  • Publication number: 20230249414
    Abstract: A method and a device for producing a reinforcing profile from at least one layer (1, 2, 3) cut out of a preimpregnated fibrous web are described, said layer (1, 2, 3) being applied to a mould core (4) determining the profile shape, being retained on the mould core (4) in the application region (6), and being pressed progressively onto the mould core, starting from this application region (6), transversely to the profile longitudinal direction, as far as the profile longitudinal edges. In order to create advantageous production conditions, it is proposed that the layer (1, 2, 3) be pressed incrementally progressively so as to be shaped onto the mould core (4), in the longitudinal direction thereof, with the aid of moulding punches (8) that are arranged offset with respect to one another both in the circumferential direction and in the longitudinal direction of the mould core (4) and are able to be forced in the direction of the moulding faces of the mould core (4).

  • Patent number: 8555760
    Abstract: An apparatus is for detaching a workpiece from a cutting table. The workpiece is a cutting cut out from a flexible web made of fiber material. A raising device is displaceable relative to the cutting table receiving the web with the cutting and has a run-up surface for the workpiece ascending from the cutting table for progressively lifting the workpiece from the cutting table. A receiving device progressively receives the workpiece after the run-up surface. A lifting device is provided at a distance above the cutting table and includes a receiver which can be adjusted to the length of the boundary section of the cutting facing the raising device and which holds the received boundary section in a transfer position lifted off from the cutting table. The raising device is displaceable between the lifting device and the web resting on the cutting table.
