EVO ACCIONA

Shaft alignment in the wind power Industry

The EVO ACCIONA is custom-made with firmware and fixtures designed specifically for Acciona turbines. These precisely designed fixtures make generator-to-gearbox alignment easy inside any nacelle – safeguarding reliability and optimizing the energy efficiency of the wind turbine.

Features

Horizontal Alignment

Measures and helps correct misalignment while dual sensors maintain the true position of the shafts, even as unintended movements are experienced during the alignment process

Vertical Alignment

Same power and ease of use as the Horizontal Alignment program. The vertical alignment program is used when aligning flanged-mounted machines

Verti-Zontal

Allows for the vertical and horizontal adjustments to be made together in one pass, saving valuable time and ensuring accuracy the first time around

Soft Check™

Softcheck™ checks if there is a soft foot condition, i.e. when the motor is not resting firmly on all its feet

Feetlock™

This program allows the user to test alternate solutions in situations where the movable machine is base bound or bolt bound

Target Values

Allows the system to compensate for pre-determined alignment targets. The user can establish targets using the function and then go directly to shaft alignment

Horizontal Machines

The Acoem EVO measures the need for horizontal alignment, but its real power is in helping correct misalignment. The dual sensors allow the EVO to continually read the true position of the shafts, even as uncontrolled movements are experienced during the alignment process. The benefit of this “true position sensing” is that it allows the user to complete the alignment using a Verti-Zontal™ move adjusting in both the vertical and horizontal planes without re-measuring between moves. Alignments can usually be completed in just one or two tries.
