Power Generation

Solar power, nuclear power, wind power and hydroelectric power, coal, crude oil and natural gas, geothermal and biomass - these fossil and renewable sources of energy are all used to generate heat and electricity these days. An entire industry is involved in the manufacture of systems that make use of these sources of energy. An industry with future that relies on the high-tech measuring systems from Hexagon Metrology.

Portable total stations from Leica Geosystems simplify, for instance, the maintenance of hydroelectric power stations, coordinate measuring systems from Leitz provide the necessary accuracy during the construction of wind turbines. Advance the development of the energy market with the accuracy of our portable and stationary coordinate measuring systems.

Leitz CMM measures components of wind energy plants

Only fifty microns is the tolerance on the axle bores of a 4-ton transmission case used in a wind turbine. The Belgian manufacturer TVL achieves reproducible measurement of the complex and nearly inaccessible geometry in about 30 minutes on a Leitz precision coordinate measuring machine made by Hexagon Metrology, ...
