Laser centering

RMCE offers professional laser rotor alignment services in the power generation industry. Precise alignment of rotating machinery is a key element, affecting the reliability, efficiency and durability of equipment. The process is designed to reduce mechanical stresses on coupling elements, which directly translates into less wear and tear on parts, reduced vibration and lower operating costs.

Performed by us The alignment operation is performed using modern laser centering systems that guarantee high accuracy and repeatability of measurements. We use two systems for alignment:

ROTALIGN Touch by Pruftechnik

It is one of the best devices on the market, offering advanced features and an intuitive user interface. Thanks to ROTALIGN Touch enables precise alignment with minimal interference with equipment operation, reducing downtime and optimizing the maintenance process. The device provides high accuracy measurements and enables comprehensive reporting of results.

Acoem's Fixturlaser EXO

This device is specially designed for EX (explosive atmospheres) operation, which allows it to be used safely in high-risk areas, such as power facilities. Fixturlaser The EXO features simplicity of operation, making it an ideal choice for mass centering measurements. Thanks to its ergonomic design and high environmental resistance, the EXO performs well in harsh environments.

We perform optical centering measurements as part of comprehensive renovation work or as a separate service.

Advantages

Used technical solutions enable the achievement of the intended goals:

  • precisely - Resolution of measurements in hundredths of a millimeter;
  • quickly - the system is ready for assembly on rotors from a wide range of diameters and sizes of couplings, no tooling is required as in, for example, dial gauge method;
  • comprehensively - the results are automatically comparable with the data from the ISO standard, the measurements can take into account the thermal expansion of machine elements responsible for the centering, the system calculates the positioning corrections of the machine elements in two planes based on the geometry of the machine set defined before measurements.
