  • Patent number: 5591071
    Abstract: A polishing device includes a rotatable first column vertically provided at the lateral side of a surface table. A second column engages the first column so as to be able to be moved up and down by a lifting drive (air cylinder). The second column is provided with an arm, to which a polishing head is fitted. The surface table, first column and polishing head are driven by directly connected or built-in motors M1, M2 and M3.

  • Patent number: 5584750
    Abstract: The present invention uses a surface plate 8 made of carbon fiber reinforced plastics which is installed on a turntable 4, and an emery cloth 6 is adhered on the surface of the surface plate 8. This surface plate 8 is detachably installed on the turntable 4 by means of key blocks 22 or screws 26. If the turntable 4 is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastics, the entire weight of a polishing machine can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 5480508
    Abstract: A prepreg tape is firstly prepared by bonding prepreg layer to a backing paper and then the prepreg tape is cut to a depth enough to cut the prepreg tape but not the backing paper. A unnecessary portion of the prepreg tape is removed from the backing paper to obtain a cut prepreg tape. A laminating attachment is moved in a predetermined direction while urging the prepreg tape against the surface of an operating table. The cut prepreg tape is peeled off from the backing paper and the peeled off prepreg tape is bonded to the operating table. The cut prepreg tapes are successively oriented in a predetermined direction and juxtaposed to form a laminated sheet. When the sheet is mounted on a mold of a predetermined shape. When the impregnated thermosetting resin is perfectly cured under heat and pressure a product useful for assembling various vehicles can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 5288357
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for laminating prepreg sheets, a plurality of heaters and a plurality of fans are installed beneath an operating table and a table temperature sensor and a room temperature sensor are provided in and above the operating table respectively. The heaters, fans, table temperature sensor and the room temperature sensor are controlled by a temperature control device. A face sheet is mounted on the operating table and the prepreg sheets are laminated while maintaining the temperature of the face sheet at a higher value than the temperature of the prepreg sheets, whereby the adhesive force of the face sheet becomes higher than that of a carrier sheet so that the prepreg sheet can be accurately bonded to the face sheet.
