Abstract:
A system and method for the manufacture of a wind turbine blade component is described, preferably a shear web component for a wind turbine. The shear web is manufactured by using a forming tool to define a flange-shaped cavity at an end of a web member. A resin is injected into the cavity and cured to form a flange cast onto the web member. The forming tool is subsequently removed from the web member to provide a component having a load-bearing flange formed from a cured resin.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade component in form of a shear web is described. The method comprising the steps of: a) providing a pre-manufactured shear web body having a first side and a second side as well as a first end and a second end; b) providing a first pre-formed web foot flange comprising a fibre-reinforcement material; c) arranging a first fibre layer from the first pre-formed web foot flange and to a part of the first side of the shear web body; d) arranging a second fibre layer from the first pre-formed web foot flange and to a part of the second side of the shear web body; e) supplying a resin to said first fibre layer and second fibre layer simultaneous with or subsequent to steps c) and d); and f) allowing the resin to cure so as to form the shear web.
