Gas Turbine Inspection in 3 Hours

The ability to combine the most advanced measurement technology with our experience in turbine alignment is the basis of our state-of-the-art process. What we have created is an innovative alignment technique that can complete a tops-on inspection of a 3 bearing gas turbine, in only 3 hours. This alignment process is exclusive to Schaeffer Precision Alignment, Inc., it was custom engineered, rigorously tested, and proven successful. The implementation of this process will expedite the overall inspection time and alignment process; it also eliminates human error in measurement data and reduces the impact of thermal movement on the alignment process.

Repeatable Precision up to 0.001"

In favorable environmental conditions our technicians are capable of repeating inspections and individual measurements at a precision of up to one thousandths of an inch or 0.001".

Proven Alignment Technology

All previous alignment methods, including optical bore alignment only provide data of the center point locations. Our innovative process completely eliminates the ‘optical bore alignment method.’ The inspection process is designed to provide you with superior measurement data, including: the bore center location, concentricity, radial distances, and axial distances.

State-of-the-art dimensional metrology developed specifically for turbine alignment.

Receive All the Alignment Data

Our technicians have the capability to provide measurement data (spreadsheets and graphs) while onsite. Easy to understand data that provides you with the raw measurements as well as a visual outlook.
