ABSTRACT

Inner Mongolia is located in the north of China, where the development of wind power industry is outstanding. Because of the surrounding environment’s destruction by frequent sandstorm phenomena in recent years, wind fan blades are severely damaged. The purpose of this paper is to use PLC and touch screen to realize quantitative content of sediment erosion wear in accurate control. The whole test system with high precision and accurate control, has a practical value in the study of the fan blade abrasion.
