DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING FIBER-REINFORCED PLASTICS COMPONENTS

摘要

A device and corresponding method for producing three-dimensional components from impregnated fiber tapes. The device includes a plurality of grippers, arranged alongside one another, for gripping fiber tapes impregnated with matrix material, the grippers can be displaced in a linear manner on mutually parallel paths between a pick-up position and a maximum position such that the fiber tapes can be tensioned between the grippers and respectively associated transfer devices; a rotatable table on which the fiber tapes can be laid in a first and at least one additional layer; a severing device which can sever the fiber tapes close to the transfer device; a heating device for heating the layers to 160° C. to 400° C.; a first molding tool and one or more additional molding tools which can be moved together to three-dimensionally form the layers; and a transporting device which can transport the heated layers between the molding tools.

1. A device for producing fiber-reinforced three-dimensional components from thermoplastic, fiber-reinforced material, starting with impregnated fiber tapes, comprising:
a plurality of transfer devices; a plurality of grippers arranged alongside one another for gripping fiber tapes impregnated with matrix material, said plurality of grippers being configured to move linearly on mutually parallel paths between a pick-up position and a maximum position such that fiber tapes can be tentered between at least one of said plurality of grippers and a respectively associated transfer device; a rotatable table onto which the fiber tapes can be placed in a first layer and in at least one additional layer; a severing device configured to separate the fiber tapes near at least one of said plurality of transfer devices; a heating device configured to heat said layers to a temperature between 160° to 400° C.; a first molding tool; at least one additional molding tool configured to be moved together with said first molding tool to form said layers into a three-dimensional shape; and a transport device configured to transport heated layers between said first molding tool and said at least one additional molding tool.
