  • Patent number: 11952909
    Abstract: An installation for pre-assembling the turbine stators of a turbine each formed of several juxtaposed sectors, includes: an input carriage for conveying sectors intended to form the turbine stators. Each sector includes side faces provided with slots and being associated with a given turbine stator; an output carriage having various trays, each associated with a turbine stator; an automated device for inserting sealing pads configured to interact with a sector conveyed by an automated convey pallet, comprising a robot arm for inserting sealing pads into the slots in a side face of the sector; and another robot arm for gripping a sector equipped with pads from a pallet and depositing it on the tray associated with the turbine stator to pre-assemble the turbine stator.

  • Patent number: 11781438
    Abstract: A device is suitable for inserting sealing pads into one of the sectors of a turbine stator of a turbine, wherein the turbine stator includes a plurality of sectors with adjacent side faces abutting each other and slots arranged opposite each other in the adjacent side faces of two successive sectors. Each stator is configured to receive a predefined sealing pad. The device includes a support for supporting the sector; a robot arm configured to grip the sealing pads, each predefined in accordance with the slot intended to receive it. The robot arm is configured to insert each predefined sealing pad into the slot intended to receive it of one of the side faces of the sector.

  • Patent number: 11580633
    Abstract: A control device controls sectors for the assembly of turbine stators of a turbine. Each turbine stator is formed of an assembly of sectors juxtaposed to one another, and each sector has a reference. The control device includes an automated system for identifying the sector with means for reading the sector reference, a database of the references of the sectors that form the turbine stators of the turbine, and means for associating the read reference of the sector with a determined turbine stator of the turbine.
