  • Patent number: 11027504
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a system for the production of fiber composite components, having at least a first fiber placement machine for the application of fiber layers to a workpiece, and a further processing station, distinct from the fiber placement machine, for the modification of the workpiece, wherein the workpiece can be brought both to the fiber placement machine and to the further processing station by means of an automated conveyor means. Various additional embodiments are also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 10603849
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a fiber-laying machine for producing laid fiber scrims, including a tool table for feeding a workpiece along a feed direction; a laying head for applying fibers onto the workpiece; and a fiber-providing unit for feeding several fiber strands to the laying head; the several fiber strands are combined on the laying head to form a fiber web which is to be applied onto the workpiece; the laying head is movable in a laying direction relative to the fiber-providing unit; a clamping device is arranged on the laying head for releasably clamping the fiber strands, a portion of the fiber web is laid on the workpiece once the fiber strands have been pulled forward by a laying stroke by means of the laying head such that while the fibers are being applied on the workpiece, no fibers are pulled out of the fiber-providing unit.

  • Patent number: 10189213
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for producing fiber composite material components, a first web of the fiber composite material is applied to a mold by means of an application tool arranged on a positioning device. A height profile of the applied first web is measured by means of a height profile measuring sensor. During the application of a second web of the fiber composite material to the mold, a control device activates at least one drive motor of the positioning device depending on the measured height profile, so that application errors, such as overlapping of the webs, are avoided. The webs are applied in opposite application directions by rotating the application tool 180° relative to the positioning device upon a change in the application direction. Two height profile measuring sensors arranged next to one another on the application tool for measuring the height profile of the applied webs.

  • Patent number: 9375907
    Abstract: To produce a fiber composite material component, a production system has a mold providing unit with at least one component mold. Fiber composite material can be applied to the at least one component mold by means of at least two production units. The at least two production units can be moved for this purpose on a guide path. The guide path runs round the mold providing unit so that the at least two production units can travel round the mold providing unit along the guide path. The productivity and flexibility of production can thereby be increased.

  • Publication number: 20130228285
    Abstract: In a method and a manufacturing unit for producing fiber composite material components, a first web of the fiber composite material is firstly applied to a component mould by means of an application tool arranged on a positioning device. A height profile of the applied first web is measured by means of a height profile measuring sensor. During the subsequent application of a second web of the fiber composite material to the component mould, a control device activates at least one drive motor of the positioning device depending on the measured height profile, so application errors, such as, for example, an overlapping of the webs, are avoided. The webs are applied in opposite application directions, wherein the application tool is rotated through 180° relative to the positioning device upon a change in the application direction. For measuring the height profile of the applied webs the manufacturing unit comprises two height profile measuring sensors arranged next to one another on the application tool.
