| 3D Coordinate Measurement | Quality Control | Turbines | | | | | Mobile Optical Coordinate Measuring Technology Used in Offshore Wind Turbines Setup | |  | | | | Measuring Systems: TRITOP | | | | Keywords: Quality Control, Turbines, Wind Turbines, Large-scale CMM Measurement, Offshore, Inspection of Connection and Mounting Surfaces | | | | Because of their size, wind turbines are transported in individual parts to their offshore setup destination. Due to different production sites, the individual components are often put together for the first time at the mounting site on the high seas. Therefore, it is necessary to control the connections and mounting surfaces of tower and foundation independently before mounting.
To guarantee a smooth setup of the offshore wind turbines, the optical TRITOP CMM measuring system is used for checking the mounting surfaces and bolts. |  | |
| | Quality Assurance and Product Definition For the Power Generation Industry | |  | | | | Measuring Systems: ATOS | | | | Keywords: part shrinkage, airfoil twist and mold wear | | | | With the ability of ATOS to accurately measure airfoil contours, leading and trailing edges, root and tip geometry,it provides a more thorough inspection to identify deviations and problems in unexpected areas, trends in part shrinkage, airfoil twist and mold wear. With this newly available information, manufactures are able to reduce their inspection spending and speed up their development. In addition, the production can be controlled to maintain higher accuracy and parts have better quality. | | |
| | Measuring Turbines with ATOS and TRITOP | |  | | | | Measuring Systems: ATOS, TRITOP | | | | Keywords: Reverse Engineering, complete turbines, single blades | | | | Turbine blades and other components of stationary generators and aircraft engines in most cases have complex geometries and freeform surfaces. Therefore, measuring their geometry is quite demanding with respect to the measuring equipment and measuring strategies. | | |
| | 3D Measurement of Water Turbines | |  | | | | Measuring Systems: ATOS, TRITOP | | | | Keywords: Kaplan, Francis, Pelton, angles | | | | 3D scanning of turbines was performed successfully in several hydroelectric power plants in order to assess the condition and the efficiency of these turbines, to check their shape, to create copies or to prepare new ones. ATOS and TRITOP allow for high accuracy measurements even of large and complex components like water turbines. Such a detailed 3D model detects the slightest deviations from the ideal geometry of the rotor. | | |
