Custom Scanner Simplifies Inspection of Wind Turbine Blades

To optimize our ultrasonic non-destructive testing (UT) solutions for the wind energy industry, our experts have developed probes, wedges and scanners to solve problems arising in wind turbine blade inspection applicatio.

Non-destructive testing of wind rotor blades is time-consuming, time-consuming, and suffers from high sound attenuation from materials such as thicker composites (glass or carbon fiber reinforced) and epoxy adhesiv.

To address these issues, we have introduced an innovative solution offering a range of optional equipment for wind rotor blade manufacturers and service companies to perform rigorous Phased Array (PA) and Conventional Ultrasonic (UT) on rotor blad.

Expand detection coverage with the RollerFORM XL Scanner

The RollerFORM XL Scanner is the latest addition to our PA inspection solution for rotor blad.

The RollerFORM XL scanner's probe has 128 elements with a 1 mm element pit.

Tailor-made scanner simplifies inspection of rotor blades

The RollerFORM XL scanner is designed for fast scanning of very large workpieces with highly attenuating materials, simplifying the inspection process of rotor blades in the following ways:

Improved rate of detection (POD) and accuracy of interpretation when performing porosity quantification, delamination quantification, and debonding monitoring

Its wider coverage, combined with the multiple views provided by the OmniScan X3 flaw detector, gives you a complete picture of the condition of your workpie.

Defects and delamination problems can be detected in composites with thicknesses ranging from 2 to 40 mm

Low frequency (1 MHz) transducers with element heights up to 13 mm improve beam penetration in thicker materials with high attenuation, such as glass fiber reinforced composites and for bonding spar caps and shear webs epoxy resin materi.

2D imaging made easy

The scanner is equipped with an encoder, and a convenient button on its handle remotely initiates acquisition of the OmniScan X3 flaw detector and steps the position of the scanner, allowing easy coded 2D imagi.

Eliminates the need for a water couplant supply system

The acoustic impedance of the innovative tire material is matched to the acoustic impedance of the fluid within the tire, enabling efficient transfer of acoustic energy into the workpie.

Comfortable operation, improved detection efficiency

The scanner is designed with ergonomics in mind, with easy-to-grip handles, easy-to-operate buttons, well-positioned laser guides, and smooth rolling tires, making it easy to u.

Set up, transport and store with ease

Equipped with integrated probes, delay blocks and encoders, the RollerFORM XL Scanner is a compact phased array scanning solution that can be quickly deployed wherever inspection sites require .
