Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018029153A1] The invention relates to a device for monitoring mechanical connection points in an installation, in particular in a wind turbine, having: at least one optical imaging device, which is designed to digitally capture optical images of one or more connection points repeatedly, in particular regularly or continuously; and a comparison device for comparing images with reference images or for comparing parameters of the images with reference parameters and for generating an error signal relating to the connection point reproduced in an image as soon as the deviations of the image from a reference image or of a parameter from a reference parameter exceed a specified threshold during imaging. Monitoring of mechanical connection points can thus be automated and systematised, and maintenance costs can be reduced. Operation of the monitored installation is also made safer.
