  • Method and device for series production of components made of a fiber-reinforced composite material
    Patent number: 10913217
    Abstract: In a manufacturing method for a component, a clamping force is applied perpendicular to a surface of a first portion of a semifinished product containing reinforcing fibers via opposing first clamping surfaces of a first clamping tool. A clamping force is applied perpendicular to a surface of a second portion of the semifinished product via mutually opposing first clamping surfaces of a second clamping tool, spaced a first distance from the first clamping tool. A shaping device deforms a third portion of the semifinished product lying between the first and the second portions to form a first subportion and an opposite second subportion. The first distance is reduced to a second distance. A clamping force is applied perpendicular to the surfaces of the first and second subportions via a second clamping surface of the first clamping tool and an opposite second clamping surface of the second clamping tool.
