Measurement solution for the wind power industry

FW (Suzhou) Transmission System Co., Ltd. (FW) is a leading high-tech company that specializes in the development, design, production and sale of high-quality mechanical transmission solutions. Their products, including industrial gears, planetary gears and industry-specific gearboxes, are used in wind energy, oil production, offshore platforms, and other industries. As the company continued to expand and grow, so did the size of their products, which brought new challenges in quality assurance.

In the wind power industry, gearboxes are crucial components that transfer the energy generated by the wind turbine to the generator and generate the necessary speed. These transmissions are exposed to extreme environmental conditions and are often located in hard-to-reach places. Reliability and durability are therefore of paramount importance. To meet these requirements, FW opted for the WENZEL LHF 3020 high-precision coordinate measuring machine.

The WENZEL LHF 3020 combines the functions of a coordinate measuring machine with gear inspection and thus enables multiple measurements in a single installation. Jianxiang Song, an engineer from FW, points out: “The WENZEL LHF 3020 combines gear inspection and coordinate measurement and allows us to carry out multiple measurements with just one installation. This helps us improve the efficiency and accuracy of our manufacturing process.”

Before introducing the WENZEL LHF 3020, FW had to use separate machines to measure gears and coordinates, which was time-consuming and prone to errors. With the LHF 3020, these measurements can now be carried out simultaneously, which significantly increases efficiency and reduces measurement errors. “Compared to the previous method, we can now significantly increase our measurement efficiency, reduce measurement errors and improve our measurement accuracy,” says Jianxiang Song.

Jianxiang Song praises WENZEL's support: “Your engineers helped us overcome many measurement difficulties and responded quickly to our urgent needs. We are looking forward to further effective solutions from WENZEL.” With a new wind power and energy storage project being planned, FW continues to rely on the proven precision and reliability of WENZEL's measurement solutions.

WENZEL, a German company with over 50 years of experience in measurement technology, has established itself as a synonym for high precision, reliability and technical expertise. Through innovative solutions such as the LHF 3020, WENZEL helps companies such as FW to continuously improve the efficiency and quality of their products and to successfully meet the challenges of the wind power industry.
