Gantry system for manufacturing a wind turbine blade and method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade

Abstract

A gantry system for manufacturing a wind turbine blade is provided, the gantry system including a frame for bridging the wind turbine blade in a cross-section direction of the blade during manufacture, wheels rotatably attached to the frame for locomotion of the gantry system, and one or more robotic units attached to the frame for performing manufacturing steps for manufacturing the blade. Having the gantry system bridging the wind turbine blade in a cross-section direction of the blade during manufacture provides a stable vehicle with a large footprint for manufacturing a wind turbine blade.
