Optical method
theodolite (optical
alignment telescope)
Rotating bracket with
optical target
The best accurancy
0.01 mm
CENTRALIGN
Piano wire method

Steel wire approx.
0.5 mm dia.

CENTRALIGN
Alignment measurement using

dummy shaft
First dummy shaft centered in mediumpressure section
Second dummy shaft centered in LP-1
section
Every of dummy shaft has to be align
separately

Alignment measurement
using dummy shaft
Inside micrometer used
to measure dummy shaft
position from left, right and
below
Dummy shaft centered
according to rotor position
Time consumption
Dummy shaft sag line
different to the original rotor
sag

4 Hour Record
Laser-based system measures
high & medium pressure stages
of a turbine in record time
Operators are under immense economic
pressure these days to run plant nonstop and trouble-free, with less and less
time allowed for planned maintenance
outages. On average a turbine needs
overhauling every 5 years and the
alignment in particular is especially timeconsuming, requiring highly skilled
expert attention. A way to cut the
measurement time alone from several
days to just a few hours has again been
demonstrated on a 320 MW Turbine in
Rossano, Calabria.
