How to ensure high-quality assembly in wind energy plants?

2021-12-08 11:38:25 By : Ms. Cindy Wang

The energy industry is becoming increasingly globalized and competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Larger bolts, more extreme environments and longer product life cycles mean that new bolt solutions are needed to support the goal of maintenance-free bolt assembly.

In order to meet these needs, the implementation of smart factory technology in a field-based environment is a key approach, which will ensure that the highest quality products are manufactured, installed and operated throughout the product life cycle, while reducing risks and costs.

If the process control and documentation functions used in today’s production facilities are deployed in the operation and maintenance environment, this will have a significant positive impact on the OEM and energy industry contractors as a whole, involving higher quality delivery work, lower costs, and Improved operational efficiency.

This was impossible in the past, but the new availability of mobile connections, the cloud, and smart devices make this a reality today. Now, the availability of these solutions makes it possible to bring the "smart factory" into a field-based operating work environment.

In order to have a truly connected and efficient system, all bolting technologies (hydraulic torque, bolt tension, continuous rotation) must have a common user interface for operation process control and analysis and data traceability. Vital. This is what we call Atlas Copco smart connection bolt connection.

The energy industry is undergoing tremendous changes. Not only must there be a transition from fossil fuel sources to clean renewable energy, but all energy sector operations need to increase productivity and reduce costs to remain competitive. This drives the demand for smart bolting solutions that can improve operational efficiency in terms of faster process time, fewer bolt connection failures, and optimized service costs. At Atlas Copco, we are developing innovative new solutions that enable Industry 4.0 to be applied not only in factories, but also in the field.

It is an electric high-flow gear pump equipped with a high-flow intensifier to provide uniform and extremely high speed. In the case of other pumps, especially when the speed becomes slow when tensioned many times under high pressure, the working speed of this pump is increased by 30%. No oil, voltage fluctuations or abnormal high temperature alarms on the LCD screen can help you take action and prevent damage and interference with your work.

High torque smart battery tightener SRBHA

SRB HA is the most efficient battery tightener in the world. The added features make it faster, safer and smarter than the competition. The integrated torque and angle sensors ensure that all tightening is completed correctly and all data are recorded, while the operator's feedback on the tool reduces errors at the source. The tightening wrench is also equipped with a double trigger to minimize the risk of injury. This is the only product of its kind on the market.

REVO high-end electric wrenches are the faster, high-torque tools on the market that help increase productivity. This is the first rotary sensor tool in this market segment with a PF XC controller, bringing complete process traceability, angle control and monitoring to ensure perfect joint quality. It is designed to provide the best power-to-weight ratio and provide many safety features to protect the operator from injury.

It is our patented world's fastest automatic retracting bolt tensioner, which can significantly save operating costs. The contraction speed of Airbac technology is 4.5 times faster than traditional spring return tensioners.

This technology eliminates the need to manually return the piston, thus reducing the workload of the operator and reducing the risk of injury.
