  • Device and method for producing a carrier part having a plurality of fiber bundles
    Patent number: 10858771
    Abstract: A device and a method for producing a carrier part having a plurality of fiber bundles. At least one fiber bundle strand is removed from a supply with a fiber bundle conveying unit and is conveyed into its own feed channel. A suction channel associated with each feed channel is fluidically connected thereto. An air flow is generated in the suction channel, and an end portion of the at least one fiber bundle strand is conveyed into the suction channel. By moving the at least one suction channel into a working position, the end portion of the at least one fiber bundle strand is free in a working region of the device. A needle unit having at least one needle can pick up the end portion in the working region and can pull or push it through a carrier part as the needle unit moves through the carrier part.
