Items:
a. Filament winding machines, of which the motions for positioning, wrapping and winding fibers are coordinated and programmed in three or more 'primary servo positioning' axes, “specially designed” for the manufacture of “composite” structures or laminates, from “fibrous or filamentary materials”;
b. 'Tape laying machines', of which the motions for positioning and laying tape are coordinated and programmed in five or more 'primary servo positioning' axes, “specially designed” for the manufacture of “composite” airframe or missile structures;
Technical Note:
For the purposes of 1B001.b, 'tape-laying machines' have the ability to lay one or more 'filament bands' limited to widths greater than 25.4 mm and less than or equal to 304.8 mm, and to cut and restart individual 'filament band' courses during the laying process.
c. Multidirectional, multidimensional weaving machines or interlacing machines, including adapters and modification kits, “specially designed” or modified for weaving, interlacing or braiding fibers for “composite” structures;
Technical Note:
For the purposes of 1B001.c the technique of interlacing includes knitting.
d. Equipment “specially designed” or adapted for the production of reinforcement fibers, as follows:
d.1. Equipment for converting polymeric fibers (such as polyacrylonitrile, rayon, pitch or polycarbosilane) into carbon fibers or silicon carbide fibers, including special equipment to strain the fiber during heating;
d.2. Equipment for the chemical vapor deposition of elements or compounds, on heated filamentary substrates, to manufacture silicon carbide fibers;
d.3. Equipment for the wet-spinning of refractory ceramics (such as aluminum oxide);
d.4. Equipment for converting aluminum containing precursor fibers into alumina fibers by heat treatment;
e. Equipment for producing prepregs controlled by 1C010.e by the hot melt method;
f. Non-destructive inspection equipment “specially designed” for “composite” materials, as follows:
f.1. X-ray tomography systems for three dimensional defect inspection;
f.2. Numerically controlled ultrasonic testing machines of which the motions for positioning transmitters or receivers are simultaneously coordinated and programmed in four or more axes to follow the three dimensional contours of the “part” or “component” under inspection;
g. Tow-placement machines, of which the motions for positioning and laying tows are coordinated and programmed in two or more 'primary servo positioning' axes, “specially designed” for the manufacture of “composite” airframe or missile structures.
Technical Note to 1B001.g:
For the purposes of 1B001.g, 'tow-placement machines' have the ability to place one or more 'filament bands' having widths less than or equal to 25.4 mm, and to cut and restart individual 'filament band' courses during the placement process.
Technical Notes for 1B001:
1. For the purposes of 1B001, 'primary servo positioning' axes control, under computer “program” direction, the position of the end effector (i.e., head) in space relative to the work piece at the correct orientation and direction to achieve the desired process.
2. For the purposes of 1B001, a 'filament band' is a single continuous width of fully or partially resin-impregnated tape, tow or fiber. Fully or partially resin-impregnated 'filament bands' include those coated with dry powder that tacks upon heating.
