This software enables step-by-step control of the turbine’s tensioned tightening process and provides real-time guidance to operators performing the assembly operation.
What is the TMS ?
- TMS is a tool for long-term monitoring of your turbines, allowing you to perform regular surveillance and tracking of your assemblies.
- The graphical representation of your turbine assembly is fully customizable.
- The TMS is bilingual and available in FR and US versions, making it a versatile system.
An innovative and versatile system
Tightening can be parameterized according to:
- The size of the turbine
- The number of screws that compose it
- The tightening order of each screw and the number of tightening passes
- The number of operators performing the screw tightening operation
- The programmed tension or elongation limits (mini-nominal-maxi)
- The measurement units (tension in kN, elongation in µm, inch or mil)
Why should you use this Bolt Tightening Software?
Controlling the tensioned tightening of the components of a gas turbine is of crucial importance to ensure its optimal operation and long-term reliability. Each element, whether it is the blades, seals, or mechanical parts, must be properly secured to avoid problems such as gas leaks, excessive vibrations, or structural failures. Precise tightening also ensures perfect alignment of the elements, allowing for uniform air and gas flow through the turbine, thus maximizing the conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy. Furthermore, adequate and precise control of tightening facilitates maintenance operations and regular inspections, helping to reduce costs and minimize downtime.
In short, expertise in the tightening of gas turbine components is essential to ensure optimal performance, high reliability, and extended lifespan, resulting in significant economic and environmental benefits.
