How Can We Help You-Let Us Count the Ways!

A few weeks ago, a wind technician was attempting a precision shaft alignment in a GE 2.x wind turbine using a GO Basic GE Wind. He was familiar with other laser-based alignment systems, however he had never used a Alignment System or had training on them.

He was struggling some with the generator alignment and reached out to me for support. I had him text me some photos of how the sensors were mounted. One sensor was incorrectly installed. I texted him a photo of how our GE Wind fixtures should be mounted which he corrected.

We spent 45 minutes on the phone stepping through performing a generator alignment using the VibrAlign Verti-Zontal Process. All told with 6 different phone calls and texts over 90 minutes he did an outstanding job and completed the generator alignment in one Verti-Zontal correction and well within GE Wind’s alignment tolerances!

The following day he called during another generator alignment with just a few questions. Once again completing the generator alignment with one Verti-Zontal correction.

He performed another on his own the next day, completing the alignment with one Verti-Zontal correction.

He followed up with me the next week, and sent photos of two more generator alignments, both completed in one move and well within GE Wind’s tolerances.
