Abstract
A compression molding device configured for the production of a part in composite material starting from a plate in composite with a thermoplastic matrix is described. The device comprises: a fixed support structure; an upper half-die provided with a first contoured surface corresponding to the profile of an upper surface of the part to be made; a lower half-die provided with a second contoured surface corresponding to the profile of a lower surface of the part to be made; holding means carried by the support structure and configured to hold the plate in a position interposed between the half-dies; and moving means for moving at least one of the half-dies from and towards the plate. The holding means comprise two or more releasable grippers gripping by friction distinct portions of the peripheral edge of the plate and configured to completely release or allow the complete release of the plate.
