Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade in a production facility. The method comprises the steps of positioning a first overhung gantry to extend transversely over an elongated first mold part for manufacturing one of a first part and a second part of the blade, performing a first working action at the first mold part with a first tool mounted on the first overhung gantry, moving the first overhung gantry from the first mold part to an elongated second mold part for manufacturing the other of the first and the second part of the blade, positioning the first overhung gantry to extend transversely over the second mold part, and performing a second working action at the second mold part by means of the first tool or a second tool mounted on the first overhung gantry.
