Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assembling and automatically lifting a wind turbine tower, characterised in that different ferrules (3) composed of wedges (4) are formed in situ using robotised elements (10) that travel along circular guides (9). Welding, inspection and painting elements are simultaneously applied to the inside and outside of the ferrule (3), and work is done at two heights by replicating the circular guides (9) and raising same by means of vertical columns (16). As the ferrules (3) are formed, they are raised by a triangle (6) that travels between columns (5) of the automatic lifting system. Subsequently, by horizontally welding ferrules (3) together, a tower section (2) is formed. The method is applied to tubular towers and frustoconical towers that are 6-8 m in diameter and at least 200 m high.
