Zusammenfassung:An automated in-line feed-through system 100 integrating the delivery, application and infusion of a resin to one or more fiber tows 134 and layup of the one or more infused fiber tows 134 to form a composite structure. The system includes an automated resin delivery, deposition and infusion system configured to deposit the resin on one or more fiber tows and form the infused fiber tows. The system integrates an automated layup system including a compaction roller, a guide roller coupled to an extending cylinder, and an auxiliary roller configured to adhere the one or more infused fiber tows 120 to a substrate. The system further includes a controller 150 configured to control system parameters, including the control of tension of the one or more infused fiber tows within the automated layup system 100. Other aspects of the automated in-line manufacturing system 100 are also provided.
