  • Tooling apparatus and method for applying material to a pre-formed insert
    Patent number: 12686582
    Abstract: A tooling apparatus for applying a tape material to a pre-formed insert is provided. The tooling apparatus comprises at least one guiding element coupled to an apparatus frame. An attachment shaft defines a rotational axis and extends through the guiding element. The attachment shaft includes an attachment element for securing the pre-formed insert thereto. An activation element is operatively engaged with the attachment shaft to rotate the pre-formed insert about the rotational axis at a predetermined rotation rate. A tape control assembly is spaced from the attachment shaft for axial translation along a tape control axis at a predetermined translation rate. Rotation of the pre-formed insert about the rotational axis and translation of the tape control element at the predetermined translation rate causes the material to be drawn under tension from the tape control assembly and applied to the pre-formed insert in a plurality of layers.
