Abstract
A fiber application machine comprising a fiber application head, a displacing system to displace said fiber application head, fiber storage, and a fiber conveyor to convey the fibers from the fiber storage to the application head. The machine further comprises a safety system comprising at least one perimeter barrier defining a safety zone wherein the displacing system carrying the application head is placed, the fiber storage being arranged outside of said safety zone.
Claims15
Fiber application machine comprising:
- a fiber application head further comprising an application roller and means for guiding fibers on said application roller,
- a displacing system to displace said fiber application head,
- fiber storing means,
- fiber conveying means to convey the fibers from said storing means to the application head, and
- a safety system comprising at least one perimeter barrier, formed from a lateral wall defining a safety zone wherein the displacing system carrying the application head is placed, the fiber storing means being arranged outside of said safety zone,
- said safety system forming a protective enclosure, including said lateral wall and an upper wall,
- said fiber application head comprising a heating system of the laser type, said protective enclosure forming a screen to the radiation emitted by the heating system,
- said fibers are conveyed from the storing means to the application head through the protective enclosure in an opening in the lateral wall or the upper wall defining a light insulating structure resiliently surrounding the fiber, wherein the fiber passes through the light insulating structure in a substantially light radiation-tight manner.
