Zusammenfassung:	A lamination head (142) for laying up a composite laminate (196) includes a material supply drum (160) supporting roll of layup material (168) backed by a backing layer (180), a first and second separation device respectively having a first and second horn (204, 220), and a first and second compaction device. When the first separation device is extended, the first horn (204) is in close proximity to the first compaction device, causing a layup material (168) to separate from the backing layer (180) and move underneath the first compaction device as the lamination head (142) moves along a first direction of travel (150). When the second separation device is extended, the second horn (220) is in close proximity to the second compaction device, causing the layup material (168) to separate from the backing layer (180) and move underneath the second compaction device as the lamination head (142) moves along a second direction of travel (152) opposite the first direction of travel (150).
