A forming process for composite parts comprising pultruding a resin and fiber material through a shortened pultrusion die, exposing the pultruded resin and fiber material to an induction heating coil aligned to be in-line with the pultrusion die to cure the resin and fiber material, wherein one or more of the resin and/or fiber material include a metallic component to facilitate cure via the induction heating coil.

Induction heating of composite parts

A support structure comprising a pultruded outer beam (), a pultruded inner beam (), a plurality of wear tabs () affixed to the inner beam, and a gear track () affixed to the inner beam. The outer beam is substantially hollow and adapted to receive the inner beam and the inner beam is shaped so that a portion of the inner beam extends nearly the entire height of the outer beam and a portion of the inner beam extends nearly the entire width of the outer beam, the plurality of wear tabs are located at one or more corners of the inner beam, and the gear track contacts a gear for facilitating movement of the inner beam.
