US 2006/0188378 A1 · Method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade, a wind turbine blade manufacturing facility, wind turbine blades and uses hereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade or a section of a wind turbine blade. The method includes, establishing a first part having a first wind turbine blade part in a first fixating unit, establishing a second part having a second wind turbine blade part in a second fixating unit, and positioning the first part in contact with, or in close proximity of, the second part. After this, a pressure below atmospheric pressure is established, forcing the first wind turbine blade part and the second wind turbine blade part against each other. The invention further relates to a wind turbine blade manufacturing facility, wind turbine blades as well as uses hereof.
