ABSTRACT The global production of wind energy has increased significantly, representing a basic component in the energy industry, and the blade materials need an intelligent recycling with sustainable transformation. The blades manufactured using fiberglass are found in many applications, considering their superior properties. For this purpose, the transformation of blades after the end of their working life into furniture represents a sustainable solution in the current context of renewable recycling and reducing pollution. The research presents two directions in this phase: first is the study of the drilling blade workpiece behaviour using a robot, and the second axis is focused on assembly solutions. An experimental protocol was built to determine the cutting parameters during drilling as well as the mechanical characteristics resulting from the assembly elements. The results allowed the analysis of the specific pressure coefficient during drilling as well as the insert/part interaction for the assembly process.
