Wind energy has been the fastest growing energy source in the world since 1990. Wind power generating capacity increased by 27% in 2006 and an additional 45% in 2007, proving wind is now a mainstream option for new power generation.
"The high global demand for wind turbines is driving an unprecedented growth in the wind energy industry," said Roy Shurling, Senior Vice President for Lectra's Worldwide Automotive and Transportation Markets.
"By offering a complete solution from product design through manufacturing that results from our strong commitment to innovation, Lectra's high performance solutions for the conception, industrialization and cutting of industrial fabrics ensure that our wind turbine clients are well positioned to meet the needs of this growing sector."
Lectra cutting solutions: power with intelligence:
At the show Lectra will present its newest VectorTechTex which is ideally suited to wind turbine blade manufactures needing to process a variety of materials from pre-preg carbons, multiple layer cutting of dry materials like fibreglass and even the capability to cut some core materials such as phenolic honeycomb.
The entire Lectra range of dedicated cutting solutions for industrial fabrics brings the most advanced response to the production needs of manufacturers working with sophisticated materials. Lectra's range incorporates a suite of cutting solutions for single ply low volume pre-preg materials to high volume multilayer cutting of aramid materials such as fiberglass, Kevlar, Spectre and dry carbon. Lectra is the only company that can supply cutting solutions based on drag knife, wheel, laser and oscillating knife technology to perfectly meet the challenges of its clients.
Today, cutting precision and traceability are essential for companies processing industrial fabrics and Lectra solutions are perfectly adapted to these constraints. They are user friendly, provide process security, and have integrated features to ensure maximum performance and production availability.
High performance 3D/2D conception software:
Lectra will also present DesignConcept TechTex, its 3D/2D conception and industrialization solution dedicated to advanced materials. Based on Lectra's solid experience in industrial manufacturing solutions, this application provides powerful tools to facilitate the analysis of product feasibility, finished product quality, and cost, thus enabling companies to make key decisions in the product development phase of wind turbine blades and thereby reduce time to market and minimize costs.
