Abstract
The system for stretch-forming composite material bands () includes, in addition to an unrolling head (), an original assembly composed of a light source () for heating the band () and hardening the composite and a pair of rollers (and) applying the desired pressure to assemble the band to a laminated composite () already deposited or applying it to the support (). As the application of heat is concentrated at a distance from the rollers (and) and with a perpendicular incidence, the rollers can be conveniently made of an elastic material, which enables them to adapt to the transverse curvature of the support equipment () and to apply a uniform pressure.
