Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for producing structural profiles by means of continuous fibre braiding, which comprises: a machine for braiding fibres around a mandrel, the forward movement of which defines a longitudinal axis of the system; a module for injecting resin into the braided fibres; a module for curing the resin-impregnated fibres; a device for inserting and removing the mandrel; and a device for pulling the profile, wherein the braiding machine is a dual braiding machine counected to a respective fibre-reloading machine.

A system for producing structural profiles by means of continuous fibre braiding, comprising:
- a machine for braiding fibres around a mandrel, the forward movement of which defines a longitudinal axis of the system,
- a module for injecting resin into the braided fibres,
- a module for curing the resin-impregnated fibres,
- a device for inserting and removing the mandrel, and
- a device for pulling the profile,
- wherein said braiding machine is a dual braiding machine associated to a fibre-reloading machine,
- wherein elements of the dual braiding machine are duplicated, and
- wherein the dual braiding machine is configured to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the system.
A system for producing structural profiles by means of continuous fibre braiding, comprising:
- a machine for braiding fibres around a mandrel, the forward movement of which defines a longitudinal axis of the system,
- a module for injecting resin into the braided fibres,
- a module for curing the resin-impregnated fibres,
- a device for inserting and removing the mandrel, and
- a device for pulling the profile,
- wherein said braiding machine is a dual braiding machine associated to a fibre-reloading machine,
- wherein the fibre-reloading machine comprises a plurality of fibre-holding clamps, and
- wherein the fibre-reloading machine comprises a plurality of pairs of rods arranged radially and in that each holding clamp is able to slide along the respective pair of rods, thus defining a fibre pick-up position and a fibre tying position.
