Plan Your Shaft Alignment Job
June 2, 2009
The first step towards a successful alignment is to have a good plan. Know how much time you have, check the machine history for problems that have occurred in the past or exist in the present and use a detailed checklist to make sure you have all the tools and resources to complete the job correctly while on-site the very first time. Plan your work and work your plan!
