Als CNC Onsite, ein dänischer Experte für Werkzeugmaschinetechnik, auf der Suche nach einem Partner für seine Lösung zur Reparatur von Rotorblattwurzeln war, hatte das Unternehmen das Glück, mit dem niederländischen Rotorblattspezialisten We4Ce zusammenzukommen, der in derselben Ausstellungshalle auf der Husum Wind präsent war. Zwei Jahre später können die Unternehmen die erfolgreiche Entwicklung und Markteinführung des Reparaturdienstes für Rotorblätter feiern, der Reparaturen vor Ort innerhalb weniger Tage ermöglicht, anstatt das Blatt, wie in der Branche üblich, teuer zur Reparatur zu transportieren.
Wind turbine blade roots are traditionally repaired at the manufacturer, requiring costly logistics and long downtime, often leaving operators with no choice but to purchase a new blade or scrap the entire turbine. A new, portable machining tool can efficiently replace damaged inserts in blade roots, offering economical, precision repairs carried out at the wind farm, eliminating transport costs and approval (financial and environmental), as well as waiting times for a repair slot.
