Every turbine · Every connection · Every bolt
Automated bolting for a stronger tomorrow.
Patented robotics that tighten every bolt in a wind turbine flange — automatically, repeatably, traceably.
The challenge
Hundreds of bolts. One connection.
A single flange can hold hundreds of high-strength bolts, with sizes up to M72, M80, M90 and even M100. For decades, skilled technicians with powerful hydraulic tools have assembled them by hand — a complex task, repeated hundreds of times at great heights.
But what happened to each bolt?
Changes in one bolt affect the others.
A bolted flange is not a collection of independent bolts. A change in one part of the connection affects how loads are distributed throughout the joint — so every bolt needs to be right, and known.
The solution
Manual process → automated process.
ADMEDE combines patented robotic technology with proven industrial bolting components supplied by Atlas Copco. The robot moves from bolt to bolt and executes a defined tightening sequence.
Safer by design
People supervise. The robot performs.
Automation changes where people need to be. The operator supervises from a safer position, while every bolt is logged — a record bolt by bolt, turbine by turbine.

Condition Monitoring
Inspect. Verify. Maintain.
Existing connections can be systematically rechecked. Bolt condition is assessed and maintenance targeted — rather than based on assumptions.

A new level of insight and confidence.
Manufacturers
Documented, to-spec tightening of every connection — and freedom in tower design.
Asset owners
Know the condition of every bolt. Target maintenance instead of relying on assumptions.
Insurers
Individual bolt data reveals exceptions before they develop into larger issues.
Every turbine.
Every connection.
Every bolt.
When the condition of every bolt is known, we can build a more resilient and sustainable energy future.
