Method for reinforcing a fiber composite comonent and arrangement for producing a reinforced fiber composite component

A method for reinforcing a fibre composite component for the aviation and aerospace industry, comprising the following steps:

• providing a reinforcing element comprising a receiving region and a pressure element adapted to the geometry of the receiving region;
• inserting the pressure element into the receiving region of the reinforcing element;
• fastening the reinforcing element and the inserted pressure element relative to one another in a reproducible manner by means of a reversible fastening device, the reversible fastening device comprising at least a first fastening portion mounted on the pressure element and at least a second fastening portion which can be mounted on the reinforcing element;
• applying the reinforcing element, together with the pressure element fastened thereto, in a reproducible manner to the fibre composite component to be reinforced, to form a moulding portion;
• curing the formed moulding portion to connect the reinforcing element to the fibre composite component;
• and
• removing the reversible fastening device and the pressure element from the reinforced fibre composite component.

An arrangement for producing a reinforced fibre composite component for the aviation and aerospace industry, comprising:
