Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USE IN PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON TURBINE ROTOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2021127767
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide systems and methods for calibrating a robotic device for use in performing maintenance on a turbine rotor.SOLUTION: A system 100 includes a rotor mount 102 configured to receive a turbine rotor 108, a robotic device 104, a visual inspection device 120, and a computing device 106. The computing device is configured to: direct the robotic device to evaluate, with the visual inspection device, the turbine rotor at different circumferential locations thereof to obtain rotor axis data; determine a centerline of the turbine rotor based on the rotor axis data; generate a coordinate system including the centerline of the turbine rotor; direct the robotic device to evaluate, with the visual inspection device, each blade 114 on at least one stage 112 of the turbine rotor to obtain blade position data relative to the centerline; and populate the coordinate system with the blade position data.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
