Now TM offers two cost-effective ways to optimize your blade placement
In gas turbine and jet engine applications using non-integral compressor and turbine blades , the weight tolerance of the individual blades can significantly affect the balance of the assembled rotor. Even if the weight differential is small, if, by random assembly, more of the heavier blades are placed on one side of the rotor, the resulting unbalance condition may be more than can be corrected by additional balance weights or corrective machining processes. This means time-consuming and expensive disassembly of the rotor.
Since its introduction in January 2002, Turbine Metrology's BalancePoint software has become an industry standard for simple, fast, accurate, and affordable blade weighing and placement. Now used in Asia, North America, South America, and Europe [CUSTOMER LIST] , BalancePoint is also finding applications in such diverse fields as paper pulping machines and ceiling fans. For Users who do not work with slot specific "special" blades, pairs matching, or fixed patterns, BalancePoint LITE is now available.
