Abstract[English]
A robotic applicator device (40) for applying a protector (48) to a leading edge (30) of a wind turbine blade (20) includes a main frame (42), a drive (44) coupled to the main frame (42), and a plurality of stations (46) carried by the main frame (42) configured to apply the protector (48) to the leading edge (30) of the wind turbine blade (20). The stations (46) include a dispensing station (50) configured to hold and dispense a material (64) that forms the protector (48), an adhesive station (52) configured to apply adhesive (66) to an adherend surface (68) of the dispensed protector material (64) and/or the leading edge (30), an applicator station (54) configured to place the adherend surface (68) of the protector (48) onto the leading edge (30) of the wind turbine blade (20), and a curing station (56) configured to cure the adhesive (66) so as to bond the protector (48) to the leading edge (30). A method for applying the protector (48) to the leading edge (30) of the wind turbine blade (20) is also disclosed.[French]
L'invention concerne un dispositif applicateur robotique (40) permettant d'appliquer un protecteur (48) sur un bord d'attaque (30) d'une pale d'éolienne (20). Ledit dispositif comprend un cadre principal (42), un entraînement (44) couplé au cadre principal (42), et une pluralité de stations (46) portées par le cadre principal (42) conçues pour appliquer le protecteur (48) au bord d'attaque (30) de la pale d'éolienne (20). Les stations (46) comprennent une station de distribution (50) conçue pour maintenir et distribuer un matériau (64) qui forme le protecteur (48), une station adhésive (52) conçue pour appliquer un adhésif (66) à une surface d'adhérence (68) du matériau de protection distribué (64) et/ou du bord d'attaque (30), une station d'application (54) conçue pour placer la surface d'adhérence (68) du protecteur (48) sur le bord d'attaque (30) de la pale d'éolienne (20), et une station de durcissement (56) conçue pour durcir l'adhésif (66) de façon à lier le protecteur (48) au bord d'attaque (30). L'invention concerne également un procédé d'application du protecteur (48) sur le bord d'attaque (30) de la pale d'éolienne (20).
