<p>An automated fibrer lay-up machine for the fabrication of reticulated structures comprising an upper carriage (12) which carries a fibrous material handling system (14), including a source of resin (78), and a lower carriage (44) which carries a fiber laying head (46). The upper and lower carriages each have a selected number of degrees of freedom of movement to allow positioning of the fibrous material handling system and the fiber laying head. Means (20, 32, 50, 60, 113) are provided to move and control the motion of the upper and lower carriages. The movement of the upper carriage is slaved to the movement of the lower carriage to allow the fibrous material handling system to dispense the fibrous material to the fiber laying head. The fiber laying head can rotate to provide an extra degree of freedom and can also be independently moved normal to a work surface. The resin is applied directly to the fiber laying head concomitant with the fibrous material, while the fiber layer head is adapted to lay the fibrous material flat on the work surface.</p> |
