20140234458 | Device for manufacturing components from fiber-reinforced composites - A device for producing fiber-reinforced composites has a mold with an airtightly closed mold chamber for forming a composite of fiber material and matrix material. A membrane in the mold separates fiber and matrix material from a gas suction passage. A suction connector is connected to the mold and sucks gas out of the mold chamber via the gas suction passage. The matrix material flows from the resin container into the mold chamber through an inflow connector. A sensor provided on the inflow connector or the resin connector and connected to the actuator measures actual pressure existing in the inflow connector or the resin connector. An actuator is connected to the closure element and moves the closure element, when activated by a trigger signal emitted by the sensor, from an open into a closed position so that the closure element closes off the inflow connector or the resin container. | 08-21-2014 |
