Energy

Wind Turbines

Typical Usage

A typical use of the 3d scanning technology for energy is for the measurement and analysis of turbine blades. Traditionally measured by CMM, the process was slow, awkward, and not comprehensive. As a result of white light/blue light 3d scanning technology, millions of measurement points in x,y, and z directions are measured on the blade within a few seconds. This collected point cloud data is then compared to the original design’s CAD model to analyze existing manufacturing or functional issues.

Blue Light 3D Scanning

With our blue light 3d scanners, we have reverse engineered extremely complex turbines ( buckets), as well as other related items. Many damaged parts of a power generation unit have been effectively 3D scanned, and the model was then used to replace the broken part.

  • Create a 3D map/model of the existing power generation facility.
  • Quick and affordable measurement, means less downtime.
  • Easily repair, troubleshoot, and analyze equipment for dimensional issues.
  • White light scanning solves complex turbine measurement issues.
  • Reverse engineer damaged parts, and make new parts.

Energy 3D Scanning

Long-range 3D scanner Surphaser has been used to accurately map 3D models of large structures. For example, power generation plants, dams, electrical substations, giant steam turbine engines, gas pipelines, transmission lines, windmills, and more. Measuring these facilities has become easier and more affordable than before.
