A fiber placement system for manufacturing components from composite materials is provided. The system includes a head system mounted to a pedestal and rotatable about a center longitudinal axis of the head system. The system also includes a robot in proximity to the head system, as well as a magazine for carrying a plurality of mold assemblies. The magazine is operable to index each mold assembly to a first location where it is retrievable by the robot, and a second location where it is outside of a working envelope of the robot.
