Abstract: Method and apparatus for handling aerogenerator blades that provide a versatile means for handling aerogenerator blades without an unbalanced distribution of the loads in the blade. The method comprises positioning an upper mounting part (103) over the blade after the upper mold has been retracted; lifting the blade with the upper mounting part from the under mold using a lifting means; positioning the blade over an under mounting part (104) which is fixedly attached to an inferior movable support (102); attaching the upper mounting part to the under mounting part, wherein the upper and under mounting parts together have the inner surface substantially corresponding to the shape of the blade outer profile section. The invention further comprises an apparatus for handling aerogenerator blades.

Abstract: Provided is a method of assembling an aerogenerator blade tip segment. The method includes: removing an outboard tip end part of an aerogenerator blade; removing at least a portion of a leading edge panel and at least a portion of a trailing edge panel from a remaining outboard end of the aerogenerator blade, thus forming a body and a projection extending in a substantially longitudinal direction from an outboard end of the body, the projection having a spar cap portion and a shear web portion; removing a coating from an outer surface of the projection; attaching at least one reinforcement to the shear web portion of the projection; bonding a tip segment to the projection; and covering a joint between the body of the aerogenerator blade and the tip segment with an aerodynamic profile.

Abstract: A blade mould assembly with lockdown mechanism for opening, closing or clamping blade mould assemblies is provided. The blade mould assembly includes a top mould portion, a bottom mould portion, and a lockdown mechanism. The lockdown mechanism includes an upper frame coupled to the top mould portion including an upper bearing device, a clamping pin extending substantially horizontally in the upper bearing device, and a lower frame coupled to the bottom mould portion. The lower frame includes a lower bearing device adapted to engage the under bearing device, a protractile rod, a latching element coupled to the protractile rod including a pivoting component, an inward clamping side, and an outward sliding side wherein the outward clamping side includes a pivoting recess and the inward clamping side includes a clamping recess. A guiding pin extends substantially horizontally in the pivoting recess when the protractile rod is fully extended.

Abstract: Interchangeable packing apparatus (4) for aerogenerator blades (1) particularly versatile for different blade sizes and designs, and to meet the different legal requirements of various countries, but still having a low manufacturing cost and high capacity of supporting the heavy loads. The packing apparatus (4) comprises an external frame (9) and an internal frame (8) wherein the internal frame (8) comprises an structural mounting and at least damper member (10) for receiving one side of at least a portion of the aerogenerator blade (1) and wherein said internal frame (8) substantially supports the load of at least said portion of the aerogenerator blade (1) and wherein the internal frame (8) is selectively positionable relative to the external frame in at least two positions in order to receive different portions of the aerogenerator blade (1) relative to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: Aerogenerator blade and method of manufacturing thereof, the aerogenerator blade comprising an intrados shell, an extrados shell and a structural beam, the structural beam comprising a root spar, a transitional spar and a box spar, wherein the root spar has a substantially circular cross section configured to support the connection of the blade to the aerogenerator hub; the transitional spar tapers from the root spar towards the box spar; and the box spar tapers towards the blade tip; and wherein the aerogenerator blade is characterized by comprising: a first section of the structural beam including at least a root spar portion, a transitional spar portion and a box spar portion, the portions forming a first integral structural beam section; a second section including at least the counterparts of the root spar portion, the transitional spar portion and the box spar portion, said counterpart portions forming a second integral structural beam section; and wherein the first section of the structural beam is join
