| Projectdescription Stork Gears & Services acquired the contract for the complete overhaul of the parallel gearbox of the wind turbine. The project also involved the manufacturing of the ancillary equipment by reverse engineering. These gearbox applications are subjected to high loads and suffer from high rates of wear under such demanding usage. Modification of the spline coupling between the planetary and helical part was necessary. Stork Gears & Services modified the spline coupling with laser cladding repair techniques. Laser cladding is a highly flexible repair technique and a promising technology to restore damaged parts instead of replacement. The whole project was executed within six weeks, in close cooperation with the service company Hoeksta. Scope Complete gearbox overhaul Wear protection by lasercladding Modification of the spline coupling Manufacturing of ancillary equipment Strength calculations and measurements Advantages Our Laserclad facilities» | ||
