Inspect wind power plants using a borescope

However, sometimes it is necessary to inspect and repair the turbine buildings directly. A video borescope is a possible inspection tool in this case. It offers detailed, low-cost images and videos quickly and effectively. These images and videos are necessary to inspect wind power plants and wind turbines.

It is very difficult and time-consuming for a technician to access the turbine building directly. When using a mobile maintenance platform and very tight ladders, it is possible to carry out maintenance work and repairs directly. Since some machine parts cannot be viewed directly and a lack of space, inspection cameras are often used as these inspection tools can help detect and analyse defects like damaged interlockings, sprocket fractions or other irregularities conveniently. To be able to utilise the maximum service life, regular inspection of the gears, wings and any further components is indispensable.

PCE Instruments have a new industrial borescope in their range of products: the PCE-VE 650. This borescope is perfectly suitable for the inspection of wind power plants and wind turbines. It makes the visual inspection very quick and uncomplicated. Access openings for the inspection camera are normally existent in the turbine building by default. The PCE-VE 650 is a 2-way videoscope the camera head of which can be rotated by 240°. The highly professional PCE-VE 650 has a metal case and can be controlled flawlessly from the handle.
