Steam Turbine Internal Laser Alignment
ACQUIP's steam turbine internal laser alignment service for GE and Westinghouse Steam Turbines is extremely quick, accurate, and effective and dramatically decreases the possibility of human error. It saves days when compared to tight wire and optical methods. When our service Engineers perform steam turbine internal laser blade ring alignment, they produce accuracy to within 1 micron. It is achieved by first shooting a laser line through the approximate center of all blade rings or diaphragms in order to create a static point of reference. Our adjustable bore specific bracketing system is then employed in order to probe the surface of each of the diaphragms, glands, nozzle, oil deflectors, bearing brackets, and ascertain the exact center position. The data points are recorded in the computer and adjusted for rotor sag, dynamic movement, and tops on to tops off deviation. The appropriate line for the machine is then determined and all components are laser aligned to the correct position. With ACQUIP, the blade ring or diaphragm alignment process for GE or Westinghouse Steam Turbines is quick, cost-effective, and produces precise repeatable readings. The speed, accuracy, and effectiveness of the ACQUIP laser steam turbine internal alignment method can be applied to steam or gas turbines of varying sizes. If you have GE steam turbines or Westinghouse steam turbines, ACQUIP should be your fist choice for steam turbine internal laser alignment. |
