The present invention relates to a m ethod for surface finishing, such as grinding, polishing or blasting, of rotor blades for wind turbines. By using the m ethod according to the present...
Wind turbine blades can take a beating, operating 24/7 in the harshest of environments. If blades are damaged the repair process can be costly, tedious, and even dangerous for the technicians involved.
The majority of this work focuses on the toolpath generation. The algorithms were tested on a 5-m blade section, and the results were analyzed in terms of operation speed and accuracy.
Significant variations in stiffness and shape within the repair area are caused by the randomness of defect locations, the high process requirements for wind turbine blade repair are not met. These
ARVADA, CO —Engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy''s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are using robots to improve the consistency of wind turbine blades.
The final finishing technology of wind turbine blade is usually manual polishing and robotic polishing is a very meaningful but still hard task. This paper presents a novel strategy by combining a force
Given the challenges of polishing large curved surfaces and multi-axis dynamic control in wind turbine blade surface processing, we offer highly integrated servo motor + drive control solutions.
After flashing trimming, the leading and trailing edges have a small ridge that must be ground off to achieve the desired airfoil profile. The solution: capture the blade geometry as-built and process the
