Background

The previous method used for this application was hydraulic wrenches.

Return on investment was accelerated by 100% due to decreased man hours.

The tool paid for itself in the first week in accelerated labor savings.

Problem Being Addressed

They needed to loosen and torque 54 blade bolts on approximately 200 Turbines. That’s 10,800 blade bolts!

Approach Taken

The Alltite representative recommended the use of an electric torque gun.

End Result

Compared to the previous method of tightening blade bolts, the electric torque method is extremely fast.

ROI was accelerated because of man hour savings in the first week.

The project experienced a high degree of success due to a 3% accuracy rate of repeatability.
