Abstract

Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) is widely recognised as one of the most advanced processes for manufacturing structural composite components. Understanding the process remains at the forefront of academic/industrial investigation due to the myriad of parameters that affect the quality of the deposited tape. A novel AFP testbench, which included a heated glass tool, was developed to aid in the investigation of the material behaviour underneath the roller during compaction. The material behaviour was captured by using a camera directed at the compaction region, where the data was subsequently analysed using a vision analysis technique during a post-processing step. The results indicate that the use of a glass tool can help in quantifying the tape spreading when subjected to varying process temperatures as well as identifying various defects and features that can arise in a typical AFP manufacturing cycle.
