Most turbine diaphragm alignment issues don’t show up at startup.
They show up months later as efficiency loss, rubbing, or load-dependent vibration.

➡ The common problem?
Diaphragms aligned to the casing instead of the rotor, and concentricity assumed instead of measured.

With the ERAG / CAT, we measure diaphragm concentricity directly to the rotor, with the shaft in place, and correct what others estimate:https://zurl.co/cCDVs

In industrial environments, this distinction matters:

A measurement tells you where you are. The right metrology expertise tells you what to do next.

(A dimensional deviation, an unexpected surface irregularity, or a component that doesn't meet design specifications can lead to costly rework, installation challenges, and unplanned downtime...)

But identifying the deviation is only part of the job. Understanding its implications is where measurement becomes valuable.

That's why industrial metrology should go beyond collecting data.

➡ At ACQUIP, we combine advanced measurement technology with engineering expertise to help industrial teams make informed decisions about their critical assets.

Our capabilities include:

🔹 Large-Part Dimensional Inspection: Verify critical dimensions and geometries on complex industrial components.

🔹 GD&T / CAD-Based Inspection: Evaluate actual measurements against design specifications to identify deviations.

🔹 Flatness Measurement & Laser Mapping: Assess surface conditions and identify variations that can affect installation and performance.

🔹 Calibration & Repeatability: Support measurement reliability and consistency across critical applications.

The objective isn't simply to measure more accurately. It's to reduce uncertainty before it becomes an operational problem.

Whether you're preparing for an installation, validating a component, or planning maintenance, reliable measurement data can make the difference between reacting to a problem and preventing one.

Make precision part of your decision-making process.

Machine Train Alignment for an Energy Nuclear Power Plant

PROJECT SCOPE: a company conducting an outage on a steam turbine at a nuclear power plant. It was necessary to align multiple components, but it had to be done quickly, and a bolt-bound condition was not an option. A machine-train alignment had to be performed to meet the requirements of the project.

ACQUIP PERFORMANCE: ACQUIP was contacted to perform the machine train laser alignment on the steam turbine. We had to read each of the couplings and view the alignment as a whole. All alignment targets were considered. A small horizontal and vertical move was performed on the generator only to get both couplings within excellent alignment tolerance. Results: Acquip Engineers helped the company solve a complex alignment problem with the minimal number of moves possible and without moving the bearings. The unit was brought back into service quickly and without creating or doing hot work in a nuclear environment.

A $150K–$250K investment… or access to the same precision when your project actually needs it?

When it comes to FARO Laser Trackers, the smartest decision isn't always about owning the equipment. It's about getting the most value from your investment.

Buying makes sense when precision measurement is part of your daily operations...But what if you only need a laser tracker for a plant outage, a critical alignment, or a short-term inspection?

That's where renting can change the equation.

With ACQUIP FARO Laser Tracker Rentals, you get:

✔ Precision without the capital expense : Access advanced 3D measurement technology without a major upfront investment.

✔ Flexibility that matches your workload: Scale your measurement capabilities for outages, installations, inspections, and temporary projects.

✔ Equipment ready for the job: Fully calibrated systems, essential accessories, and technical support when you need it.

The real question isn't whether buying or renting is better. It's which option makes better business sense for your operation.

💡 Before committing to ownership, explore what renting could do for your next project.

Accurate measurements are important. Knowing what to do with them is what makes the difference.

When equipment is out of position, the challenge isn’t simply identifying the problem. It’s knowing what needs to move, how much, and how to get it where it needs to be.

➡ That’s where ACQUIP brings value.

(From laser alignment and metrology to 3D scanning, dynamic movement studies, outage services, and remote support, we combine advanced measurement technology with real-world engineering experience.)

But our work goes beyond collecting data.

📈 We help teams turn that data into clear, actionable decisions, especially when tolerances are tight, downtime matters, and the solution isn’t obvious.

Because at the end of the day, you don’t need more numbers...

You need confidence in your next move.

Accuracy | Precision | Trust

When a turbine is open during an outage, every measurement matters. But the tool taking the measurement is only part of the equation.

Internal alignment can quickly become complex. You’re dealing with tight tolerances, large components, different geometries, real field conditions, and a schedule that usually doesn’t leave much room for uncertainty.

