Digital Profile Mapping can be very useful for turbine Overhauling, Maintenance as well as installations of 3d mappings. You can save a lot of time & efforts both in an effective manner. Also, it will eliminate the hassle of frequently handling heavy components.

The Digital Profile Mapping or better known as the DPM can be an effective tool to analyse important activities that particularly deals with the real-time results in order to make even better & faster while taking decisions. The digital profile maps can save your day and safely protect the turbine from overhauling with accurate results. You will be able to eliminate the need for the various other conventional methods like frequent bolt tightening & loosening, blue-ink check, unguided scrapping etc.

The digital profile mapping is useful in terms of giving you the following solutions:

· For Tool building & its setup

· The Robot Calibration

· Squat or Load checking both Hot & Cold

· TG deck monitoring

· Levelling measurement

· Turbine alignment as well as setting

· The Catenary measurements readings

· The Coupling face runout and corrections

· Coupling or Shaft Alignment checking from end to end

· Coupling face matching

· Diaphragm cantering

· Ovality of the Turbine casing

· Id fan alignment

· Casing parting plane match

· Rotors axial runout

· The LP rotor and casing blade inspection

A digital profile is giving you 3D mapping & As-is assistance

With the help of better-optimised technology, you are getting effective assistance for the 3D mapping as well as As-Built detailing that supports the process of finalising the layout for FGD & the surrounding area. You are getting accurate 3D models that can be used later for extracting the As-Built drawings for better help in the simulations, modifications for effectively fitting the FGD plant in the existing plant area.

You are getting the following advantages by doing so:

· Increased Accessibility

· Best possible results

· Improved Efficiency

· Ease of Recalling some previously analysed data

· Easy Data Correlation

· Eliminating the need for Handling heavy components

· Time & cost saving approach

Other important applications where digital profile mapping services are useful to implement:

The COUPLING or SHAFT ALIGNMENT

· One can easily compare the current position of the shaft to the OEM’s catenary design

· You are having the ability to successfully compare and locate the exact locations

· You can effectively Locate the centre point of the shaft with each bearing

· You can easily inspect the subject completely within 8 hours and also you don’t need the process to rotate the component every time for inspection without affecting the measurement data.

· You can instantly recall the data with the previous inspection

Summary

With the digital profile mapping technique, you don’t need the rim & face checks every time as couplings can stay bolted thus eliminating the repeat check-ups. This is the biggest advantage of saving time & efforts.
