Our core business at Benchmark is training.

We started out teaching shaft to shaft alignment using dial sets in either Rim and Face or Reverse Dial procedures. It has since developed into a complete two-day machinery installation course. Our course is designed to be a very practical, hands on, nuts and bolts approach to training. We can show the end user what is behind a laser system and what technology is being used. This leads to a clear understanding of what is being done during the alignment process. Our programs now include condition monitoring techniques, belt alignment, shaft alignment with either dial sets or a laser system and geometric measurement (for advanced programs). Our training sessions can include all of our programs or can be custom-adapted to fit the needs of your company.
