Rotatek offers innovative solutions for the installation, alignment and inspection of vertical hydro turbines. Utilizing an application specific hydro power alignment system, NIST traceable laser tracker system, and precision measurement gauges Rotatek’s precision hydro turbine services offer significant advantages over traditional methods like plumb lines, spirit levels, and manual gauges.
Hydro Turbine Alignment is is critical to ensure that the rotor and stator components are concentric and that the axial and radial clearances between the rotating and stationary components are within acceptable limits.
Unlike traditional alignment methods using a straight edges, or dial indictors, ROTATEK field engineers utilize state-of-the-art laser equipment for unparalleled accuracy, precision and measurement acquisition time.
Industrial turbine alignment is a complex process that requires careful planning, attention to detail and highly skilled operators in order to achieve accurate, reliable results in a timely and efficient manner.
Laser trackers operate by measuring two angles and a distance. The tracker sends a laser beam to a retroreflective target held against the object being measured. As light is reflected off the target, it bounced back and re-enters the tracker at the same position it left and is measured by a distance meter, measuring the distance between the tracker and target.
