Description

1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a grinding device for a machine based grinding of rotor blades for wind energy systems. By the use of the grinding device, grinding tasks can be automated during the manufacturing and during the maintenance of rotor blades.2. PRIOR ART

[0002] The use of wind force for the energy generation is seen as one of the most environmentally compatible forms of winning energy. Therefore, wind energy systems are used, that comprise a rotor that drives a generator and that is supported rotatably at a mast. The loads, that effect on the parts in particular the rotor blades of a wind energy system is however very high.

[0003] Atmospheric influences, like for instance wind, water, hail, UV-radiation, erosion- and bending-loads lead to highest requirements for the material of the rotor blades. The correct operation and the surface quality are relevant for the effectivity and economic efficiency of wind energy systems. Thus, rotor blades co...
