BOLTcontrol - bolt breakage detection system for wind turbines

BOLTcontrol is a monitoring system that detects broken bolts in wind turbines. The system prevents consequential damage as broken bolts are held securely in place.

BOLTcontrol - bolt breakage detection system for wind turbines

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.
