A post-moulding station is described which is used in the manufacturing of a wind turbine blade. A blade shell forming part of a wind turbine blade is initially moulded in a blade mould, the blade shell subsequently transferred to a post-moulding station which allows for various post-moulding operations to be carried out on the blade shell away from the mould, thereby increasing the productivity of the blade mould in the manufacturing process. The post-moulding station may be operable to perform the closing of first and second blade shells to form a wind turbine blade, and may be formed from an adjustable structure which can provide relatively easy access to the contained blade shell for working thereon. Accordingly, the manufacturing equipment may be of reduced cost, combined with an increase in the overall productivity of the manufacturing system.

Post-modulation station and an associated method of manufacture of a wind turbine blade

A manufacturing method for a wind turbine blade is described which utilizes a post-moulding station in the manufacturing process.

System and method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade

A transport system for transport of blade shell half parts of a wind turbine blade, the blade shell half parts each having a tip end and a root end, wherein the transport system comprises a frame assembly comprising a first transport frame; and a first set of one or more separator elements, the first set of separator elements including a first primary separator element configured to separate a first blade shell half part and a second blade shell half part neighbouring the first blade shell half part such that the second blade shell half part is at least partly stacked above the first blade shell half part. Further, a blade shell half part system comprising the transport system and a plurality of blade shell half parts and related method is disclosed.

System for transport and/or storage of wind turbine blade shell half parts and related method

A blade support cradle is described, which can be used to support a section of a wind turbine blade using an array of vacuum clamps. The cradle provides a secure and reliable system for the support of a blade section during and after blade manufacture, allowing for various operations to be easily carried out on the surface of the blade section. A method for receiving a blade section in the cradle is further described. In addition, the cradle may be used as part of a blade post-moulding station in a method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade.
