| 20120135099 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RAPID MOLDING OF WIND TURBINE BLADES - A compliant cover is placed over a part being molded in a molding process. The compliant cover is formed from a plurality of longitudinal cells positioned next to one another. At least one communication port is coupled to each longitudinal cell, and a source of fluid media at a preselected temperature is coupled to the communication ports whereby the longitudinal cells may be filled with the fluid media at the preselected temperature. The compliant cover may thus be used to selectively heat and cool the part being molded to decrease the time required by the part to rise to the temperature required to cure the resin in the part and to cool the part so that it can be removed from the mold. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20110271501 | MACHINING CENTER FOR A WIND TURBINE HUB - A machining center is designed for machining a hub having faces that are spaced one hundred and twenty degrees from one another around the hub. The machining center includes a table for supporting the hub when it is being machined and three vertical gantries arranged around the table that are spaced one hundred and twenty degrees from one another. The gantries have X and Z axis drives for moving the gantries parallel to the faces of the hub and toward and away from the hub. At least one machining member is mounted on each of the gantries for vertical movement on the gantry and stroke drives are provided for the machining members for driving the machining members toward the center axis of the hub, allowing the three faces of the hub to be machined simultaneously by the machining center. | 11-10-2011 |
