Using MAGIE Curved Surfaces Bracket for Internal Alignment on Gas & Steam Turbines:
• Project Scope: there was a need to stabilize a Laser Tracker for turbine internal measurements using a tripod or standard magnetic mount. Often, additional bracketing had to be machined or components removed to use these traditional mounting methods.
• ACQUIP PERFORMANCE: ACQUIP saw the need for a magnetic mounting system for the Laser Tracker to be used on curved surfaces in Turbines and other applications.
• ACQUIP Services tested the mounting system on numerous steam and gas turbine internal alignment applications. This magnetic bracketing system allowed ACQUIP to mount the Laser Tracker at virtually any axially position of a turbine. Using this magnetic bracket on curved surfaces speeded up the time needed for setup and reduced the number of moves needed during the measurement process of a turbine, thus increasing accuracy of the readings.
• RESULTS: ACQUIP recognized the value of this curved surface magnetic bracket not just for internal use but also for other applications in the metrology industry. ACQUIP applied for and received a US Patent for the bracketing system. This curved surface magnetic bracket is now known as the ➡ MAGIE. It is an indispensable tool for mounting laser trackers to measure Steam & Gas Turbines. The MAGIE is also being used to mount other metrology devices such as arms and scanners, and has proved to be a compact stable mounting system for laser trackers on almost any non-flat ferrous surface and especially in turbines. ✔
