Automating Wind-Turbine Blade Fabrication

In Part 1 of this interview with John Hawthorne, Application Engineer at MAG Industrial Automation Systems, John discusses new systems that automate composite wind-turbine blade fabrication. The company's new Rapid Material Placement System (RMPS) and quick-cure molding system for wind blades combine to reduce labor content by two-thirds, double throughput, and produce a consistently high-quality blade from the start of a shift to the end.
