Resin application tip for a cut edge

A method and apparatus for applying resin to a cut edge of a composite structure, the cut edge having exposed carbon fibers. The method comprises scanning the cut edge of the composite structure with a vision system to form scanned data. The method further determines an application path for the cut...

Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for applying resin to a cut edge of a composite structure, the cut edge having exposed carbon fibers. The method comprises scanning the cut edge of the composite structure with a vision system to form scanned data. The method further determines an application path for the cut edge of the composite structure using the scanned data. The method also applies the resin to the cut edge of the composite structure by controlling movement of an application tip along the application path using a controller.
