Title:
PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING OF FREE FORM INFLATABLE BODIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/190789
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
Process for manufacturing inflatable bodies capable of assuming a desired complexly curved shape comprising two, around their circumference hermetically bonded opposing membranes (3, 4) which are internally linked by a plurality of link tapes (1), which tapes are bonded at an exact length and inclination angle at an exactly determined position. By numerical instructions, a continuous tape is fed and bonded alternately on the insides of the membranes by means of a robotized tape positioning head, creating bond lines (2) between the tape and a membrane. Any fold occurring through local inclination, or planar angle variation of the tape relative to a membrane is kept between two bond lines on a membrane (3, 4). A robotized tape positioning and bonding head inside, and a bond activation head outside of a membrane can position relative to a membrane (3, 4) by means of printed positioning marks, optical and proximity sensors to create the bond lines (2).
