Producing a preform made of a semi-finished fiber product, comprises clamping fiber semi-finished product into clamping means in region of molding body of molding device, and molding semi-finished fiber product into preform

Producing a preform made of a semi-finished fiber product (1), comprises (i) clamping a fiber semi-finished product into a clamping means in a region of a molding body of a molding device, and molding the semi-finished fiber product into a preform using the molding device. The semi-finished fiber is stretched by many clamping elements (13), which are provided in an inner region of a clamping frame of the clamping device. The inner region encompasses a frame element (9). A clamping force and a clamping direction is selected separately as required for individual clamping elements. Producing a preform made of a semi-finished fiber product, comprises (i) clamping a fiber semi-finished product into a clamping means in a region of a molding body of a molding device, and molding the semi-finished fiber product into a preform using the molding device. The semi-finished fiber is stretched by many clamping elements, which are provided in an inner region of a clamping frame of the clamping device. The inner region encompasses a frame element. A clamping force and a clamping direction is selected separately as required for individual clamping elements and/or groups of clamping elements. An independent claim is also included for a device for producing the preform made of the semi-finished fiber product by the above mentioned method, comprising the clamping device for clamping fiber semi-finished product and molding device with the molding body for molding the fiber semi-finished product, where (a) the clamping device comprises at least one clamping frame comprising the frame element and many clamping elements arranged in the inner region, which encompasses by the frame element, (b) the clamping elements are operatively connected for transferring clamping forces to the frame element, and (c) the individual clamping elements and/or groups of clamping elements are separately and variably adjusted with respect to the clamping force and the clamping direction. Es wird ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Vorformlings aus einem Faserhalbzeug (1), mit folgenden Schritten vorgeschlagen: Einspannen eines Faserhalbzeugs (1) in eine Spannvorrichtung (5) in einem Bereich eines Formgebungskörpers einer Umformvorrichtung, und Umformen des Faserhalbzeugs (1) mithilfe der Umformvorrichtung zu einem Vorformling, wobei das Faserhalbzeug (1) von einer Mehrzahl von Klemmelementen (13) gespannt wird, die in einem von einem Rahmenelement (9) umgriffenen Innenbereich (11) eines Spannrahmens (
