Abstract:
An alignment device for aligning multiple beams for a spar cap of a wind turbine blade of a wind turbine with respect to each other is provided. The alignment device includes a support plate, which is configured so that the multiple beams can be placed on a top side of the support plate, two limit stops, which are configured to partially enclose the multiple beams, at least one bending apparatus attached to the support plate and configured to bend the support plate, a vibration apparatus attached to the support plate and/or the at least one bending apparatus, whereby the vibration apparatus is configured to vibrate the support plate and/or the bending apparatus, so that the multiple beams become aligned with respect to each other is provided. A method for aligning multiple beams for a spar cap of a wind turbine blade of a wind turbine is also provided.
