SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AT LEAST ONE VARIABLE DURING LAYUP OF A COMPOSITE PART USING AUTOMATED FIBER PLACEMENT

An automated in-line feed-through system (100, 150) and method (200, 250, 300), integrates the ability to control one or more variables during part fabrication with the layup of one or more fiber tows to form a composite part. The system includes an automated layup system (105) configured to receive...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An automated in-line feed-through system (100, 150) and method (200, 250, 300), integrates the ability to control one or more variables during part fabrication with the layup of one or more fiber tows to form a composite part. The system includes an automated layup system (105) configured to receive a feed-through of one or more fiber tows (112) as an input material (113). The automated in-line feed-through system further includes a controller (116) configured to respond to measurement data obtained by one or more samplings of the input material and/or a plurality of laid up plies that form a laminate. The controller in response to the obtained measurement data provides adjustment of the feed-through of the one or more fiber tows to compensate for a variation in one or more of the weights from a reference weight.