➡ That’s why ACQUIP approaches internal alignment as more than a measurement service:

➡ We bring together experienced field engineers and the right measurement technology for the specific machine and application: https://zurl.co/bc1FN

➡ Our team can support the process from the initial “as-found” measurements through adjustments, final “as-left” verification, and reporting, giving your team clear, traceable data to support alignment decisions and OEM requirements.

(And we don't believe in forcing one tool to fit every job.)

Depending on the equipment, access, geometry, and scope, the best measurement approach can change. ACQUIP has access to a diverse fleet of professional-grade metrology and alignment equipment, so we can select the technology that makes sense for the application.

🏁 The result?

You’re not hiring someone to simply show up with a laser.

🏁 You’re bringing in a team that understands turbines, complex rotating equipment, precision measurement, and what it takes to execute alignment work in the field.

Because when the machine is already open and the outage clock is running, good data matters, but knowing what to do with it matters even more.
(That’s where ACQUIP does its best work.)

Built to work at an angle. Not built to ignore alignment.

That distinction matters.

A Cardan shaft gives a drivetrain something a rigid coupling can’t: the ability to transmit torque between shafts that aren’t perfectly collinear.

But flexibility doesn’t make geometry optional.

When the alignment isn’t right, the consequences can travel beyond the shaft itself:

→ Non-uniform angular velocity
→ Cyclic torsional excitation
→ Increased loads on bearings and gearboxes
→ Accelerated wear of cross bearings, splines, and yokes

That’s why Cardan shaft alignment isn’t about forcing two shafts onto the same centerline.

It’s about controlling the geometry the system was designed to operate within (including joint angles, parallel offset, and proper phasing).

The benefit?

A drivetrain that operates closer to its intended geometry, with better control of the forces that can contribute to vibration, component loading, and premature wear.

✔ The Cardan shaft provides the flexibility.
➡ Proper alignment makes that flexibility work as intended.

DIFFERENT NEEDS. ONE GOAL: PRECISION.

A FARO Laser Tracker and a FARO Arm don’t solve the same measurement challenges (and that’s exactly the point.)

➡ One is built to bring high-accuracy measurement to large-scale applications and extended working ranges (FARO Laser Tracker). ➡ The other brings portable, articulated measurement directly to the part, making it well suited for inspection and measurement tasks where flexibility and access matter (FARO Arm).

Different technologies. Different applications.

At the end of the day, the goal is the same: measure with confidence and know the data is right.

Remember: Precision isn’t about having the best tool.
..It’s about having the right tool for the measurement in front of you.

A gas turbine doesn’t need another measurement. It needs the right measurement before the next move...

During a major outage, internal alignment is about understanding where the components actually sit (and what needs to move).

ACQUIP uses laser tracker technology to capture (thousands of 3D data points) directly into CAD, providing more than a traditional 2D centerline measurement.

The same measurement process can reveal:

↳ Axial position
↳ Out-of-roundness and distortion
↳ Face flatness
↳ Angular relationships
↳ Bearing elevation and deformation

From there, the data is analyzed against alignment targets so corrections can be calculated, components moved in a controlled manner, and their final positions verified.

And alignment isn’t always performed simply because a major outage is scheduled.

➡ Vibration issues. ➡ Evidence of rubbing. ➡ Component replacement.
➡ Unit uprates. ➡ Catastrophic failure.

Each can make internal alignment part of the outage scope.

For coupling alignment, the approach can also adapt to the actual configuration and resources available (including whether both shafts can rotate, only one can rotate, or shaft rotation isn’t possible).

Measure. Analyze. Correct. Verify. Document.

Because the goal isn’t to collect more numbers...

📈 It’s to know what those numbers are telling you before you move the machine.

A small alignment error doesn’t always look like a big problem.

Until it becomes vibration.
Or premature bearing wear.
Or unnecessary stress on seals and couplings.
Or downtime that could have been avoided.

That’s what makes shaft alignment interesting: the adjustment may be small, but its effect can travel through the entire machine.

The Easy-Laser XT770 gives maintenance and reliability teams the measurement capabilities they need to identify, correct, and verify alignment with confidence (from pumps and motors to turbines and machine trains).

But technology is only part of the equation.

At ACQUIP, we believe the value of precision equipment comes from putting the right tool in the right hands, for the right application.

Because sometimes, a few mils can make a much bigger difference than they appear to.

➡ Less vibration. ➡ Less unnecessary stress. ➡ More confidence in the machine.
