R-Corner Grinding of Wind Turbine Blades with Camera-to-CAD Comparison

Wind turbine blade R-corners require high precision; manual programming takes years of expertise

Blade Grinding R-Corner Point Cloud CAD Comparison

CAD vs. Reality

Real-time comparison of 3D scan to design geometry

R-Corner Precision

Consistent corner geometry across all blade units

Point Cloud Sim

Full 3D simulation of the grinding process before touching the part

Expert Knowledge

Software encodes decades of grinding expertise

Application demonstration ?HedraCAM robotic blade-grinding solution

The Solution

3D camera scans the real blade surface; system compares scan data directly against 3D CAD
R-corner grinding toolpath is generated from the comparison data ?not the nominal CAD alone
Full simulation of 3D point cloud processing validates the entire grinding process
Years of expert 'know-how' encoded in the software ?operators achieve expert results without decades of training

"Our apprentices produce expert-quality R-corners on their first week."
