Under their brand, IHF Fastener Systems, ITH Bolting Technology have developed a fastener system for bolts up to M80 (3 1/8”), which are specifically designed to match the technical demands of onshore and offshore wind turbine joints.
The bolting concept includes the technical coordination of ITH bolting tool systems with digital management software, specifically designed for IHF fasteners. The method offers reproducible pre-tensioning forces within a close tolerance of ±2.0 percent. Depending on the demand of the customer, the bolting procedure and functions can be modified. All captured data such as applied pressure, applied preloads, angles of rotation of the nut run-down, bolt-ID, and more application data can be sent to a customer cloud.
