FRP CONTINUOUS MOLDING APPARATUS AND FRP CONTINUOUS MOLDING METHOD

摘要

An FRP continuous molding apparatus (10) continuously molds an FRP from a layered sheet that includes prepreg sheets layered over each other. The prepreg sheets each include thermoplastic resin and reinforcement fibers, and differ from each other in fiber orientation. The FRP continuous molding apparatus (10) includes: sheet feeding devices (3a, 3b, 3c) continuously feeding the layered sheets (1a, 1b, 1c) in a feeding direction; a layering device layering, over each other, the layered sheets fed from the sheet feeding devices, and thereby forming a sheet layered body (14); and a shaping mechanism (7) molding the sheet layered body into an FRP (2) while the sheet layered body is being transferred in the feeding direction. The FRP has a cross section that is a target shape. The sheet layered body includes the reinforcement fibers whose fiber orientation is the feeding direction.
