Blade Monitoring System

Weidmuller USA, Richmond, VA, has introduced BOLTcontrol — an innovative monitoring system that detects broken bolts or studs in the blade root that connects to the hub and alerts operators immediately. With BOLTcontrol, broken bolts are held securely in place with detection plates, which prevents consequential damage that would result if the pieces fell into the hub and ricocheted as it rotated. So, it minimizes downtime and reduces repair costs.
