METHOD AND MANUFACTURING LINE FOR MANUFACTURING WIND TURBINE BLADES

摘要

A method and a manufacturing line for manufacturing wind turbine blades having a composite shell structure comprising a matrix material and a fibre reinforcement material by use of a resin transfer moulding process. The method comprises a manufacturing line (30), where wind turbine blades are formed in a number of moulds (40, 50). Each of the number of moulds (40, 50) comprising at least a first mould part (41, 51) comprising a first mould cavity (42, 52). The manufacturing line (30) further comprises a gantry means (35) movable along the manufacturing line (30). The method comprises the following steps: a) arranging fibre reinforcement material in the first mould cavity (42) of a first mould (40) using the gantry means (35), b) moving the gantry means (35) along the manufacturing line (30) to a second mould (50), c) supplying curable matrix material into the first mould cavity (42) of the first mould (40), while substantially simultaneously arranging fibre reinforcement material in the first mould cavity (52) of a second mould (50) using the gantry means (35). The manufacturing line (30) comprises a plurality of moulds (40, 50, 60) for forming wind turbine blades. Each of the number of moulds (40, 50, 60) comprising at least a first mould part (41, 51, 61 ) comprising a first mould cavity (42, 52, 62).
