Fiber application head comprising heating means associated with functional modules

A fiber application head for the production of composite material parts by application of bands formed of several continuous fibers arranged side by side, comprising a compaction system comprising several independent compaction rollers and compaction cylinders, and for each fiber, cutting means and rerouting means, comprising:

• for each fiber, the head comprises a functional module including the cutting means and the rerouting means, each functional module is mounted so as to be movable in translation along a compaction direction on a support element of the head,
• each compaction roller is mounted on one or more adjacent functional modules,
• a compaction cylinder is associated with the functional module(s) associated with a compaction roller for the displacement in translation of the functional module(s),
• said head further comprising heating means comprising an independent heating system associated with each compaction roller, said heating system being able to displace together with the functional module(s) associated with said compaction roller.
