The system can include a die set (22, 24), a plurality of activation (42) and clamping hydraulic cylinders (44), a computer control system (56) and reinforcement and support structures (14). The die set (22/24) can be a mounted lower die half (22) and an adjacent movable upper die half (24), each constructed of individual pieces of plate (36) or bar stock (38, 39, 40 and 41). The computer control system (56) interprets incoming linear position data from all of the activation hydraulic cylinders (42) and monitors and controls hydraulic fluid flow into and out of each cylinder (42/44). The system can also have a plurality of support pillars (14) affixed to the lower die half.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the thickness of press-cured composite articles during the manufacture thereof. The method includes a preparatory or fabrication stage (12) wherein prepreg plies are layed up (16) and compacted (18) to form a plurality of laminates that define a final laminate package that defines the uncured configuration of the composite article. The final laminate package may include supplemental ply-packs layed up at the mid-plane or neutral axis of the final laminate package for the purpose of controlling the overall thickness of the final laminate package. The prepreg plies layed up in the preparatory stage have been precut to conform to the final net shape of the composite article, but include a predetermined overbuild in the width dimension to facilitate control of thickness during cure of the final laminate package. The method further includes a fabrication stage (28) wherein a deformable, back-pressure system is abutted in combination with the final laminate package (32), which is then subjected to a cure cycle (36) to form the cured composite article. The deformable, back-pressure system is controllably deformed during the cure cycle to control and limit the lateral expansion of the final laminate package. The deformable, back-pressure system also prevents fiber washout during cure cycle.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of monitoring exerted pressure during the production of composite material laminates that utilizes a thin, low cost, durable, temperature resistant force sensing resistor (50). The sensor (50) can be embedded directly on the surface of the composite laminate (42), or can be positioned between layers of the composite laminate (42). Alternatively, the sensor (50) is built into or mounted on a tool (46) or die used to form or exert pressure on the laminate (42). In all of these cases, the force sensing resistor (50) monitors the pressure experienced by the laminate (42) during processing of the laminate (42).

    Abstract: Composite polymeric articles significantly larger than the size of a compression molding press are produced by providing a plurality of expandable pillows interposed between an upper plate and the upper exterior surface of an outside the press upper mold. The upper plate has a plurality of downwardly extending paired vertical arms attached to opposite sides of the upper plate. Each vertical arm has a lower portion having a eyelet (or aperture), and each pair of vertical arms together forms an aligned pair of eyelets. When the upper and lower mold portions are pressed together, the eyelets reside below the exterior lower surface of the outside the press lower mold portion. Each eyelet is dimensioned to reversibly receive a horizontal or lateral arm that is deployed below the exterior lower surface of the outside the press lower mold portion. A plastic material is introduced onto the interior surface of the lower mold portion, which is compressed between the upper and lower mold portions via a press having a press area that does not extend out over the outside the press portions of the upper and lower mold portions. The lateral arms are extended through the paired and aligned eyelets. The plurality of expandable pillows are expanded, and the lateral arms are brought into compressive abutment with the exterior lower surface of the outside the press lower mold portion. The plastic material residing between the outside the press upper mold portion and the outside the press lower mold portion is then correspondingly compressed.
