FRP FORMING SYSTEM AND METHOD

An FRP material 2 has a circular arc part 5B having a circular arc shape, and a member 6 fixed to the circular arc part. The FRP molding system 100 comprises a portion-pressing device 20, a member positioning mechanism 26, and a transport device 30, and manufacture a circular arc-shaped FRP component 3 by integrally molding an FRP material 2. The FRP material 2 is composed of a prepreg 1 having a single layer or a plurality of prepregs 1 that are layered. The portion-pressing device 20 has an upper mold 16 and a lower mold 18 sandwiching a portion of the FRP material 2 in a radial direction orthogonal to the circular arc part 5B, and intermittently compresses the portion to partially mold the FRP component 3. The member positioning mechanism 26 positions the member 6 with respect to the upper mold 16 or the lower mold 18. The transport device 30 intermittently moves a portion (press portion 15) of the FRP material 2 compressed by the portion-pressing device 20. The portion-pressing and the transport are repeated to compress the entire integrated jig plate 14 so as to mold the entire FRP component 3.
