Portable Videoscope for Wind Turbine Inspections
Remote visual inspection of wind turbines is needed to inspect gear boxes, wind turbine blades,and o
ther critical components. A video borescope or videoscope is used to inspect the interior areas that are not accessible. A video borescope or videoscope can be inserted into impossible to reach areas that will allow the borescope camera to view the interior components. Borescope inspection of areas such as the gear box and interior of the turbine blades allows engineers to check for overall condition of the component. A videoscope or video borescope can reveal hairline cracks, corrosion, pitting, rubbing and other defects.
