SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL OF ONE OR MORE COMBUSTION CANS

A system (200) includes an annular track (310) surrounding the turbomachine. The annular track (310) includes an upper rail portion and a lower rail portion removably coupled to one another. The system further includes a drive assembly (220) operably coupled to the annular track (310). The drive assembly (220) includes a drive chain extending along the annular track (310). A plurality of carts (218) are rotatably coupled to the annular track (310) and connected to the drive chain such that operation of the drive assembly (220) alters a circumferential position of the plurality of carts (218) with respect to an axial centerline of the turbomachine. A plurality of combustion can cradle assemblies (250) each coupled to a respective cart (218) of the plurality of carts (218). Each combustion can cradle assembly (250) of the plurality of combustion can cradle assemblies (250) is configured to removably couple to a combustion can (125) of the one or more combustion cans (125).
