Sanding, Painting and Cleaning of Blades | Production Equipment

ENABL Semi-Automatic Sander (SAS)

Flexible, fast and safe sanding of any type of wind turbine component.

A semi-automated sanding unit from ENABL is an advanced robotic solution that performs sanding treatment of all types and sizes of wind turbine blades and other main components.

The actual sanding process is fully automatic, and the unit is able to detect the shape of the blade without pre-programming and is controlled by just one operator.

Due to an integrated dust suction system, well-known issues with dust in the production facility are reduced to a minimum, and as a result the working environment is significantly improved. The unit is able to operate with all types of sanding materials.

Compared to manual sanding, a semi-automated sanding unit performs the sanding process faster, more efficiently, economically and with a much more consistent finish.

Blade Cleaning – add on to SAS

A system of brushes fixed to the sanding head ensures that the surface is left clean and ready for painting. Often this feature will save the blade manufacturer a working process.
