Abstract[English]
A method of trimming a production flange (52) from a wind turbine blade (10) during manufacture of the wind turbine blade (10). The method comprises mounting a self-propelled flange trimming apparatus (60) on the production flange (52) and using a drive system (64, 66) of the apparatus (60) to propel the apparatus (60) along the production flange (52). A directional control system controls the direction of the apparatus (60) and a cutting tool (81) cuts through the production flange (52) as the apparatus (60) travels along the production flange (52). Also, a self-propelled production flange trimming apparatus (60) comprising a carriage (61) with a drive member (64, 66), a directional control system, and a cutting tool (81) attached to the carriage (61). A system comprising a wind turbine blade moulding (50) and a trimming apparatus (60) mounted on the production flange (52) of the moulding (50).[French]
L'invention concerne un procédé d’ébarbage d'une bride de production (52) d'une pale d'éolienne (10) pendant la fabrication de la pale d'éolienne (10). Le procédé consiste à monter un appareil automoteur d'ébarbage (60) sur la bride de production (52) et utiliser un système d'entraînement (64, 66) de l'appareil (60) pour propulser l'appareil (60) le long de la bride de production (52). Un système de commande directionnelle contrôle la direction de l'appareil (60) et un outil de coupe (81) coupe la bride de production (52) au fur et à mesure que l'appareil (60) se déplace le long de la bride de production (52). L'invention concerne également un appareil (60) automoteur d'ébarbage des brides de production comprenant un chariot (61) avec un élément d'entraînement (64, 66), un système de commande directionnelle et un outil de coupe (81) fixé au chariot (61). L'invention concerne également un système comprenant un moulage de pale d'éolienne (50) et un appareil d'ébavurage (60) monté sur la bride de production (52) du moulage (50).
