instructors on the difference between using an optical measuring tool (they usually use) and their own geometric laser measurement tool
New videos for the Base Twist program and the new Multipoint Method for non-rotating shafts. Watch a free step by step video demo on how to measure base twist/distortion with the Base Twist program in the E710 Shaft alignment system. Also, a new measuring method introduced by Easy-Laser called the Multipoint measuring method allows for measurement of non-rotatable shafts, usually found in larger machines such as turbines. Also, included in this method is the Quality Assessment scale to show the quality of the alignment.
