  • Device for separating and discharging trimmings cut in a pre-impregnated strip
    Patent number: 8256485
    Abstract: The invention comprises separating the strippings of a strip of paper and of a precut prepreg into strippings to be discarded and blanks to be kept using a suction roller that is tangent to the strip along an action line. In a downstream position, a device collects the blanks on said rectilinear path, and a device closer to the roller discharges the strippings. The paper runs through the device along said rectilinear path while maintaining the blanks thereon, and a strip temporary diversion device, capable of orthogonal movement relative to the strip, temporarily diverts the strip and brings it closer to the roller in order to facilitate the initial peeling of the strippings.

  • Composite lay-up head with a retractable device for separating a prepreg from its support tape
    Patent number: 8127819
    Abstract: A lay-up head receives a prepreg bonded to a support tape, and the prepreg is separated from its support tape by peeling, by means of a separator just upstream of a depositing member for depositing the prepreg tape on a deposition tool; the head includes, downstream of the separator, a retractable device for moving the prepreg away from the support tape, allowing the prepreg to be moved away just upstream of the separator, by means of which the prepreg can be separated earlier when the retractable device is activated.
