Manual inspection of surface defects is slow, subjective, and inconsistent, leading to missed defects, costly rework, and audit risk. waveCHECK replaces uncertainty with speed, precision, and objective 3D analysis so you can analyze defects early, act with confidence, and deliver blades that meet spec every time.
waveCHECK is a handheld-portable 3D-inspection tool for inspecting wind turbine blades in manufacturing and operation. Its efficient detection of surface defects and instant visual feedback revolutionize surface inspection.
waveCHECK’s powerful detection and instant analysis revolutionize blade inspection. The user-centric design allows for quick deployment in existing workflows: 1-Button Operation, zero Post-Processing.

waveCHECK is a first-of-its-kind solution for end-to-end digital analysis of composite waviness. It empowers manufacturing teams to quantify composite waviness with unprecedented precision and repeatability.
waveCHECK is a handheld 3D surface inspection system designed to measure and document wrinkles, steps, and surface defects on composite wind turbine blades, with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Wind turbine blade manufacturers and those involved in their operation and maintenance would greatly benefit from integrating waveCHECK in their workflow.
waveCHECK detects and quantifies positive and negative wrinkles, step defects, and surface offsets. It also provides key measurements like wrinkle height, slope, angle relative to fiber direction, and shortest distance to edge.
Yes. waveCHECK is optimized for both carbon and glass fiber composites, and works reliably on curved, bonded, or reflective surfaces commonly found in blade manufacturing.
Absolutely. waveCHECK supports inspections during post-cure, pre-bonding, or final QA stages, helping manufacturers identify defects early and avoid costly downstream repairs or scrap.
waveCHECK provides fully digital inspection reports with visual overlays, 3D analysis, and numerical results. Reports are exportable in formats suitable for QA documentation, traceability, and audits.
Yes. waveCHECK tools are calibrated at 8tree’s ISO 17025-accredited calibration facility, ensuring traceability to national standards, measurement confidence, and compliance with global quality standards. Calibration certificates are provided with every unit and re-calibration is recommended annually to maintain accuracy and certification integrity.
Yes. 8tree provides on-site or remote training, onboarding support, and ongoing technical assistance. We also offer calibration services and software updates to keep your waveCHECK tools inspection-ready.
