A start-up company from Brandenburg has developed a mobile maintenance platform for the rotors of wind turbines that allows repair work to be carried out in almost any weather and at any time of day. On board are our flexible cables, energy chain and plain bearings.
In addition, the developers at WP Systems are already working on the next promising projects. For example, a maintenance platform for the rotors of offshore wind turbines has already been developed. Here too, chainflex® cable will be used when it is ready for series production.
Two further development projects will enable the unmanned crane-bound concrete tower dismantling of wind turbines. There is great demand here. The licence for a wind turbine expires after a defined period of time. This means that around 8,000 towers will have to be dismantled by 2030 in Germany alone. WP Systems is developing the technologies for this.
One of the challenges here is that the tower (viewed from above) increases in diameter from around two to eight metres. This also places high demands on the mobility and flexibility of the system - ideal conditions for the use of components from igus®.
