If you are in the business of power generation, your company might be on our list of valued customers already. Following are some applications where the SPG DATA 3D measuring system produces considerable time and cost savings when compared to traditional measuring methods.
Gas turbines:
SPG DATA 3D successfully inspects turbo engine parts. Highly precise inspections in significantly reduced inspection times result in lower costs for overhauls, maintenance and ownership. One good example of this application is our Accu3D blade positioning system, used by Alstom Power to fully automate the process of laser-based blade repairs. Prior to welding operation, each blade is measured and the true geometry data is used to adjust the robot paths.
Hydroelectric power:
In hydroelectric power plants, SPG DATA 3D inspects runners and other power plant unit components. Comprehensive reports generated by SPG DATA 3D provide details on observed damage, surface evaluation and volume lost to cavitation or rust. The inspection time is reduced to the time it takes to acquire the images. All processing is done afterwards and off-site.
Wind power:
Renewable energy is playing a major role in the future of the energy market. The constant efforts to increase the efficiency of wind power plants while reducing their noise are directly related to the aerodynamics of rotor blades. Because of their non-uniform and spherically curved shapes, it is not easy to perform reliable three-dimensional measurements using conventional measuring tools such as templates and gauges. SPG DATA 3D provides the right solution for such challenges where large and complex parts must be measured.
Flexible configurability combined with a low cost of ownership makes SPG DATA 3D the best choice for many applications in today's highly competitive energy industry world.
