TensionPro has developed Quantum, a new semi-automated tensioning system with a digitally controlled pump unit connected to an electro-hydraulic tensioning tool.
The tensioning system can be configured for use on original equipment manufacturer (OEM) factory assembly lines, onshore and offshore construction and installation, or for ongoing maintenance projects. The system is suitable for wind turbine generator applications, such as working on the monopile to transition piece, foundation bolts, tower bolts, blade bolts, and gearbox.
Quantum features an electronically controlled pump with a digital LCD and integral printed circuit board (PCB) to control the pump, store preset programmes, and record crucial bolt-tightening data. Presets specific to each bolt or application are pre-programmed into the system prior to use. The tensioner can be used with or without a Lift & Move trolley, depending on the application space and bolt sizes.
