Methods and systems for automated ply layup for composites |
| 摘要 |
A method for applying at least one ply onto a tool or an uncured composite layup disposed on the tool includes automatically controlling slidably removing at least one nonstick separator relative to the at least one ply positioned on the at least one nonstick separator to inhibit at least a portion of the at least one ply from adhering to the tool or uncured composite layup while applying a moving compressive force to an outer surface of the at least one ply relative to a moving trailing edge of the at least one nonstick separator to adhere at least a portion of the at least one ply to the tool or to the uncured composite layup. |

1. A system for applying at least one ply onto a tool or onto an uncured composite layup disposed on the tool, the system comprising:
an assembly for positioning and removing at least one nonstick separator relative to the tool or the uncured composite layup; an assembly for applying a moving compressive force; and a controller for automatically controlling said assembly for slidably removing the at least one nonstick separator relative to the at least one ply positioned on the at least one nonstick separator to inhibit at least a portion of the at least one ply from adhering to the tool or to the uncured composite layup while controlling said assembly for applying the moving compressive force to an outer surface of the at least one ply relative to a moving trailing edge of the at least one nonstick separator to adhere at least a portion of the at least one ply to the tool or to the uncured composite layup. |
