VIRTUAL
ASSEMBLY

Utilizing high precision measurement technology to digitally map critical geometry within a 3D platform, enabling customers to achieve transformational duration reductions for turnarounds, maintenance, and projects.

REDUCED
INSPECTION
LEAD TIMES

3D scanned inspections allow for the creation of a complete model for every component of your machine and the ability to quickly identify tolerance deficiencies. This meticulous data-gathering capability leads to more detailed inspections and a digital twin of the subject machine.

MULTI-OEM
PARTS
SUPPORT

RMS will pair the dimensions gathered by the RMS Metrology team with engineering support. These engineered parts will not only fit, but meet or exceed their performance and quality requirements.

STREAMLINED
OVERHAULS

The use of 3D scanning and probing allows RMS to reduce the time needed to complete an overhaul. During the assembly process, 3D scanning is used to verify fits, clearances, and compare physical results against engineering models.

FIELD
SCANNING
SUPPORT

The RMS Metrology team is a mobile unit capable of scanning machinery and parts around the world. RMS can arrive at your site to provide scanning support to execute a host of projects and prepare for future outages using Virtual Assembly.

DIGITAL TWINS

Digital twins are files of scanned machines and components that RMS stores in a controlled environment. These 3D scan files assist with the assembly of machines, prepare for future inspections, and even plan upgrades and rerates before future overhauls.

How Does Virtual Assembly Work?

STEP 1

Utilizing high precision measurement technology, digitally map critical geometry within a 3D platform, enabling customers to achieve transformational duration reductions for turnarounds, maintenance, and projects.

Steam Turbine Step 1

STEP 2

Digitally map the casing internals during the outage, with the rotor virtually overlaid. Create a virtual replica of the physical assembly. Optimize the digital model in preparation for the virtual fit-up evaluation.

STEP 3

Evaluate and optimize internal clearances real-time prior to physically installing the spare rotor. Virtual assembly enables a comprehensive evaluation of how the equipment will fit together during assembly, within ~.001” accuracy.

“I look forward to working with our customers to shift the paradigm of the rotating equipment industry thanks to the use of advanced scanning technology. Customers can expect the same quality engineered solutions RMS is known for, but with the added benefit of 3D scan data that opens a number of doors for customers. We can now support more rapid turnarounds thanks to virtual assembly, quicker inspections, and the creation of digital twins to name a few benefits.”
