A tool system for tightening a retrightenable wedge system in a slot of a generator stator core is presented. The tool system includes a carriage assembly and a wedge tool assembly that is pivotally coupled to the carriage assembly. The carriage assembly includes motorized drives that axially moves the tool system along the slot and holds the tool system on the slot at an axial position. The wedge tool assembly includes a torqueing socket to tighten the retightenable wedge assembly in the slot. The torqueing socket is driven by a worm gear arrangement.
A tool system for tightening a retightenable wedge system in a slot of a generator stator core, wherein the retightenable wedge system comprises a first filler layer placed on a coil in the slot, a spring member placed on the first filler layer, a second filler layer placed on the spring member, and a retightenable wedge assembly comprising a tightening member and a slot wedge placed on the second filler layer, the tool system comprising:
