PROFILOMETRY INSPECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SPAR CAPS OF COMPOSITE WIND TURBINE BLADES

The present application provides a method of inspecting composite turbine blade spar caps during lay-up and a turbine blade profilometry inspection system (280). The method may include the steps of applying a layer (260) to a mold (300), measuring a surface characteristic of the layer (260) with a p...

Zusammenfassung:The present application provides a method of inspecting composite turbine blade spar caps during lay-up and a turbine blade profilometry inspection system (280). The method may include the steps of applying a layer (260) to a mold (300), measuring a surface characteristic of the layer (260) with a profilometer (290), and determining if the layer (260) has an out of plane wave (270) therein based on the measured surface characteristic.
