Apparatus and method for servicing dynamoelectric machine components in-situ

An apparatus adapted for servicing a dynamoelectric machine component comprising:

• a tool delivery mechanism adapted for delivering a tool to a desired location in the dynamoelectric machine;
• a tool support fixture adapted to be secured onto the body of the dynamoelectric machine, the tool support fixture for supporting and adjusting the tool delivery mechanism;
• a sleeve mechanism attached to the tool support fixture, the sleeve mechanism disposed around a portion of the tool delivery mechanism, the sleeve mechanism comprising one or more clamps attached to a portion of the tool delivery mechanism, a sleeve disposed around a portion of the tool delivery mechanism, one or more shaft collars disposed around a portion of the sleeve, a holder body, and one or more flanged bearings disposed between the holder body and the one or more shaft collars;
• and
• wherein, the apparatus is adapted to service the component of the dynamoelectric machine in-situ.
