High-precision Surface Inspection

waveCHECK is a handheld-portable 3D-inspection tool for inspecting wind turbine blades in manufacturing and operation. Its efficient detection of surface defects and instant visual feedback revolutionize surface inspection.

Applications:

• Waves and Wrinkles
• Steps between core material panels and/or pre-fabricated components
• Gaps between core material panels during lay-up
• Flaws in paint/top coat
• Chamfers, e.g. of bond line edges
• Rain Erosion
• Any other surface damage that is reflected in the surface topology/topography

Surface analysis with zero post-processing

waveCHECK’s powerful detection and instant analysis revolutionize blade inspection. The user-centric design allows for quick deployment in existing workflows: 1-Button Operation, zero Post-Processing.

Market-proven waviness analysis with instant visual feedback

waveCHECK is a first-of-its-kind solution for end-to-end digital analysis of composite waviness. It empowers manufacturing teams to quantify composite waviness with unprecedented precision and repeatability.

Detects & displays:

• Positive, Negative and Step waves & wrinkles
• Highest point; shortest distance to edge, in main fiber direction
• Aspect ratio
• Angle of wave with respect to main fiber direction
• Works on carbon fiber and glass fiber surfaces

What to expect from waveCHECK?

• Industry-leading Repeatability & Accuracy
• No Subjectivity – Take out the Guess Work!
• Sets the Benchmark for Gage R&R Scores
• Far Exceeds Quality of Traditional Methods (e.g. comb-gauge)
• Enjoy the Simplicity of a Camera & the Accuracy of a Scientific Instrument
