Wind Power / Energy
Wind & Energy: Heavy-Duty Positioning and Large-Part Inspection
Wind and energy components are large and heavy, with high clamping demands and big-envelope inspection. The priorities are secure, repeatable positioning of sizeable parts and checking fixtures that verify features across a large datum frame.
Machining challenges in wind power / energy
- Large, heavy parts need secure, repeatable clamping
- High pull-down and clamping force requirements
- Big-envelope features are slow to inspect
- Machining and gauging must share a consistent datum
How our workholding & tooling helps
Heavy-duty zero-point
Sized for high pull-down and clamping force, zero-point systems position large, heavy parts securely and repeatably across machining and measuring.
Zero-Point Positioning Systems
Large-part checking fixtures
Checking fixtures recreate the datum frame so features on large housings and flanges can be verified quickly on the floor.
Automotive Inspection GaugesTypical parts
- Gearbox housings
- Flanges
- Large brackets
- Structural energy components
Representative scenario
Challenge — Large components and gearboxes need secure, repeatable positioning and inspection across a big datum frame.
Solution — Heavy-duty zero-point positioning holds sizeable parts securely, and checking fixtures verify features against a consistent datum.
Result
- Secure clamping of large, heavy parts
- Consistent datum for machining and gauging
- Faster large-part inspection
