Optimization measurements

Stork Optimization Services is able to carry out various sorts of measurements at short notice anywhere in the world in order to demonstrate the behaviour of your installation.
A summary of the most common measurements is given below.

Vibration measurements


Stork Optimization Services has two systems to perform vibration measurements, namely CSI portable spectrum analysers and the multi-channel real-time analysers of Bently Nevada.

Torque measurements


Stork Optimization Services performs couple measurements on location using stretch strips. This is usually done on gearboxes and screw axles. We can perform measurements continually using our advanced RMC-sensor telemetric system.

Infrared measurements


Stork Optimization Services performs thermographic infrared measurements on location on both mechanical and electrical equipment. The Raytek ThermoViewTM Ti30 of Stork Optimization Services measures temperatures between 0 and 2500 C (32 to 4820 F) of metals and non-metals.

Geometric measurements


Using the newest laser equipment, precise measurements accurate to within 0.01 mm can be performed, such as:
  • Shaft alignments
  • Flatness
  • Straightness
  • Perpendicular measurements
  • Line boring
  • Parallel measurements
Platinum FaroArm® portable cmm
Stork Gears & Services has recently invested in the FaroArm, the world’s most accurate and advanced portable cmm with .0005" accuracy. The revolutionary FaroArm is able to perform very accurate and sophisticated measurements.

Visual inspections


In addition, visual inspections of gearboxes are done to record the condition of the gears and bearings. These activities are often done in combination with vibration measurements in order to obtain as complete as possible overview of the gearbox and/or installation.
These visual inspections can also be done using an industrial endoscope. Any images of damage can be recorded using a suitably compatible digital camera.

We recently invested in an advanced new videoscope system: Everest XLG3 VideoProbe. This portable remote visual inspection tool streamlines inspections to get gearbox systems up and running quickly. The Everest XLG3 VideoProbe system is built to withstand tough field inspection environments, such as difficult to reach windturbine gearboxes. Read more »
