Application of a 2-component adhesive on various geometries of rotor blade shells of a wind-power-plant rotor blade size E 82.2. There are 4 forms in a row (length of the plant 214 m). One portal can be fastened only on a wall-sided guideway. A second support needs to be provided on the floor side.

Adhesive application:
In the first step, stays need to be glued in in the longitudinal axis of the pressure-sided rotor blade shell half. After the stays in Read more ...

Automate coating processes of large aero structure sub-assembly utilizing “C.A.O.T.S” (Commercially Available Off The Shelf) technologies.

Large and complex metal products in construction and heavy industries are fabricated partially by semi-automatic welding machines and largely by expert welders, a highly labor intensive task. Robots repeatedly perform welding operations efficiently and accurately with a consistent level of quality. They relieve welders of the drudgery and difficulties associated with repetitive, unhealthy, dangerous, complex, and difficult tasks.
Welding automation is more commonly Read more ...
