Title: Alexander Gillessen: Innovator in Composite Material Production

Introduction

Alexander Gillessen is a prominent inventor based in Hamburg, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of composite materials, holding a total of 20 patents. His innovative work focuses on devices and methods for producing T-shaped semifinished products from multiply non-crimp fabrics.

Latest Patents

Gillessen's latest patents include advanced devices and methods for producing T-shaped semifinished products from multiply non-crimp fabrics with reinforcing fibers for composite materials. These products consist of a web and a flange. The device features a web forming tool that clamps a web portion of the non-crimp fabric in place. Additionally, a forming tool splits the plies of a flange portion of the non-crimp fabric into two parts. A depositing device is used to place a tube body on the flange portion, while a holding tool creates a clearance between itself and the flange. Finally, a filling device fills the tube body with gas, ensuring that it fills the clearance and securely holds the flange portion. Alternatively, a magnetic force can be generated between a sheet and the web forming tool.
