Steam Turbine Alignment Services
At Schaeffer Precision Alignment, we are a nationally recognized leader in the dimensional measurement and inspection of steam turbine systems for alignment, rebuilds, or problem solving. We use next-generation laser tracker systems backed by real-time data recording, 3D graphical presentation, custom reporting, and consultative analysis.
Why Schaeffer Precision?
We provide error-free 360° inspection of volumes up to 200’ with 0.001” repeatable accuracy. Our turbine alignment inspections are 83% faster than traditional methods. We ensure data integrity by using specialized control points to verify measurement tolerances. Our method is independent of gravity, able to calculate axis points using a free orientation axis that results in a higher level of precision near the area of inspection. In less than three hours, our seasoned technicians can employ our exclusive alignment techniques for tops-on or tops-off 18-station inspections on any 3 bearing steam turbine.
Our Team of Highly Qualified Metrology Experts are Here to Help
Free ConsultationInternal Alignment Inspection
Our custom-engineered alignment process eliminates the use of traditional optical alignment methods. We quickly help you find components that are out of range, require replacement, or improve turbine efficiency using easy-to-read and customizable data that measures bore center location, radial distances, concentricity, and axial distances. We use as-built visual modeling to anticipate vibration and misalignment, ensuring geometrically correct motion for your equipment.

Thermal Growth Inspection
Our laser tracker will perform real-time thermal growth measurements to help predict heat expansion while machinery is at rest or during post-operational enlargement. Excessive heat may cause high vibration and power consumption. Our portable laser tracker will analyze thermal growth on-site and help visualize the thermodynamic state of your steam turbine, providing unlimited measurement flexibility and 0.03mm repeatable accuracy.
