  • Method and apparatus for fabricating a plurality of turbine components
    Patent number: 8025278
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a plurality of turbine components is provided. The method includes removably coupling at least one tab to a plate, wherein the at least one tab and the plate each include a plurality of apertures extending therein. The at least one tab is removably coupled to a first turbine component, and a tool is removably coupled to the plate such that the plate and the at least one tab substantially align the tool with respect to the first turbine component. The method further includes performing a fabrication operation on the first turbine component. The at least one tab is re-oriented with respect to the plate, and the at least one tab is removably coupled to a second turbine component. The tool is removably coupled to the plate such that the plate and the at least one tab substantially align the tool with respect to the second turbine component, and a fabrication operation is performed on the second turbine component.
