Wind Energy

 in Power Generation

3D measurement of rotor blades Having information about the effective surfaces of rotor blades and turbines is vital in order to control and optimize production processes. Optical measurement technology from GOM can be used to verify the shape and dimensions of rotor blades, pointwise or across the entire surface, against CAD or master data. The measured data can also be used in reverse engineering to create a copy of an optimal rotor. Inspection of mounting surfaces on wind power plant […]

Hydropower

 in Power Generation

Optical 3D coordinate measurement technology from GOM is the ideal solution for capturing the complex geometries and free-form surfaces of Pelton wheel, Francis and Kaplan turbines. It is used to analyze blade geometry tolerances as well as the distances and angles between individual blades to ensure that turbines rotate smoothly and with minimum vibration. In addition, reverse engineering and a golden master are ways of greatly improving turbine efficiency. Reliable and robust measurement technology from GOM provides analysis results fast, […]

Gas- & Steamturbines

 in Power Generation

Gas- & Steamturbines Lifetime Prediction for Gas & Steam Turbines Checking turbine lifetimes is vital to ensure that components do not fail prematurely. One aspect is the wear on turbine blades, which can be analyzed at different stages during operation. This makes precise forecasts of component lifespan possible. In manufacturing environments, contactless measurement systems from GOM are used to control the uniform application of thermal barrier coating onto blades. Analysis of Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) Control of Cooling Holes and […]

Fuselage & Cabin

 in Aerospace

Fuselage & Cabin CFD Analysis & CAD Comparison Computer simulations are used to optimize aircraft design during the development phase. GOM’s ATOS 3D digitizer supplies dense and precise polygon mesh representations of an aircraft’s “as built” condition to obtain a realistic matching CFD analysis. The 3D data is also valuable for symmetry checks and for detecting damage to working prototypes, caused for example by hard landings. Material, Jointing & Component Testing Optical metrology analyzes the mechanical properties and behavior of […]

Aerostructure

Wind Tunnel Testing 3D scanning verifies the “as built” vs. “as designed” shape of scale models in wind tunnel testing to ensure that scaling does not cause deviations. In addition, GOM’s ARAMIS high-speed deformation measurement system analyzes vibrations and deflections caused by wind load in the wind tunnel online and in real time. This makes it possible to analyze wing behavior at specific speeds and in different flight maneuvers. Reverse Engineering Internal and external 3D aircraft scanning supplies 3D CAD […]

Virtual assembly

 in Automotive

Portable CMM GOM’s portable metrology solutions monitor mounting processes on the assembly line. Since results are available immediately, deviations can be detected at an early stage and corrective action taken quickly. Thus plant assembly processes can be improved with process capability studies, training for fitters can be optimized, and scrap and rework times significantly reduced. Full Surface Analysis During assembly GOM coordinate measuring systems help with fast root cause analysis and pinpointing for solving of functional problems, e.g. 3 dimensional […]
