SIEMENS VERIFIES TURBINE BLADE GEOMETRY WITH METRIS LASER SCANNERS
Written by Nikon   

Siemens, a worldwide leader in power plant turbines, investigate laser scanning to monitor the production quality of casting blades. Non-contact verification of blade geometry and alignment guarantees premium economy and long life in harsh turbine operating conditions. Powerful 3D scanning technology accurately captures the aerofoil surfaces of the blades as well as their fine alignment notches. A single mouse click triggers the automatic geometry verification process that provides detailed insight on the basis of graphic part-to-CAD comparison. LC50 laser scanning and Focus point cloud processing are the cornerstones of a much faster and operator-independent digital inspection process.

Ensuring the Quality of Wind Turbine Parts
Written by Hannes Daniel   

In the fast growing market for wind power systems, quality assurance according to international industrial standards has become an important issue. Wind power plants are no longer a niche playground for environmental proponents, but a serious business where cost efficiency, life cycle costs, reliability and availability of the components must be considered. Coordinate measuring machines play a vital role in ensuring the accuracy and quality of components. This article describes how Carl Zeiss IMT has developed its series of MMZ machine measuring centers, which are tailored for the precise, economical measuring of large parts directly in the production environment, and in particular looks at the MMZ G, which has established applications in quality assurance for gearboxes and other parts for large wind turbines.
