Wow, it has been a few months since I last posted a travelogue.\u00a0 Pat and I have not been on the road since our fateful trip last October (2022) when we were in Corning, IA for the \u201ccousins reunion\u201d and Pat ended up having emergency surgery in Omaha<\/p>\n
I am in Centennial, CO at NTT this week to participate in two different activities.\u00a0 Monday involved a project to research why we are having significant problems with our shaft alignment laser systems.\u00a0 Tuesday through Thursday I am participating as a \u201cconsultant\u201d for a revised class that we are preparing to market.<\/p>\n
NTT has two shaft alignment laser systems.\u00a0 All three of the instructors have experienced significant issues with the readings that did not at all agree with alignments that the students performed with dial indicators.\u00a0 We sent the units out to be calibrated, but still experienced strange results.\u00a0 I spent all day Monday and parts of the next three days doing all kinds of measurements including the use of a test bar that I made in my shop.\u00a0 It appears that the lasers are very sensitive to accidental minute twisting on the shaft.\u00a0 We have approval to order one new unit.\u00a0 Once we receive that unit, I will retest the old unit and perform the same tests on the new unit.<\/p>\n
The rest of the week several of us participated in the \u201cbeta test\u201d of a majorly revised \u201crigging\u201d class.<\/p>\n
That is all for this travelogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
