Innovative measurement technology

The FiberCheck sensor is based on a high-precision measuring wire laminated in glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP).

This advanced technology enables extremely accurate and reliable measurement of loads in wind turbines.

Continuous monitoring

This measuring wire continuously records the strain and vibration of the material. Constant monitoring allows even the smallest changes to be detected in real time, enabling proactive maintenance and optimization of the system.

Early damage detection

Thanks to its unique design, the sensor can detect even the smallest changes in the structure of the rotor blade, providing early warning of potential damage. This precise measurement capability allows problems to be identified before they lead to serious damage or failure.

Structure of the FiberCheck sensor

The FiberCheck sensor is characterized by its innovative design, which enables precise and reliable measurements.
