Method for creating a vacuum setup for producing a fiber composite part, and plunger used in the method

摘要

A method for creating a vacuum setup for processing a semi-finished fiber composite into a cured fiber composite component is provided. The semi-finished fiber composite is positioned on a molding surface of a tool so that a non-planar surface of the semi-finished fiber composite faces away from the molding surface, covering the non-planar surface of the semi-finished fiber composite by applying an air-tight film and sealing the film with respect to the molding surface of the tool. Application of the film is performed using a plunger formed from a flexible material and having a plunger surface on which the film is retained.

1. A method for creating a vacuum setup and processing a semi-finished fiber composite into a cured fiber composite component having a non-planar surface, the method comprising the steps:
positioning the semi-finished fiber composite on a molding surface of a tool so that the non-planar surface of the semi-finished fiber composite faces away from the molding surface; releasable applying an air-tight film to a plunger surface; and covering the non-planar surface of the semi-finished fiber composite by applying the film via the plunger and sealing the film with respect to the molding surface of the tool; and releasing the film from the plunger so that the film is retained on the molding surface and retracting the plunger prior to the processing of the semi-finished fiber composite into the cured fiber composite component.
