摘要:
Methods and systems for maintaining a machine using an in-situ vehicle (IV) is provided. The IV may be used with a machine that includes a work-piece and an interference body positioned proximate a surface of the work-piece such that a relatively small gap extends between the work-piece and the interference body. The method includes transporting the IV from external to the machine into the gap, positioning the IV in the gap such that at least a portion of the IV circumscribes a work area of the work-piece, locking the IV between the work-piece and the interference body, and manipulating a tool coupled to the IV from external to the machine, the tool configured to transfer a component between the work-piece and a storage cassette on the IV.

A modified cart and coil hanger assembly wherein vertical support assemblies are provided to receive the coil turns for lifting and transport to and from the field and which are selectively locked to a coil cart main body for ground transport. As such, the assembly of the invention provides the advantages of a fully mobile coil cart including the ability to manage floor lay down space in the field rewind area as well as coil hanging and overhead transport as required for field rewind.

A method of installing a rotor assembly in a generator stator including a central bore is provided. The method includes coupling at least one of a first rotor section and a second rotor section of the rotor assembly to a conveyor such that at least a portion of the rotor assembly is supported by the conveyor. The method also includes moving the rotor assembly into position within the stator bore using the conveyor.
