  • Patent number: 11518494
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a composite material structure includes a corrugated stringer and a panel. The corrugated stringer has a corrugated structure including portions each having hat-shaped cross section. The corrugated stringer is made of a composite material. The panel is integrated with the corrugated stringer. The panel is made of a composite material. Further, according to one implementation, a manufacturing method of a composite material structure includes: setting a textile on a laminated body of prepregs; and producing the composite material structure by covering the laminated body with a bagging film, forming a vacuum state in a space covered with the bagging film, impregnating the textile with the resin, and thermal curing of the laminated body of the prepregs. The laminated body is a panel before curing. The textile has a structure corresponding to a corrugated stringer.

  • Patent number: 5010474
    Abstract: In order to horizontally position a chip part held by a holding unit by a closing operation caused by relative movement of at least two parts of opposing positioning pawls, a setting unit sets information concerning an interval between opposing positioning pawls of each of the two pairs and information of a size of the chip part, a memory unit stores the information set by the setting unit, a calculating unit calculates a distance for increasing a relative moving speed of the positioning pawls at the start of the closing operation and a distance for reducing the relative moving speed at the end of the closing operation on the basis of the information stored in the memory unit, and a control unit controls a driving source for driving the positioning pawls on the basis of the calculation result of the calculating unit, thereby variably controlling the moving speed at the high-speed moving distance of the positioning pawls in accordance with the size of the chip part to reduce a moving time of the positioning pa
