A method and apparatus for the refurbishment and repowering of wind turbines through the extension of existing installed blades so that they can catch more wind energy and therefore enable an increase in the overall average power output of the wind turbine.

The present invention relates to embodiments of a machine tool, in particular a multi-spindle milling machine, comprise a machine frame, a workpiece clamping device for clamping a workpiece, an axis slide assembly arranged on the machine frame, and a spindle carrier assembly which is arranged on the machine frame and has at least two tool-carrying work spindles. The axis slide assembly is configured to linearly move the workpiece clamped at the workpiece clamping device by way of three controllable linear axes X, Y and Z. The work spindles are arranged at a turret which can be rotated or swiveled about a turret axis at respectively equal distance from the turret axis, and the spindle axes of the work spindles are aligned or can be aligned in parallel to one another and in parallel to the turret axis.

A system for processing a workpiece includes a milling platform, a workpiece handling robotic arm (WHRA), and a spindle robot arm (SRA). The WHRA has a holding tool adapted to move the workpiece from an input staging area to the milling platform, and from the milling platform to an output staging area. A base of the WHRA, the input staging area, the output staging area are all positioned on a same side of the milling platform. The SRA has a milling tool and is adapted to mill the workpiece when supported on the milling platform. The system may include a processor configured to control the WHRA to move the holding tool to a release position or orientation based on positional data of the workpiece generated by contact position sensors, and to move a robotic arm to position vacuum pods on the milling platform, based on the geometry of the workpiece.
