The energy sector places special demands on industrial measurement technology. Components for wind, solar, hydrogen or conventional power generation plants are often large scale, mechanically highly loaded and exposed to continuously changing environmental conditions. At the same time, the need for automated condition monitoring and process integrated quality control is increasing both in manufacturing and in assembly and maintenance processes.
3D laser profile sensors enable precise acquisition of profiles, contours, heights and positional data independent of ambient light, surface condition or vibrations. Sensor solutions from AT Sensors are designed for use in demanding industrial environments and provide stable measurement data even under continuous load and changing operating conditions.
Typical applications in the energy sector include geometry and profile inspection of rotor blades, dimensional and alignment control of structural and support elements, monitoring of weld seams and transitions, and position inspection during assembly and joining operations. Even with large scale components and long measuring distances, 3D laser profile sensors deliver reproducible results in real time.
High profile rates, robust design and intelligent on sensor processing allow inspection processes to be integrated directly into automated manufacturing or inspection sequences. The result is reliable, continuous quality and condition control that increases plant availability, reduces maintenance effort and contributes to the long term operational safety of energy generating systems.
