Design and Research of Multiple Fiber Tows Placement Control System

Abstract:

In view that present traditional composites forming technologies are difficult to guarantee the processing quality of complex components such as components with small curvature radius or with concave-convex surface. this paper used the fiber placement technology, and in order to achieve the single independent and overall joint movement control of each fiber tows ,it adopted the mainstream open control mode of a PC machine combined with a programmable multi-axis motion controller . At the same time, it introduced a feedback system to realize the accurate pressure control of multiple fiber tows, so as to ensure the quality of fiber placement.
