At this year’s at WindEnergy 2014 trade fair in its home town of Hamburg, Leine Linde Systems is presenting a standard-setting high-efficiency ice detection system for wind turbines for the first time: While conventional ice sensors warn against ice after it has already formed, IPMS relies on a preventive system. That pays off for system…

Leine & Linde introduces a new stainless steel version of the well known ISA and IHA 600 series of absolute rotary encoders. Designed to provide motion control and feedback for machines in harsh environments, the IXA 600 stainless steel model is useful in applications where the encoder is subject to saltwater, acids, or other aggressive…

Service planning made more efficient Onshore and offshore wind turbines are usually geographically distributed, and are therefore relatively far from service stations. As a result, unexpected servicing is incredibly involved and expensive. Wind turbine manufacturers, managers, and operators will benefit from the ADSR’s advanced diagnostic system, making it a smart solution for condition based maintenance…
