Mobile coupling device for coupling micro-wave rays in work-piece to harden matrix resin portion of work-piece to form fiber reinforced composite component, has conductive wall formed by shaping tool for work-piece

摘要

The device (5) has a microwave chamber (11) holding a work-piece (12) and limited by an electrical conductive walls (14, 16). A coupling equipment (9) is provided for coupling microwave rays (10) in the microwave chamber. One of the electrical conductive walls (16) is formed by a shaping tool (7) for the work-piece, and comprises a metallic insert. The insert comprises a sheet metal, perforated plate (15), a grid and/or network. The other conductive wall (14) is made of metal, where fluid flows via the latter wall. A magnetron is supported on a chassis (6) that supports the shaping tool.
