Measurement solution for the wind power industry

FW (Suzhou) Transmission System Co, Ltd (FW) is a leading high-tech company specializing in the development, design, production and sales of high-quality mechanical transmission solutions. Its products, including industrial gearboxes, planetary gearboxes and industry-specific gearboxes, are used in wind energy, oil exploration, offshore platforms and other industries. As the company continued to expand and grow, so did the size of their products, which brought new challenges in quality assurance.

In the wind power industry, gearboxes are crucial components that transfer the energy produced by the wind turbine to the generator and generate the necessary speed. These gearboxes are exposed to extreme environmental conditions and are often located in places that are difficult to access. Reliability and durability are therefore of the utmost importance. To meet these requirements, FW opted for the high-precision coordinate measuring machine WENZEL LHF 3020.

The WENZEL LHF 3020 combines the functions of a coordinate measuring machine with gear inspection, enabling multiple measurements in a single installation. Jianxiang Song, an engineer from FW, emphasizes: "The WENZEL LHF 3020 combines gear inspection and coordinate measurement and allows us to perform multiple measurements with just one installation. This helps us to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our manufacturing process."

Before the introduction of the WENZEL LHF 3020, FW had to use separate machines for measuring gears and coordinates, which was time-consuming and error-prone. With the LHF 3020, these measurements can now be carried out simultaneously, which significantly increases efficiency and reduces measurement errors. "Compared to the previous method, we can now significantly increase our measurement efficiency, reduce measurement errors and improve our measurement accuracy," says Jianxiang Song.

Jianxiang Song praises the support of WENZEL: "Their engineers helped us to overcome many difficulties in measurement and responded quickly to our urgent needs. We look forward to more effective solutions from WENZEL." With a new wind power and energy storage project in the pipeline, FW continues to rely on the proven precision and reliability of measurement solutions from WENZEL.

WENZEL, a German company with over 50 years of experience in the metrology, has established itself as a synonym for high precision, reliability and technical expertise. With innovative solutions such as the LHF 3020, WENZEL helps companies like FW to continuously improve the efficiency and quality of their products and successfully meet the challenges of the wind power industry.
