Abstract: A method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade shell part is described. Fibre mats and a root end insert are laid up in a mould part in a layup procedure by use of an automated layup system. The fibre mats are laid up by use of a buffer so that the fibre mats may continuously be laid up on the mould surface, also during a cutting procedure. The root end insert is prepared in advance and mounted on a mounting plate. The root end insert is lowered onto the mould by use of the mounting plate and a lowering mechanism. After the wind turbine blade shell has been moulded, the mounting plate is removed.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing fiber-reinforced parts, such as blades, for wind power plants, whereby a number of layers (10) of material comprising fiber, such as glass fiber mats, are arranged on a curved surface (5) of an elongated (5) open mold (1) wherein each layer (10) of material is arranged on said curved surface (5) as pre-shaped mats (10) having a form substantially corresponding to an intended area of application such that any need for further modification of or cutting in said material is substantially eliminated.

Abstract: The present subject matter concerns a method and an apparatus for cutting fiber mats where the cutting is effected with a mechanical automatic tool, where cutting of the fiber mat is effected so that the cut surface on the fiber mat can be varied from an angle greater than 0° to an angle less than 180° in relation to both surfaces on the fiber mat, where it is the variable position of the fiber mat relative to the direction of movement and cutting of the cutting tool that determines the angle of the cut. A fiber mat may be cut with a cut which is particularly adapted to the specific piece of fiber mat which is cut. It is thus possible to have a production where various requirements to cut faces in the fiber mats can be met.

Abstract: Manufacturing line for manufacturing wind turbine blades having a composite shell structure comprising a matrix material and a fiber reinforcement material by use of a resin transfer molding process is used to assemble wind turbine blades formed in a number of molds, including at least a first mold part having a first mold cavity. A gantry moves along the manufacturing line, in which the manufacture includes a) arranging fiber reinforcement material in the first mold cavity of a first mold using the gantry means, b) moving the gantry means along the manufacturing line to a second mold, c) supplying curable matrix material into the first mold cavity of the first mold, while substantially simultaneously arranging fiber reinforcement material in the first mold cavity of a second mold using the gantry means. The manufacturing line comprises a plurality of molds for forming wind turbine blades.

Abstract: A method for monitoring and controlling that a plurality of layers (2) of material comprising fibre for the manufacturing of a part are located correctly in a mould (1) for said part and/or correctly relative to each other in said mould, comprises determining the position in the mould of each marking (7) on each layer (2) of fibre material and/or the positions of the markings on different layers of fibre material relative to each other, comparing the determined position in the mould (1) of each marking (7) on each layer (2) of fibre material and/or the positions of the markings on said different layers of fibre material relative to each other with predetermined reference positions for said markings for the part to be manufactured, and performing correction of the position of that or those layers (2) of fibre material for which the determined positions for the markings (7) thereon and the predetermined reference positions for said markings do not correspond with each other.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for cutting fibre mats, preferably from a roll, where the cutting is effected with a mechanical automatic tool, where cutting of the fibre mat is effected so that the cut surface on the fibre mat can be varied from an angle greater than 0° to an angle less than 180° in relation to both surfaces on the fibre mat, where it is the variable position of the fibre mat relative to the direction of movement and cutting of the cutting tool that determines the angle of the cut. By a method or an apparatus according to the above, a fibre mat may be cut with a cut which is particularly adapted to the specific piece of fibre mat which is cut. It is thus possible to have a production where various requirements to cut faces in the fibre mats can be met.
