  • Patent number: 9764519
    Abstract: A device for the production of structural components from a fiber composite material, the components being three-dimensionally arched over a large surface, including a jig having a convex mounting surface having receiving channels for the insertion of structural components, wherein the loaded jig interacts with a laminating bonding device having a corresponding shape for forming the structural component under pressure, wherein the mounting surface includes a plurality of individually elastically deformable mounting shell parts arranged adjacent to each other along at least one longitudinally extending pitch line and attached to a plurality of elastically deformable supporting frame elements extending on the interior of the shell at a right angle to the pitch line, and a plurality of actuators for deforming the mounting surface between an extended position (A) and at least one retracted position (B) to move the jig from the bonding device relative to the receiving channels without undercuts.

  • Patent number: 9751290
    Abstract: A device and to a method for the production of essentially two-dimensionally arched large-area structural components from a fiber composite material, including a jig having a convex mounting surface which has longitudinally extending receiving channels for the insertion of construction components and which can be loaded with auxiliary materials, wherein the loaded jig interacts with a laminating bonding device having a corresponding shape for forming the structural component under pressure, wherein the jig includes a mounting shell that at the edge can be elastically deformed inwards, which mounting shell, by way of a plurality of actuators that are articulated to the inside, can be moved between an extended position (A) and at least one retracted position (B) in which the jig can be moved relative to the longitudinally extending receiving channels from the laminating bonding device without undercuts.

  • Patent number: 9242742
    Abstract: A measurement method for determining the position of an omega profile component placed on a shell component of an aircraft, in which the ACTUAL position of the omega profile component relative to the shell component is optically acquired in a contactless manner, so as to subsequently compare the latter with a defined DESIRED position, wherein several adjacently spaced apart measuring points are established at two mutually opposing flank sides of the profile cross section of the omega profile component, through which a regression line is run according to the path measurement principle based on coordinates, whose point of intersection is drawn upon to determine the orthogonal position of the omega profile component relative to the shell component.
