Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to a fixture and a method to assist in the alignment of the inlet end of a transition duct and a combustor component in a turbine engine. The fixture includes a plurality of pressure transducers spaced on a mandrel so as to correspond to the target alignment location of the transition. The plurality of pressure transducers produce signals, which can be converted by a signal processor into an actual alignment location signal. A display can be provided for presenting graphical images of the target alignment location and the actual alignment location responsive to the actual alignment location signal received from the signal processor. Thus, a user can view the movement of the graphical image of the actual alignment location relative to the graphical image of the target alignment location such that the user can adjust the transition's position until the graphical images are substantially aligned.

Abstract translation: 本发明的方面涉及一种固定装置和一种方法，用于协助将过渡管道的入口端和涡轮发动机中的燃烧器部件对准。 夹具包括在心轴上间隔开的多个压力传感器，以便对应于过渡的目标对准位置。 多个压力传感器产生可被信号处理器转换成实际对准位置信号的信号。 可以提供显示器，用于响应于从信号处理器接收的实际对准位置信号呈现目标对准位置和实际对准位置的图形图像。 因此，用户可以相对于目标对准位置的图形图像来查看实际对准位置的图形图像的移动，使得用户可以调整转换的位置，直到图形图像基本对齐。
