  • Patent number: 8398795
    Abstract: In a process of producing a composite fiber component, fiber-containing layers pre-impregnated with resin and dry fiber-containing layers are alternately deposited on one another. The pre-impregnated fiber-containing layers have an excess of resin. The fiber composite component is integrated by causing the excess resin of the pre-impregnated layers to infiltrate the adjacent dry fiber-containing layers.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080169579
    Abstract: In a process for depositing large dry textile fiber webs on a component shape, a rolled up textile fiber web is deposited fully automatically, by means of robots. A robot-carrier cloth gripper grips the end of the textile fiber web to be deposited, and places it on the component shape. The web is then unwound from the roll by a robot-carried cloth unwinding stand, and is deposited on the component shape. During the depositing, the textile fiber web is draped by means of robot-carried heated sliding metal sheets or robot-carried movably disposed heated rollers. The depositing operation is continuously monitored and automatically readjusted to maintain a constant depositing rate. Alignment of the textile fiber web relative to the component shape is also monitored continuously by optical devices, and is readjusted as required.
