The invention describes a fully-functional automated bolt tensioning device (20) capable of repeatedly tightening bolts within various locations of an operational wind turbine (e.g. hub, tower, etc.) to a specified tension range. The device includes obstacle detection, alignment, an operational graphical user interface, and nut rotation data acquisition for reduced turbine preventative maintenance cost.
