  • Core striping mechanism
    Patent number: 9126216
    Abstract: A system for creating a reference mark on a honeycomb core is disclosed. The core has cells that pass from a top face to a bottom face. The system includes a support surface configured to position the honeycomb core, a mounting plate configured to move along a defined path proximate to the top surface of the honeycomb core when positioned on the support surface, and a first nozzle coupled to the mounting plate. The first nozzle is configured to apply a marking material to a portion of the top face of the honeycomb core as the mounting plate passes along the defined path.

  • Core un-blocking roller brush
    Patent number: 8961707
    Abstract: An unblocking roller for removing excess material from the openings of cells of a honeycomb core is disclosed. The unblocking roller includes a cylindrical core having a center axis and a plurality of clusters each comprising a plurality of bristles. Each of the plurality of bristles of each cluster is coupled to the core at a first end and projecting outward from the core. Each bristle projects a minimum of a first distance from the core. Each cluster is separated from adjacent clusters by at least a second distance that is at least 20% of the first distance.
