PCD tools for machining wind turbine blades

What is wind turbine?

A wind turbine is a mechanical device that converts wind energy into electricity. Wind turbines are designed to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is the movement of the shaft. Then, in a turbine generator, this mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The electricity generated can be stored in batteries or used directly.

The principle of wind power generation

The principle of wind power generation is to use the wind to drive the wind turbine blades to rotate, and then increase the speed of rotation through the speed increaser to promote the generator to generate electricity .

Wind Turbine Blade Trends

Wind turbine blades must be sufficiently light. Under the same wind speed, the lighter blades are easier to rotate, and the wind power conversion efficiency will be greatly improved. In addition, high strength and high toughness are required to meet service life requirements of several decades. Finally, the cost should be low. Therefore, the development of blade materials is a gradual lightweight, high-performance, and low-cost screening and development process.

Wind turbine blades material：With the accumulation of application technology, long fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites have become the first choice for large wind turbine blade materials due to their excellent mechanical properties, process properties and environmental erosion resistance. The fibers here are mainly glass fiber and carbon fiber.

The difficults of machineing  carbon fiber and glass fiber

Drilling is a common and important process in the processing of composite materials, especially carbon fiber. Hole machining on composite materials is prone to defects such as material burns, poor hole machining surface quality, delamination, tearing and collapse.

The pcd tool has a sharp and wear-resistant cutting edge,effectively solve the problems that arise during the processing of composite materials like material delamination, tearing, burrs and other defects.
