Method and system for tuning a tow placement system

The invention relates to a method and a system for tuning a tow placement system. A method and system for managing tow end placement. A tow is laid up over a tuning surface. A first position of a first tow end of the tow and a second position of a second tow end of the tow are measured. A first error between the first position of the first tow end and an expected position for the first tow end, and a second error between the second position of the second tow end and an expected position for the second tow end, are computed. A determination is made as to whether at least one of the first erroror the second error is outside of selected tolerances. A start timing offset of a tow placement system is adjusted if the first error is outside of selected tolerances and a stop timing offset of thetow placement system is adjusted if the second error is outside of selected tolerances. 本发明涉及调谐丝束铺放系统的方法和系统，公开了用于管理丝束末端铺放的方法和系统。丝束被铺设在调谐表面上方。测量丝束的第一丝束末端的第一位置和丝束的第二丝束末端的第二位置。计算第一丝束末端的第一位置和第一丝束末端的预期位置之间的第一误差，以及第二丝束末端的第二位置和第二丝束末端
