A method for producing a Fiber Metal Laminate component of an airplane, using a manipulator system with an end effector and a control, wherein at least one metal layer and at least one unhardened fiber layer are being stacked onto each other in a mould in a stacking sequence, wherein each stacking cycle comprises picking up a metal layer or a fiber layer from a supply stack according to the stacking sequence, transporting the layer to the mould, placement of the layer at a deposition surface in the mould and depositing the so placed layer onto the deposition surface. After being picked up from the supply stack and before being deposited onto the deposition surface the layer to be stacked can be deformed by the end effector as to adapt the form of the layer to the form of the deposition surface.

Method for producing a fiber metal laminate component of an airplane

Various embodiments relate to a device for the production of preforms for aircraft structural components, having a supply unit for the continuous supply of a layer structure with at least one fiber layer, having a heating unit with at least one infrared heater which has an infrared radiation source, wherein the supplied layer structure is passed through the heating unit in a conveying direction and can be heated there over at least part of its width in cross section by the at least one infrared heater, a disk which is permeable to infrared radiation being arranged between the layer structure and the infrared heater.

Device and method for producing preforms

The disclosure relates to a gripping device for an end effector of a manipulator for holding a workpiece via its workpiece surface, having a Bernoulli gripping unit, with an outflow unit for discharging a flow from the Bernoulli gripping unit between gripping device and workpiece surface in such a manner that in a region&#x2014;Bernoulli-negative pressure region&#x2014;a static negative pressure for holding the workpiece is generatable by the flow, and having a vacuum gripping unit with a suction chamber, wherein in a region delimited by the suction chamber&#x2014;vacuum negative pressure region&#x2014;a static negative pressure for holding the workpiece is generatable, wherein the Bernoulli negative pressure region and the vacuum negative pressure region intersect at least in part or wherein the Bernoulli negative pressure region and the vacuum negative pressure region surround one another.

Gripping device having a Bernoulli gripping unit and a vacuum gripping unit

The disclosure relates to an end effector arrangement having an end effector for a manipulator and having a control for the end effector, wherein the end effector has a tool arrangement having a plurality of gripper devices for holding a planar workpiece, wherein at least one gripper device has a Bernoulli gripper unit, which has a discharge unit for channeling a flow Sfrom the Bernoulli gripper unit between gripper device and workpiece in a manner such that, in a delimited region between gripper device and the workpiece, the flow Sgenerates a low pressure for holding the workpiece, and wherein at least one gripper device has a different gripper unit, which carries the workpiece according to a physical principle which differs from that of the Bernoulli gripper unit.

End effector assembly for holding a workpiece

The disclosure relates to an apparatus for the production of parisons from fiber-reinforced plastic, having a feed arrangement for the continuous feed of a laid fiber fabric and having a transverse deformation arrangement with a draping apparatus for the deformation of the fed laid fiber fabric to form a predefined nominal profile. The apparatus is distinguished by the fact that the draping apparatus is adjustable for a variation of a cross section of the nominal profile. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding method for the production of parisons from fiber-reinforced plastic.

Apparatus for producing preforms

The invention relates to an end effector for a manipulator, wherein the end effector interacts with a workpiece, wherein at least one carrier, configured in particular as a carrier plate, for a tool arrangement is provided, and wherein the tool arrangement serves to interact with the workpiece. It is proposed that the carrier is formed at least in part from a deformable material, in particular from an elastically deformable material, and that the carrier is assigned an actuating arrangement, by way of which the carrier is deformable and thus the tool arrangement is orientable in space.

End effector

In a device and method for manufacturing preforms of fiber reinforced plastic, in a first step, continuously supplied fiber layers are laterally reshaped in a predetermined manner, and the section that is obtained is curved longitudinally in a specific manner in a second step.

Method and device for manufacturing preforms of fiber reinforced plastic

For manufacture of fiber-reinforced components, a positionable base frame is used on which a controllable holding device is provided for gripping and holding at least one reinforced fiber layer. A draping device is provided on the base frame, using which the reinforced fiber layer may be draped onto a mold core via the application of a vacuum.
