Ticket Price: Purpose of Seminar:It is no secret that downtime is expensive. Regardless of the precautions youve taken and preventive maintenance practicesyouve implemented, sometimes things just go wrong and you need it fixed now. But in order to fix it you must know how toisolate and define the problem, and thats what this course is all about teaching you how to quickly and accuratelytroubleshoot so that you can avoid costly downtime.In this course well provide the student a new perspective on troubleshooting mechanical and rotating equipment. Rather thanteaching about "equipment specific" situations well take a more novel approach. Well teach you to troubleshoot based on thecommon components that make up a piece of specified equipment so that you can go back to the workplace and troubleshootjust about anything regardless of its function, design or manufacturer. You will learn about basic mechanical applications,failures, life expectancy and maintenance of shafts, bearings, couplings, chains, sprockets, bushings, gears, belts, sheavesand other mechanical components. Youll learn what data to measure, track and trend, so that when equipment fails you canget quick answers to what is wrong. Most importantly you will learn how to find and fix the real problems with your equipment,and not just the symptoms. No matter what type of equipment you may confront on the job, after attending this seminar you willhave the tools & skills to properly troubleshoot just about any problem you may encounter.

Who should take this course?This seminar is a must for anyone who works with mechanical and rotating equipment at industrial plants, utilities orcommercial and private building facilities. General maintenance personnel, workers in cross-training programs, electriciansand engineers will find this course extremely useful. Attendees come from a wide variety of industries, skill-levels, companysizes, and job titles, so if you're not sure you'll fit in or will benefit from the class, don't worry - you will - as long as you work withmechanical or rotating equipment!People who will benefit from attending this seminar include...Maintenance Personnel in:
