Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system is provided for producing components of composite material, and especially elongate or continuous components of fiber-reinforced polymer. The system comprises a winding mechanism for winding an elongate sheet of composite material about a winding axis that is at an angle to a perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the elongate sheet so as to form a helical coil of wound sheet a mechanism is provided for drawing or conveying the helical coil of wound sheet along a process path, wherein the process path is preferably substantially parallel to the winding axis. A shaping mechanism forms or shapes the coil of wound sheet as it is drawn or conveyed along the process path. A corresponding method of producing a composite component is provided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of producing a component of composite material, comprising: winding an elongate sheet of composite material about a winding axis which is offset by an angle from being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the elongate sheet so as to wind the sheet into a helical coil; drawing or conveying the helical coil of wound sheet along a process path that is parallel to the winding axis; and forming the coil of wound sheet as it is drawn or conveyed al…
