Abstract
Automated composite tape laying systems primarily intended for the manufacture of highly contoured jet engine nacelle skins are described. Processes, robots, end-effectors, and the software required to effectively automate composite part fabrication using long, flat strips of composite material called tapes are discussed. The tape-laying process is described in detail
