  • Rotor blade system for rotor and rotor case inspection
    Patent number: 7579844
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system used for inspecting the position of a compressor rotor within a compressor rotor case. A compressor rotor blade is moved about the rotor blade path of the compressor rotor case, a probe holder attached to the rotor blade has a scanning device as part of the holder used for gathering information relative to the compressor rotor case. A fixture attached to the compressor rotor gathers information about the position of the compressor rotor with respect to the compressor rotor case to determine the relative position of both the compressor rotor in relation to the compressor rotor case.
