FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND SYSTEM

FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND SYSTEM

A forming apparatus comprises a frame (110). The frame (110) defines a vertical axis (112), a horizontal axis (114), and a longitudinal axis (116). A carriage (120) is movably connected to the frame (110). A first stomp foot (130) is movably connected to the carriage (120) such that it may move alon...

Zusammenfassung:A forming apparatus comprises a frame (110). The frame (110) defines a vertical axis (112), a horizontal axis (114), and a longitudinal axis (116). A carriage (120) is movably connected to the frame (110). A first stomp foot (130) is movably connected to the carriage (120) such that it may move along the vertical axis (112). A second stomp foot (135) is movably connected to the carriage (120) such that it may move along the vertical axis (112). A first swing arm (140) is movably connected to the carriage (120) and a second swing arm (150), movably connected to the carriage (120), is laterally opposed from the first swing arm (140) relative to the longitudinal axis (116). A method includes applying at least one ply (320) of composite material (325) over a forming surface (308) of a forming tool (310) and deforming the at least one ply (320) of composite material (325) over the forming surface (308) of the forming tool (310) with the forming apparatus.
