Method For Making A Composite

View page
US Patent:
6759002, Jul 6, 2004
Filed:
Sep 29, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/407278
Inventors:
Dwight L. Engwall - Wichita KS
Chris J. Morrow - Wichita KS
Kevin J. Steen - Wichita KS
Roger A. Johnson - Wichita KS
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Seattle WA
International Classification:
B29C 7044
US Classification:
264510, 264102, 264162, 264163, 264255, 264257, 264258, 264324, 264511, 264571, 156245, 156253, 156285
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a composite uses a hybrid tool which serves both as a form on which constituent materials are applied for bonding or curing into a part in a desired configuration, and as a fixture for holding the bonded or cured materials in the originally applied position during subsequent machining of a peripheral edge of the part. The method includes fabricating a face sheet of composite material having a facing surface configured to the reverse of a desired shape of one surface of a part to be made on the tool. The materials for the part are applied on the face sheet, debulked, bonded or cured, and edge trimmed thereon, all while on the face sheet in the originally applied position.

Unidirectional, Multi-Head Fiber Placement

US Patent:
7048024, May 23, 2006
Filed:
Aug 22, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/646316
Inventors:
Randall R. Clark - Wichita KS, US
Dwight L. Engwall - Haysville KS, US
Mark G. Yonash - Derby KS, US
Jeffrey A. New - Mukilteo WA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B65H 81/00
US Classification:
156425, 156429, 156430, 156431, 156432, 156523, 156574, 156577
Abstract:
An aircraft part manufacturing device for automated composite lay up includes a mandrel tool having a an interior mandrel surface that conforms to an outside mold line (OML) of a part: to be manufactured. One or more circular rings surround the mandrel and are attached to the mandrel. The circular rings rotate supported by bearings in a bearing cradle so that the mandrel rotates concentrically with the circular rings about an axis of rotation passing through the center of the circular rings. Multiple composite material delivery heads simultaneously deliver material directly to the outside mold line on the interior mandrel surface while the mandrel is rotated. A cantilever supported gantry beam supports the material delivery heads inside the interior mandrel surface. A connecting mechanism connects the material delivery heads to the gantry beam and provides motion of the material delivery heads relative to the interior mandrel surface.

US Patent:
7141191, Nov 28, 2006
Filed:
May 2, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/428454
Inventors:
Dwight L. Engwall - Haysville KS, US
John F. Costello - Derby KS, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B29C 70/30
US Classification:
264 401, 264139, 264155, 264156, 264169, 264238
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for use in manufacturing a composite part includes molding a composite part on a lay-up tool, machining a sacrificial portion of a first surface for securing a first hardware device with the composite part while the part is on the lay-up tool and cutting the part forming a peripheral edge while the part is on the lay-up tool. The method can further include positioning the first hardware device in contact with a machined interface of the composite part and machining the part including drilling a plurality of positioning holes through the hardware device and the part while the part is on the lay-up tool. The machining can include machining the sacrificial portion creating a machined interface and positioning the hardware device on the machined interface.

US Patent:
7293737, Nov 13, 2007
Filed:
Apr 20, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/830291
Inventors:
Dwight L. Engwall - Haysville KS, US
Christopher J. Morrow - Wichita KS, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B65H 16/02
US Classification:
242590
Abstract:
A co-cured composite stringer and associated apparatus and method are provided. The co-cured composite stringer includes a stringer and a mandrel positioned within a channel defined in the stringer. A plurality of strips are positioned within an opening of the mandrel, and a substrate layer, such as aircraft skin, is positioned adjacent to the stringer. During application of the substrate layer to the stringer, the mandrel and plurality of strips support the stringer.
