Staggered bevels for continuous compression molding tooling dies

Continuous compression molded process and apparatus for fabricating thermoplastic composite parts from pre-formed thermoplastic composite laminates (5) with tooling dies (2,6) have a staggered bevel feature (44) at an entry side of the tooling dies (2,6). Staggering the length of the bevel feature (...

Zusammenfassung:	Continuous compression molded process and apparatus for fabricating thermoplastic composite parts from pre-formed thermoplastic composite laminates (5) with tooling dies (2,6) have a staggered bevel feature (44) at an entry side of the tooling dies (2,6). Staggering the length of the bevel feature (44) in each section between bends in a surface contour along the width of the incoming edge of the tooling dies (2,6) prevents excess material from being trapped and forming wrinkles in the finished thermoplastic part. The length of the taper (14,48) in each section along the width of the tooling dies (2,6) is aligned with a pulsed advancement distance of the pre-formed part (5).
