Material Properties – FLC

 in Sheet metal forming

Material Properties – FLC Determination of Material Properties Simulation technology is used to calculate and optimize the design and shape of a product, along with the tools and forming process required for its manufacture, long before production actually starts. It is therefore essential to have information about the characteristics of the specific sheet metal used when designing a new product and manufacturing individual sheet metal parts. Knowledge of the material properties makes it possible to reliably compare product variants and […]

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 […]
