Abstract

An automatic production system for reinforced-fibre products with no-axial symmetric geometry was very difficult to obtain by filament winding technology, until the recent development of new calculation codes. Especially difficult was to plan a deposition trajectory that respected complete mandrel covering and uniform fibre distribution conditions in the final composite. This work shows the dynamical analysis and the energetic balance of a completely automated production system for no-axial symmetric product by filament winding technology. This system was applied to 90° curved pipefitting.
