Method and device for producing a reinforcing profile

Abstract

Producing a reinforcing profile from at least one layer cut out of a preimpregnated fibrous web includes applying the at least one layer to a mould core that determines the profile shape, retaining the at least one layer on the mould core in an application region, and progressively pressing the at least one layer onto the mould core, starting from the application region, transversely to the profile longitudinal direction, as far as the profile longitudinal edges. In order to create advantageous production conditions, the layer may be pressed incrementally progressively so as to be shaped onto the mould core, in the longitudinal direction thereof, with the aid of moulding punches that are arranged offset with respect to one another both in the circumferential direction and in the longitudinal direction of the mould core and are able to be forced in the direction of the moulding faces of the mould core.
