John-Paul manages Benchmark PDM’s every day activities including the service and rental department, with a focus on providing sales and support to the sales network across Canada for Easy-Laser alignment & measurement systems. He assists in training mechanics, millwrights, tradespeople and laser alignment end-users on how to perform the correct measurements when dealing with rotating machinery. He also goes out into the field to help companies in all types of industries to align their machines with precision alignment technology saving them time and money.

Half-day (4-hour) interactive workshop
Exact time: 1:00PM to 5:00PM
Description:
This workshop will cover the detection and removal of what we call the roadblocks to achieving correct installation or re-installation of a machine. This is mainly the removal of machine stress with a focus on flatness or level of a machine base and of course, the biggest roadblock of all – misalignment. Using laser alignment and measurement equipment, we go through the applicable measurement programs, where to use them and why. We also run through important and realistic situations that prevent proper shaft alignment like navigating around bolt bound and base bound issues or thermal machine growth.
This workshop will use the ANSI Shaft Alignment Methodology as a guideline as well as cover the required elements of the new Canadian Machinery Vibration Association (CMVA) shaft alignment certification program.
