With the PRÜFTECHNIK laser
based PERMALIGN
Service it is possible to monitor and document both the relative
and absolute machine movements from initial start-up to full
operating conditions to determine and resolve machine issues.
Typical applications for the PERMALIGN monitoring
Service are:
- Steam & Gas turbines
- Compressors
- Gearboxes
- Pump Sets
The service is not limited to monitoring the positions of
shaft-coupled machines, the measurement also allows precise
monitoring of an extremely wide variety of structures, such
as those encountered in steel mills, machine tool fabrication,
or building construction.
Graphical reporting software produces clear alignment data/results
and lists the complete details of current or stored alignment
conditions, even over extended periods of time.
Testimonial:
Experience with the PERMALIGN system on a high speed turbo-machine
highlighted the following:
1) Conventional ‘hot checks’ do not provide
an accurate measure of the actual ‘running’ alignment
condition for steam turbine applications.
2) Loads from the piping, etc. can contribute significantly
to the running alignment condition. In summary the PERMALIGN
system provides an economical way to accurately measure the
‘thermal growth signature’ of critical rotating
machinery. |
