The advantages of industrial endoscopes in wind turbine inspection are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Portability: Industrial endoscopes are designed to be small and lightweight, easy to carry and operate, and can be flexibly inspected in high altitudes or narrow spaces such as wind turbines.

High-definition imaging: Equipped with a high-definition imaging system, it can provide clear and detailed images, allowing inspectors to accurately observe and evaluate the internal conditions of the equipment.

Non-destructive testing: The internal structure can be inspected without disassembling the equipment or destroying the assembly, avoiding the additional costs and risks caused by disassembly.

Application of industrial endoscopes in wind turbine inspection

Blade inspection: The blades of wind turbines are one of their core components. Long-term operation is easily affected by the natural environment and operating loads, resulting in cracks, wear, corrosion and other problems. The industrial endoscope can easily reach into the blades and detect structural damage, corrosion and fatigue cracks of the blades through a high-definition imaging system. This detection method does not require the removal of the blades, which reduces the time and cost of maintenance. At the same time, it can detect and solve problems in a timely manner to ensure the normal operation of the blades and extend their service life.

Generator inspection: The generator is a key component of a wind turbine, responsible for converting wind energy into electrical energy. Industrial endoscopes can be used for internal inspection of the generator, including observing the insulation condition of the winding, checking the degree of wear of the bearings, and evaluating the balance of rotating parts. Through regular generator inspections, potential faults can be discovered and repaired in a timely manner to ensure the efficient operation and reliability of the generator.

Gearbox inspection: The gearbox is an important transmission component of a wind turbine generator set, and its internal structure and operating status have an important impact on the overall performance of the wind turbine. The industrial endoscope can enter the gearbox to observe the wear of the gears, the state of the bearings, and the working condition of the lubrication system. Through endoscope inspection, abnormal conditions in the gearbox can be discovered in a timely manner, providing maintenance personnel with accurate fault location and maintenance guidance to ensure the normal operation of the gearbox.

Bearing inspection: Bearings are key components in wind turbines that bear loads and transmit power. Industrial endoscopes can be used for bearing inspection, including checking the lubrication condition of the bearings, the degree of wear, and whether there are cracks or damage. Through endoscope inspection, abnormal conditions of the bearings can be discovered in a timely manner, preventing bearing failures and failures, and ensuring the stable operation of wind turbines.

Tower inspection: The tower of a wind turbine is an important structure that supports the entire generator set. There may be problems such as rust and cracks inside the tower, which will seriously affect the tower's load-bearing capacity and safety. An industrial endoscope can easily reach into the tower to inspect the tower's structure and surface conditions. Through endoscope inspection, abnormal conditions inside the tower can be discovered in a timely manner, providing maintenance personnel with accurate maintenance guidance to ensure the safety and stability of the tower.
