  • Machine and process to automatically reconfigure composite tape and fabric
    Patent number: 10611056
    Abstract: A system to re-configure an input material into an output material includes an input material feeder reconfigurable to accept and feed an input material, an output material spooler, the input material feeder re-configurable relative to the material cutter to cut the input material at a re-configurable cut angle to produce a first intermediate cut section of material, a positioning and alignment system to position and align a leading edge of the first intermediate cut section of material with a trailing edge of a second intermediate cut section of material, a welder having a configurable position to weld the first intermediate cut section of material to the second intermediate cut section of material, and a control system comprising logic to set at least intensity of the welder, a contact pressure of the welder, temperature of the weld-table surface, and a tension applied by the output material spooler.
