Abstract
A blade gripping device for gripping a rotor blade, in particular a rotor blade of a wind turbine, comprising a blade gripping assembly with a number of blade gripping tools and a sensor arrangement realized to sense a specific feature of the rotor blade is provided. Thereby, the specific feature is such that it can be used to orientate the blade holding device relative to the rotor blade in a blade gripping manoeuvre. Further the invention concerns a method of moving a blade gripping device for gripping a rotor blade, in particular a rotor blade of a wind turbine, relative to the rotor blade.

A blade gripping device for gripping a rotor blade of a wind turbine, comprising:
- a blade gripping assembly with a number of blade gripping tools and a sensor arrangement realized to sense a specific feature of the rotor blade, whereby the specific feature is such that it is used to orientate a blade holding device relative to the rotor blade in a blade gripping manoeuvre.
A method of moving a blade gripping device for gripping a rotor blade of a wind turbine, relative to the rotor blade, whereby the device comprises a blade gripping assembly with a number of blade gripping tools and a sensor arrangement and whereby the sensor arrangement senses a specific feature of the rotor blade in order to support a movement of the device, whereby the specific feature is such that it is used to orientate the blade holding device relative to the rotor blade in a blade gripping manoeuvre.
