Micon 600/48 Cabin House

From DIAB
 

 
Micon is one of the leading windturbine manufacturers on the global market. Micon relies on sub-suppliers to produce the various components in a windmill such as the rotor blades and cabin house. The Micon 600/48 is an example of medium size Micon wind turbine with a nominal effect of 600 kW and a rotor diameter of 48 meter. The tower height varies from 46-70 meter. The cabin house of the Micon 600/48 is a sandwich construction and is produced by several different sub suppliers. The cabin is manufactured with traditional hand lay-up of laminates and core material in a female mould. By using sandwich technology, a construction with high strength to weight ratio is achieved. Apart from minimising maintenance work, sandwich further enables a freedom of design which is not always possible with conventional materials.
