An apparatus for manufacturing composite stringers from a composite laminate comprising a male mould, a main caul plate, two fixed female mould halves, two secondary movable caul plates and a retention device. The main caul plate is located below the male mould, the female mould halves are located at both sides of the main caul plate and the secondary movable caul plates, each of them located respectively over each one of the two female mould halves. The male mould, the main caul plate, the two female mould halves and the two secondary caul plates are non-developable surfaces. The retention device keeps each secondary movable caul plate at a predetermined distance of its respective female mould half. |
