BOLTcontrol

Monitor blade bearing bolts safely, permanently and easily

The patented BOLTcontrol monitoring system recognises broken bolts and prevents consequential damage to wind turbines. By continuously monitoring the rotor blade bolts, BOLTcontrol minimises downtimes, reduces repair costs and ensures the safe continued operation of the turbine.

Your benefits with our bolt monitoring solution

Prevention of consequential damage

BOLTcontrol holds broken bolts securely in place to avoid costly repairs and downtime.

Ensure safe continued operation

BOLTcontrol makes the continued operation of the system more economical and safer by continuously monitoring the blade bolts, making time-consuming bolt replacement and costly on-site inspections obsolete.

Quick and easy to retrofit

BOLTcontrol can be adapted to many turbine types. The system is quick and easy to retrofit as it is attached using magnets. It sends an alarm message as soon as a bolt breakage is detected.
