Structure of the FiberCheck sensor

1. Measuring wire technology:

• A high-precision measuring wire is precisely applied to a special glass fleece using the latest embroidery technology.

• This technique ensures a uniform and reproducible sensor structure.

2. Multi-layer lamination:

• The embroidered glass fleece is carefully laminated into several layers of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP).

• This process protects the sensor and at the same time ensures optimal force transmission from the rotor blade to the measuring wire.

3. Flexible integration options:

• Direct integration:

  • The sensor can be integrated directly into the manufacturer's rotor blade design.

  • This enables seamless integration into new rotor blades without subsequent modifications.
    

• Retrofit solution:

  • Alternatively, we offer a 20 cm long measuring bridge that can be retrofitted into any wind turbine in operation.

  • This solution enables easy retrofitting of existing systems.

4. Robust housing technology:

• The measuring bridge is provided with a robust housing that offers protection against environmental influences.

5. Modern electronics:

• Sophisticated electronic components process the sensor signals and ensure precise data transmission.

6. Made in Germany:

• The entire production takes place in Germany under the strictest quality controls.

7. Material compatibility:

• By using GL-certified glass fiber laminate, almost identical mechanical properties are achieved as the rotor blade material to be monitored.

These textile-based strain sensors are precisely integrated into the fiber-reinforced plastic composite structure during component manufacturing. This creates a sensor firmly bonded to the structure that reliably detects even the slightest strain and remains functional throughout the entire service life of the rotor blade.
