Hello! We are LEBO ROBOTICS.
The other day, we invited businesses and wind turbine manufacturers to our office to hold a demonstration of how we use robots to repair wind turbine blades!
In this article, we will introduce an overview of the demo, the reactions and feedback received from participants, and future developments!
Demo Overview
Event Schedule | February 18, 2025 |
Venue | LEBO ROBOTICS Headquarters |
participants | Wind power generation companies, wind turbine manufacturers, etc. |
Content | Opening Ceremony - Demonstration of repair process using robots ・Question and Answer Session |
Implementation details
On the day, the robot demonstrated the following repair process:
①Grinding (damage polishing)
Polishing scratches on wind turbine blades and preparing for repairs
↓
② Putty application
Putty is applied by a robot to smooth out any unevenness after polishing.
↓
③Blade forming
The shape after applying putty is adjusted to reproduce the original curve of the blade.
↓
④ Footing polishing
Finishing the surface to the proper condition before painting improves the adhesion of the paint film
↓
⑤Painting
The finishing touch is done by a robot painting the parts.
Through these processes, we have demonstrated that robots can perform repairs with the same or higher accuracy as manual repairs. Please take a look at the before and after condition of an actual blade repaired by a robot!
Participants were able to actually touch the repaired blades and see the difference.
From the participants:
"It's amazing how the paint is perfectly finished despite the unevenness of the blade surface."
・" The repair work is uniform and the quality is consistent, which is impressive ."
・"I would like to consider the possibility of introducing it while taking into account the cost aspect."
We received comments such as the following, and the high level of precision and practicality of the robotic repair was highly praised!
Based on the feedback obtained through this demonstration, we will continue to provide support for further functional improvements and implementation, such as improving work speed, improving the painting unit, clarifying cost-effectiveness, and proposing individual implementation plans.
Announcement of the next demo event
For businesses that were unable to participate this time and those who would like to know more details,
