Abstract: Systems and devices adapted to monitor displacements between turbine shell portions during shell separation processes are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes: a first member adapted to connect to a first portion of a turbine shell; a second member adapted to connect to a second portion of the turbine shell; and a measurement device communicatively connecting the first member to the second member for monitoring a displacement value for a joint in the turbine shell between the first portion of the turbine shell and the second portion of the turbine shell.

Abstract: Systems for inspecting clearances in a machine are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus for inspecting a clearance in a machine includes: a base bracket configured to be disposed upon at least one rotor land within the machine; an optical device disposed upon the base bracket, the optical device for capturing an image of at least a portion of the machine wherein the image depicts at least one clearance in the machine; and a computing device communicatively connected to the optical device, the computing device for obtaining and processing the image of at least a portion of the machine from the optical device and determining at least one clearance value from the image.
