How it works
How internal blade inspections are done.
01
Open the root.
The turbine is stopped and the blade locked. The technician opens the root hatch as for any internal inspection.
02
Place the crawler.
Detectra is lifted into the root and the pull-out cable is clipped on.
03
Connect the tablet.
The tablet joins the crawler's own wireless link. No internet is needed inside the blade.
04
Drive and record.
The operator drives from chamber to chamber, lights on, recording in short takes. Distance travelled is logged with every take.
05
Pull it back.
Detectra drives back to the root, or is pulled back on the cable.
06
Upload.
Recordings are copied from the crawler to the customer's PC and uploaded to Fenestra. Review starts the same day.
About 15 minutes of capture per blade. Up to 12 blades per day on one set of batteries.
