THREE-DIMENSIONAL WEAVE-MOLDING EQUIPMENT FOR COMPOSITE MATERIAL

摘要

A three-dimensional weave forming equipment for composites mainly comprises a main body portion and a specific numerical control software for three-dimensional weaving process. The main body portion comprises a movement system for a controllable digital template, a movement system for a pickup device and a movement control system for a guiding sleeve. Compared with the existing three-dimensional weave-forming equipment, the three-dimensional weave-forming equipment for composites is highly automatic. Products made by the equipment are smooth at inner and outer surfaces, and have advantages of high precise dimension, low porosity and stable performance. And it can be reinforced partially and have directional property according to requirements of design. So problems of simple cross-section of the finished part and too much pores in the products, which manufactured by the existing three-dimensional weave forming equipment are solved. The three-dimensional weave forming equipment for composites is especially suitable for producing products with large dimension and complex external structure.
