Alignment and flatness measurement for wind power industry  ------SKF alignment and flatness measure

SKF alignment system provide various solutions for wind power industry. In fact, SKF is one of the world's largest suppliers of laser measurement systems to the wind industry. Our products are suitable for the alignment of gearboxes and generators in the field during production and ongoing maintenance. Another large application is the flatness measurement system for tower flanges. For blade manufacturers, we also provide equipment for measuring and aligning the die center line and its right angles.

We provide a variety of customizable measurement systems for specific machines in different enterprises. Thanks to our own development departments and modern factories, such work is carried out quickly.

Flatness measurement of tower flange

The flatness/warping of a circular surface (such as a flange) is also measured based on the use of three reference points spaced 120° apart on the circular surface. Depends on the number of measuring points and the three reference points among them used to form the laser plane.Thus, all measurements displayed will be values relative to the three selected reference points/laser planes.The inner circle and outer circle (ID/OD) of the flange can be measured, up to 300 measuring points can be processed.The graphs can then be displayed in the SKF program, and further measurements can be used to test different Settings: best for the center, best for around zero, best for all positive/negative Numbers, best for absolute values, etc.

Measurement using a rotating laser.Direct evaluation in full 3d system of coordinate.

After measurement, the results are directly viewed in full 3d image form in the display device.The results are then easily evaluated using different calculation Settings, such as three points of reference, best fit, or all positive Numbers.It is now possible to conduct the assessment directly in the field, as opposed to interrupting the assessment process to operate a PC with an independent analysis program. It has greatly improved productivity.

The system includes a rotating laser emitter with a electrically charged rotating head.Here's a brief description of how the system works: the laser beam emitted by the transmitter rotates and generates a reference plane covering the entire measured object.Because the laser beam does not have to be aligned for each new measurement position, the measurements are performed more quickly.You can place the detector at the target measurement point and record the reading by pressing a button.Usually an operator can perform the measurement.A PDF report containing graphics and measurement data can then be generated directly in the monitor device of the measurement system.All information about the measured object is recorded.

Shaft alignment

For wind power, we mainly serve the alignment of generator and gearbox.There's a lot of force in a wind turbine.Therefore, maintaining the safety of technicians is the first priority.Through the SKF shaft alignment system, the generator and gearbox can be aligned with the dismounted coupling and locked brake.
