Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and devices for post mould processing of a composite structure, wherein the composite structure extends along a longitudinal direction and comprising a main composite part, and a flange section extending around a perimeter of the main composite part. The flange section comprises an upper surface having a first mating part with a specific shape in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the first mating part being located at a fixed position relative to the main composite part. The method may comprise attaching a guiding device to the outer surface of the composite structure and inspecting and/or processing the surface area with a tool fitted to the guiding device.

Abstract: A scarfing machine includes a base and a pair of platens adjustably positioned on the base. The pair of platens are configured as an upper platen and a lower platen such that the upper platen is fixed to the base and the lower platen is adjustably positioned on the base, to receive and support a member for scarfing. Also, at least one platen of the pair of platens is hollow and is defined with an inlet port and an outlet port. The scarfing machine further includes a scarfing tool, extending from either side and along a length of at least one of the pair of platens, to scarf the member supported between the pair of platens. The scarfing machine also includes a cooling circuit, fluidly connectable to the inlet port and the outlet port of the at least one platen of the pair of platens.
