  • Publication number: 20240416560
    Abstract: The invention relates to a curing mold (10) for manufacturing a turbomachine component made of composite material from a preform (200), comprising: —a first and a second body (11, 12) defining an air gap receiving the preform; —at least one primary channel (21) arranged in the first and/or the second body; —an injection member (22) of a pressurized fluid in the primary channels; —at least one secondary channel (23), in which a piston (24) slides, which delimits, on the one hand, a first chamber (26) in communication with the or a primary channel and, on the other hand, a second chamber (27) in communication with the air gap, and which is designed to compress thermosetting resin which has entered the second chamber from the preform in the air gap, so as to put the preform under hydrostatic pressure.

  • Publication number: 20240416594
    Abstract: A facility for pairing a metal shield to a leading edge of a preform made of composite material for the production of an aircraft turbine engine blade, the facility including a support configured to receive and hold the metal shield, —a movement hexapod which carries the support and is able to move the support along and about the three axes of an XYZ coordinate system, —an automaton which includes jaws and is configured to receive and hold the preform, and—a computing unit for controlling the hexapod and the automaton with a view to producing the pairing. The invention also relates to a method for pairing the metal shield to the leading edge of the preform made of composite material for the production of the aircraft turbine engine blade.

  • Patent number: 12030267
    Abstract: A curing mold for manufacturing a turbomachine part made of composite material from a preform produced by draping pre-impregnated materials includes: a first body and a second body designed to be attached to each other and jointly defining a fixed air gap for receiving the preform and itself including a molding part of complementary shape with the part to be manufactured and intended to receive a portion to be molded of the preform, and at least one additional part located in a peripheral space of the air gap and intended to receive an additional portion forming an edge of the preform; a heating member designed to heat the preform in the air gap to a first temperature; at least one inflatable bladder housed in the first or second body, facing an additional part of the air gap; a member for injecting a pressurized fluid inside the bladder(s).

  • Patent number: 11435279
    Abstract: A method for analysing a bonding between two aeronautical parts. The method includes the steps of a) applying a release agent to a first surface to be bonded of a first part and to a second surface to be bonded of a second part, b) applying an adhesive to at least one of the first and second surfaces and positioning these surfaces on top of each other, the adhesive forming an adhesive film after polymerisation, c) separating the parts from each other and removing the adhesive film in one piece, d) analysing the adhesive film. The invention also relates to a method for bonding two aeronautical parts.

  • Publication number: 20060143710
    Abstract: Provided are a techniques for monitoring communication packets. A communication packet is received. A communication packet signature of the communication packet is determined. The communication packet signature is compared to one or more site-specific application signatures. In response to determining that the communication packet signature matches at least of the one or more site-specific application signatures, it is determined that the communication packet is to be trusted.
