What needed solving
A time-consuming manual inspection process, as the blades are approx. 60 meters long. It takes a total of 90 mins to inspect both halves (top and bottom). The defects observed are air bubbles, delamination, cutting cracks, dents, step wrinkles, holes, etc.
How Qualitas solved it
An automated mobile inspection system was developed with the help of a moving cart since the object is large.
Overview
Wind turbines account for more than 6% of the total world's electricity as of 2020. The surface quality blades play a significant role in ensuring seamless motion. To inspect the inner surface of the wind turbine blades, an automated mobile inspection system was developed with the help of a moving cart since the object is large.
