Inspection of Wind Turbines

Wind turbine maintenance relies on the regular inspection of turbine parts, including enclosed, difficult-to-access spaces. Without the proper equipment, wind turbine inspection can be difficult and time-consuming, resulting in extended periods of downtime and interrupting energy generation.

Our wind turbine inspection video borescopes enable you to look inside of a wind turbine for easy visual inspection of the gearbox. We offer kits that include oil clearing optical tip adapters and oil-resistant coating insertion tubes to prevent oil from obstructing your view and for easy post-inspection cleanup.

Our durable, lightweight borescope inspection systems for wind turbines are compact and easy to carry, making them ideal for on-site inspections. The wind turbine inspection kits include interchangeable insertion tubes, allowing quick replacement of damaged scopes and minimizing downtime in the field.

Wind Turbine Inspection Accessories

We offer a variety of accessories to improve your wind gearbox inspection efficiency:

LED Guide Tube (MAJ-2535): The semiflexible guide tube with LED illumination makes it easier for you to reach the area you want to inspect and brightly illuminates the interior of large gearboxes.

Flex and Stay Tube: The slim 10 mm (0.39 in.) diameter flex and stay tube helps you to navigate the insertion tube to your target in a small space by forming it to your desired shape.

Magnet Hook and Arm: The magnet hook and arm enable you to fix the borescope inspection tools in a comfortable position for efficient inspections in a cramped nacelle.

Wind Turbine Inspection Borescope FAQs

What is a wind turbine borescope?

A wind turbine borescope is a specialized inspection tool used to examine hard-to-reach internal components of a wind turbine, such as blades, gearboxes, and generators, without disassembling them. It consists of a flexible tube with a camera and light at the tip, allowing technicians to capture high-resolution images or video inside confined spaces. This helps identify cracks, corrosion, or wear early, improving maintenance efficiency and preventing costly downtime.

What are the benefits of using borescopes for wind turbine inspections?

The benefits of using a wind turbine borescope include early detection of damage or wear, which helps prevent costly failures and unplanned downtime. It allows for non-invasive inspections, reducing the need for disassembly and minimizing labor and maintenance costs. Additionally, it improves safety by limiting the need for technicians to work in high or confined spaces while providing clear, detailed visual documentation for maintenance planning.
