Tool for manufacturing a wind turbine rotor blade and method for manufacturing wind turbine rotor blades

Abstract

A method is for manufacturing a wind turbine rotor blade. The method includes: providing two prefabricated parts in a mold, the prefabricated parts being arranged next to each other and forming a gap between each other, providing fiber material, pushing the fiber material into the gap. A tool is for manufacturing a wind turbine rotor blade. The tool includes a tool body and a pushing plate for pushing fiber material into a gap between two prefabricated parts. The pushing plate is moveably supported at the tool body and is moveable between a protracted position and a retracted position. A spring element is supported at the tool body, the spring element exerting a preload force on the pushing plate. The pushing plate is configured to be held in the protracted position by the preload force and to be moved into the retracted position against the preload force.
