Abstract
A fiber reinforced polymer beam may be manufactured by winding one or more strands of resin coated fibers about four pins mounted upon a winding fixture, each pin being independently translatable along the winding fixture and being independently extendable into, and retractable out of, the winding fixture. As the fiber is wound around the two exterior pins the interior pins will retract and translate to positions exterior of the pins being wound and will then extend to receive the next wrap of fiber. As the exterior pins are wound the interior pins continue to be translated to a position outside of the pins being wound so as to be in position to receive the next wrap of the fibers.
