A dispenser tool () is provided with multiple cartridges for dispensing viscous material onto the surface (') of a wind turbine blade (). The dispenser tool () is advantageously part of a robot system used to work the surface (&#x2032;) of the blade (). The system is configured for bringing the nozzle of a selected cartridge into the vicinity of the surface (&#x2032;) and orienting the dispenser tool () relatively to the surface (&#x2032;) such that the nozzle () of the corresponding selected cartridge () is at the surface (&#x2032;) for providing viscous material onto the surface (&#x2032;) from the selected cartridge () while moving the nozzle () along the surface (&#x2032;).

Dispenser tool, robot system with dispenser tool and method for dispensing viscous material onto wind turbine blade surface

A spreader tool is provided for spreading viscous material on the surface ('), for example an edge (&#x2033;), of a wind turbine blade (). The spreader tool () comprises at least one bendable spreader wing (A,B), for example provided as a fin-ray construction, for pressing a flexible band () against a curved section of the blade () and for dragging viscous material along it by the flexible band during movement of the spreader tool () along the blade () surface (&#x2032;). The spreader tool is advantageously part of a robot system used to work the surface (&#x2032;) of the blade ().
