Zusammenfassung: | A coating applicator tool head configured for use with a robotic maintenance device includes a tool head body with a frame, a supply container, a drive for actuating delivery of flow of coating from the supply container, a mixing element connected to the supply container, and a spreading tool , e.g. in the form of a spatula mounted on the frame. The coating applicator tool head is moved by an articulated arm of the maintenance device along an outer surface of a wind turbine blade containing damage such that the spreading tool forms a coating over the damage. Independent actuators of the drive are controlled to move at independently adjustable speeds to supply different components at a desired mix ratio adapted to produce the coating when mixed at the mixing element. |
