The gauge shown to
the right is used for comparative
assessment of turbine blades to a
known master, prior to fitment to
the final assembly. Used as an aid
for selective assembly towards
balancing the fixture provides the
following features.“Digital test
indicator with integral data
collection”
The digital setting clock on this
tool is capable of collecting
measurement data and exporting this
to a computer for statistical
analysis via a tool such as NWA
Quality Analyst or mini-tab.
“Integral setting master”
The selective assembly for
balancing requires that each blade
is assessed not to drawing - but to
a consistent datum part. Once
assessed, the serial number of the
turbine blade is recorded onto the
part and assembled to the rotor for
final balancing. |
