System and method for laying composite cylindrical structures

Systems and methods for laying composite cylindrical structures. The composite barrel is laid on a rotatable mandrel using a laminator that applies the composite material onto the mandrel. The laminators are disposed on opposite sides of the mandrel and apply composite material to a first region of the mandrel while the mandrel remains stationary in the first rotational position. When the laminator applies the composite material to a second region of the mandrel to complete laying, the mandrel is rotated to a second rotational position at which the mandrel remains stationary. During the laying process, the layers in the first and second zones are spliced together. 用于铺设复合筒形结构的系统和方法。使用将复合材料施加到心轴上的层压机将复合桶铺设在可旋转心轴上。层压机被布置在心轴的相反侧上，并且当心轴在第一旋转位置中保持静止时将复合材料施加到心轴的第一区。当层压机将复合材料施加到心轴的第二区以完成铺设时，心轴被旋转到第二旋转位置，在该第二旋转位置处心轴保持静止。在铺设过程期间，第一区和第二区中的层被拼接在一起。
