INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT: HOW WIND TURBINE  MANUFACTURERS ARE ASSURED OF SLIP RING QUALITY

As the green energy sector grows, OEM supply chains need assurance that components are delivered within spec. The automated Slip Ring Tester from MK Test Systems ensures QC compliance thanks to its fast and accurate measurement and reporting.

TURN YOUR SLIP RING TESTING AROUND

You might be supplying slip rings to wind turbine manufacturers, or a wind turbine OEM seeking improvements on the quality of components from your supplier. Either way, it’s worth assessing whether the test equipment currently used within the QC process is up to the job.

Does your current test system struggle with resistive noise? The SRT doesn’t!

We worked with some of the largest slip ring manufacturers in the world to deliver their exact requirements and minimise common problems such as noise.

 

BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE WIND TURBINE SUPPLY CHAIN:

The SRT is a next generation, purpose designed slip ring test system. It not just replaces the legacy brand, it’s defining the new industry standard . Become an early adopter and experience the following benefits:

 

Purpose-designed hardware
The SRT has the lowest noise characteristics of any ATE solution, at typically >50kHz.  We’ve integrated an oscilloscope into the build, providing graph data and trace for every channel.

 

Faster testing, better data

Just like the hardware, our software has been developed specifically for slip ring testing. It enables you to create test programs quickly and easily.

Reports are generated automatically, with customization options available, including graphics.

The system can communicate with third party environmental test systems such as climate chambers or vibration beds.
