Part 1: Green Technology ~ Wind Turbines and CNC
Posted by Bert Maes on July 2, 2009
This is one of those charts I’ll love to use. It deserves some further research and clarification, so I’ll write a few posts on the role of CNC machining in the next “waves of innovation”.
Part 1: Green Technology ~ Wind Turbines and CNC
Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine tools are vital in the wind turbine industry.
CNC machines are actually big computers to shape steel, aluminium, titanium or plastic into critical components of the wind turbine. From the smallest pieces to the giant parts: all are one or two steps away from CNC machining.
CNC technologists first create or review a CAD/CAM computer model for the specific wind turbine part to be made. Next, they load the program in the machine, they select the tools and equipment needed to shape the piece, and calculate where to cut or drill.
They use their knowledge and skills in materials, computers and machine tools to produce the part to extremely precise specifications.
It must be extremely rewarding to design technology and create solutions that are very relevant in society and make a real difference for our future.
Don’t you think?

Good post. I learn something new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon everyday.
It will always be exciting to read content from
other authors and use a little something from their websites.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year
old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed
the shell to her ear and
screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

In addition to the gallery space SECCA has a large auditorium for music concerts,
movies, and family fun activity days. Pages, magazines, business cards, presentation, advertisements and logos are
typical put together by graphic design. In some cases the graphics drive the prototyping; but this ultimately
depends on the importance of visual form versus function.

Can I just say what a relief to uncover a person that really understands what they are talking about on the
web. You definitely realize how to bring a problem to
light and make it important. More and more people ought to read this and understand this side of your story.
I was surprised you’re not more popular because you certainly possess the gift.

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with
hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
many months of hard work due to no data backup.
Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking
forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
