Abstract: The present invention relates to a fibre application head for the production of composite material parts, comprising a compaction roller (3), guiding means (4), a retractable flap (6) which can be displaced between an active position in which the said flap is able to come by its distal end (63) against the fibre in order to bring the said fibre in abutment against with the roller, and a retracted position in which said flap is spaced apart from the roller, and a heating system (5) able to emit thermal radiation (51) towards of the nip zone between the roller and the application surface. Said flap is displaceable by actuation means (7) between its active position and its retracted position so that the roller is subjected to the radiation of the heating system over a greater surface area in the retracted position than in the active position of the flap.

Abstract: A fiber application head comprising a compaction system including several independent compaction rollers and compaction cylinders and, for each fiber, cutting means and rerouting means. For each fiber, the head comprises a functional module including cutting means and rerouting means. Each functional module is mounted so as to be movable in translation along a compaction direction on a support element of the head. Each compaction roller is mounted on one or more adjacent functional modules. A compaction cylinder is associated with the functional module(s) associated with a compaction roller for the displacement in translation of the functional module(s). The compaction rollers are arranged in a single row.

Abstract: An application head specially designed for producing parts made of composite materials, comprising an application roller, guiding means defining a guiding plane and a cutting system for cutting a fiber comprising a first tool movable in translation along a cutting direction and a second tool. The cutting system comprises an integrated control means able to displace the first tool in translation along the cutting direction and to displace the first and second tool together, in rotation around a direction parallel to the application roller.

Abstract: An application head, comprising an application system, guiding means defining a guiding plane, a cutting system comprising a first cutting tool movable in translation and a second cutting tool, and a clamping system comprising a first clamping tool movable in translation and a second clamping tool. A first control means is able to displace the cutting tools together between initial and final cutting positions representing a variation in distance along the guiding plane and a second control means is able to displace the clamping tools together between initial and final clamping positions representing a variation in distance along the guiding plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates in particular to an application head specially designed for producing parts made of composite materials, comprising an application roller (1), guiding means (3) defining a guiding plane (P) and a cutting system (5) for cutting a fiber comprising a first tool (51) movable in translation along a cutting direction (Tc) and a second tool (53). The cutting system (5) comprises an integrated control means (6) able to displace the first tool (51) in translation along the cutting direction (Tc) and to displace the first and second tool (51, 53) together, in rotation around a direction parallel to the application roller (1).
