Our alignment process is a proven technology accompanied by an outstanding record of successful applications on nearly all makes and models of machines.<\/p>\n<p>The Topless Alignment\u00ae\u00a0Service, or Diaphragm Alignment, starts with the centerline measurements, which were made with \u201cTops-Off\u201d only. Then the shell horizontal joint distortion is measured &amp; is used to determine centerline component Tops-On to Tops-Off movements. The calculated movements are used as offsets when aligning in the \u201cTops-Off\u201d condition. This saves any power utility man-hos and reduced outage duration.<\/p>\n<p>MD&amp;A engineers have successfully aligned over 1700 steam turbine sections using the Topless Alignment\u00ae method. Our projects have a remarkable record for \u201clack of rubbing.\u201d We believe this historical track record of success is an important fact that differentiates our service from those available elsewhere in the industry.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_865\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-865\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdaturbines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/3Alignment_fixed.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-865\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdaturbines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/3Alignment_fixed-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Turbine Topless Laser Alignment\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdaturbines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/3Alignment_fixed-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mdaturbines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/3Alignment_fixed.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-865\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Topless Alignment\u00ae<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>MD&amp;A Alignment Engineers bring both depth and breadth of experience to the turbine deck.
