Abstract:
A winding machine for winding a fiber texture on an impregnation mandrel, the winding machine including: a takeup mandrel for storing a fiber texture, the takeup mandrel having an axis of rotation; an impregnation mandrel for having superposed layers of the fiber texture stored on the takeup mandrel wound thereon, the impregnation mandrel having an axis of rotation that is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the takeup mandrel; at least one electric motor for driving the mandrels in rotation about their respective axes of rotation; and a control unit for controlling the at least one electric motor for driving the mandrels in rotation.
Abstract:
A device for assisting in cutting of a fiber texture layer wound on an impregnation mandrel of a winding machine, the device including two positioning stops each configured to be positioned on a respective side plate of the impregnation mandrel, and a plate forming a cutting jig that is configured to be positioned on the fiber texture layer that is to be cut in register with the protective film, the plate including a slot extending in position between the side plates of the impregnation mandrel and serving to guide a cutting tool.
Abstract:
A compacting device for a machine for winding a fiber texture on an impregnation mandrel, the device including a frame including mounted thereon a compacting roller for bearing against an outside surface of an impregnation mandrel of a winding machine, and two compacting wheels, each configured to bear against a corner formed between the outside surface and a side plate of the impregnation mandrel.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a former for fabricating a gas composite material casing for a gas turbine, the casing being obtained by forming fiber reinforcement as superposed layers of a fiber texture and densifying the fiber reinforcement with a matrix. The former has two cheekplates and an annular wall with an outside surface presenting a profile that corresponds to the profile of the inside surface of the casing that is to be fabricated, the annular wall of the former including removable fastener means for fastening a fiber texture layer and serving to hold the first layer of the fiber texture mechanically while the fiber texture is being wound on the former.

Abstract:
A pressure maintaining device for a resin injecting system, including a first chamber that can be connected to a pressurizing device and is able to be connected to a vacuum generating device; a second chamber that can be connected to a resin injection network of the injection system by a resin injection pipe and a resin outlet pipe, the first chamber and the second chamber being arranged so that the one is unable to leak into the other; a flexible body able to transmit pressurizing of the first chamber to the second chamber so as to apply pressure to the injection network of the injection system; a perforated rigid plate able to limit the deformation of the flexible body when the vacuum is created in the first chamber.
