Grinding tool for grinding the leading edge of a wind turbine blade

Applicants

Abstract

The present invention relates to a grinding tool for grinding the leading edge of a wind turbine blade. It comprises two parallel shafts and a frame for holding the two shafts in a fixed mutual relationship, at least one of the shafts being driven in rotation. An endless abrasive belt is arranged around a tensioner mounted to the frame and a guide on each of the two shafts. The abrasive belt runs in a plane perpendicular to the shaft and the length of the abrasive belt is longer than an imaginary curve formed by the outer surface of the tensioning device and the outer surface of the guide. The grinding tool further comprises two abrasive tape holders movably mounted to the frame. They are shaped and arranged such that they move between a holding position, in which they hold the abrasive belt along at least a portion of the belt in contact with the guide, and a release position, in which they are out of contact with the abrasive belt.
