Concept Selection • Resin Bath – Re-Design • Tensioner – Pre-Bath vs. Post-Bath – Variable Spring vs. Tortuous Path • Relative Speed Drive – Two Motor Option
System Architecture Tensioner Resin Bath Creel Feed Eye Power Supply Mandrel Controller Motor Assembly Lathe
Incidental Interaction Graph Vibrations
Engineering Analysis Raw Materials – Fiberglass vs. Carbon fiber – Epoxy vs. Polystyrene Resins • Fiber • Vapors Resin Bath Materials – Steel/Aluminum – Polypropylene, polyethylene Tension Considerations – Before or After Impregnation – 1 to 6 lbf Fiber Handling – No more than 20° from feed eye to mandrel
