Title: Alignment method for separating annular components
Inventor: BURNS MICHAEL LESLIE
IPC: B64F1/00
Filed: 2013-11-19
Abstract: A method of axially separating an annular system comprising first 34 and second 36 annular components, such as a gas turbine engine with a core engine 34 and fan case 36, connected by an annular array of fastenings (42, figures 3-6). The first 34 and second 36 components are supported by support tooling. The fastenings 42 are removed to leave one fastening 42 located on each side of the system. One of the remaining fastenings 42 is removed. The relative height of the first 34 and second 36 components is adjusted so that the fastener apertures 46, 48 are aligned. Then the final fastening 42 is removed. Alignment of the apertures 46, 48 may be determined by temporarily replacing the fastener without friction, laser sighting, measurement of the overlap, or a fastener with stress measurement capability. The method ensures axial alignment during separation thus avoiding damage to the components.
