Cover Story: Least-weight design in composite structures is advantaged by unconventional structural concepts, such as the double curved stiffener. In order to automate the fabric layup therefor, a continuous wet draping process is designed. Here, a shape-replicating draping unit provides the basis for this novel layup technology. To achieve an appropriate draping of the UD non-crimp fabric, a geometrical process model is introduced. Length deviations, arising when draping the textile into double curved shape, as well as textile shearing of the pre-laid fabric, can be compensated while consolidating at a predetermined altering draping front. To it, the shape of the draping unit is controlled by the elongation of serial soft actuators manipulated by parallel robot kinematics. View this paper.
