Quest has developed an inspection bundle for winders, specifically to complete all the required inspections without the need to disassemble the winder components.

 

Winder Inspection Bundle
The Winder Inspection Bundle is performed during one day (if operations allow) and consists of the following inspections:

Drum shaft
• NDT: ToFD inspection
• Mechanical inspection: Alignment and bearing inspection

Gearbox
• NDT: Gear and Pinion inspection (Eddy current or Magnetic Particle)
• Mechanical: Contact area

Brake Components
• NDT: In-situ testing of winder brake components using phased array ultrasonic

Sheave Spindles
• NDT: Magnetic particle or eddy current inspection
• Mechanical: Sheave wheel to winder drum alignment
 

Benefits of the Winder Inspection Bundle:
• Reduction of labour (Cleaning gear teeth)
• No need to clean the gear teeth
• No more cleaning solvents trapped in the lubrication
• Reduction of inspection time
• Reduction in total inspection cost
• Inspection can be moved to the week as opposed to carrying out inspection over weekends
• Brake components do not need to be disassembled, reducing the risk of components ceasing
• One report covering total condition of winder components
• One order number
