FILAMENT WINDING DEVICE AND FILAMENT WINDING PROCESS

摘要

A filament winding device comprises a mandrel (2) having an axis of symmetry (S), a forming station to wind up one or more filaments (101) around the axially- symmetric mandrel (2), and a consolidation station to consolidate the filaments (101) wound up around the mandrel (2). In the consolidation station the mandrel (2) lies in a substantially vertical position to prevent bending of the mandrel itself.
