How to use industrial endoscope to detect the internal situation of wind turbine gearbox

VSNDT helps an energy and power company to detect the internal situation of wind turbine gearbox, which is a successful application case of industrial endoscope. The following is a detailed analysis of this cooperation:

Cooperation background

With the rapid development of the wind power industry, wind turbine gearbox is a key component of wind turbine, and its reliability and safety are of vital importance. However, due to the harsh environment of wind farms, wind turbine gearboxes are prone to various faults during operation, such as oil leakage, tooth surface pitting, peeling, broken teeth, abnormal wear, etc. These faults will not only affect the normal operation of wind turbines, but also may cause serious safety accidents. Therefore, it is particularly important to conduct regular inspection and maintenance of wind turbine gearboxes.

 

Application of VSNDT industrial endoscope

Equipment introduction: The industrial endoscope equipment provided by VSNDT has flexible operating performance and high-resolution imaging function, which can easily adapt to the complex environment inside the gearbox and realize all-round and no-dead-angle detection.

Detection content:Gear condition: Through the endoscope, you can clearly observe the wear of the gear, whether the tooth surface meshing clearance has changed, and whether there are pitting, damage, fracture and other phenomena.

Bearing status: The endoscope can detect the lubrication condition, wear degree, and whether there are cracks or damage to the bearing.

Other key components: Other key components inside the gearbox, such as planetary gears, cylindrical gears, etc., can also be observed to ensure that they are in good operating condition.

Portability: The handheld industrial endoscope is designed to be compact and lightweight, easy to carry and operate, and can be flexibly inspected at high altitudes or in narrow spaces.

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 conditions inside the equipment.

Non-destructive testing: Endoscope inspection does not require the disassembly of the gearbox, reducing maintenance time and costs, and can promptly detect and solve problems.

Cooperation results

Improve inspection efficiency: VSNDT's industrial endoscope equipment enables inspectors to more quickly and accurately detect potential problems inside the gearbox, improving inspection efficiency.

Reduce maintenance costs: Through regular endoscope inspections, potential faults can be discovered and repaired in a timely manner, avoiding downtime losses and repair costs caused by faults.

Ensure safe operation: Endoscopic inspection provides maintenance personnel with accurate fault location and maintenance guidance, ensuring the normal operation of the gearbox and the safety and stability of the entire wind turbine.

Summary and Outlook

The cooperation between VSNDT and an energy and power company is not only a successful industrial endoscope application case, but also a joint effort made by both parties to promote the development of the wind power industry. In the future, with the continuous development of the wind power industry and the continuous advancement of technology, VSNDT will continue to be committed to providing more efficient and reliable testing equipment and services, and contribute to the healthy development of the wind power industry.
