SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AT LEAST ONE VARIABLE DURING LAYUP OF COMPOSITE PART USING AUTOMATED FIBER LAMINATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automated fiber lamination system, and more specifically, a system and method for controlling one or more variables (e.g., weight) during fabrication of a composite component having an automated fiber lamination layer.;SOLUTION: There is provided an automated in-line manufacturing system 100 for controlling at least one variable during layup of a composite part 140 using automated fiber lamination. The automated in-line manufacturing system 100 comprises: an automated layup system 105 configured for layup of one or more fiber tows 112 so as to form a laminate 110; and a controller 116 configured to adjust a layup program 117 of the one or more fiber tows 112 to compensate for a variation from a reference weight of the fiber tows 112 and a reference weight of the laminate 110.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1;COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT
