Abstract
In a method and apparatus for producing fiber composite material components, a first web of the fiber composite material is applied to a mold by means of an application tool arranged on a positioning device. A height profile of the applied first web is measured by means of a height profile measuring sensor. During the application of a second web of the fiber composite material to the mold, a control device activates at least one drive motor of the positioning device depending on the measured height profile, so that application errors, such as overlapping of the webs, are avoided. The webs are applied in opposite application directions by rotating the application tool 180° relative to the positioning device upon a change in the application direction. Two height profile measuring sensors arranged next to one another on the application tool for measuring the height profile of the applied webs.
