List of Items Controlled
Related Controls: See ECCN 1D101 for software for items controlled by this entry and see ECCNs 1E001 (“development” and “production”) and 1E101 (“use”) for technology for items controlled by this entry. Also see 1B201.
Related Definitions: Examples of “parts,” “components” and accessories for the machines controlled by this entry are molds, mandrels, dies, fixtures and tooling for the preform pressing, curing, casting, sintering or bonding of composite structures, laminates and manufactures thereof.
Items: a. Filament winding machines or 'fiber/tow-placement machines,' of which the motions for positioning, wrapping and winding fibers can be coordinated and programmed in three or more axes, designed to fabricate composite structures or laminates from fibrous or filamentary materials, and coordinating and programming controls;
b. 'Tape-laying machines' of which the motions for positioning and laying tape can be coordinated and programmed in two or more axes, designed for the manufacture of composite airframe and missile structures;
Technical Notes for paragraphs a and b:
For the purposes of 1B101.a. and 1B101.b., the following definitions apply:
1. 'Fiber/tow-placement machines' and 'tape-laying machines' are machines that perform similar processes that use computer-guided heads to lay one or several 'filament bands' onto a mold to create a part or a structure.
These machines have the ability to cut and restart individual 'filament band' courses during the laying process.
2. 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.
3. 'Fiber/tow-placement machines' have the ability to place one or more 'filament bands' having widths less than or equal to 25.4 mm. This refers to the minimum width of material the machine can place, regardless of the upper capability of the machine.
4. 'Tape-laying machines' have the ability to place one or more 'filament bands' having widths less than or equal to 304.8 mm, but cannot place 'filament bands' with a width equal to or less than 25.4 mm. This refers to the minimum width of material the machine can place, regardless of the upper capability of the machine.
c. Equipment designed or modified for the “production” of “fibrous or filamentary materials” as follows:
c.1. Equipment for converting polymeric fibers (such as polyacrylonitrile, rayon or polycarbosilane) including special provision to strain the fiber during heating;
c.2. Equipment for the vapor deposition of elements or compounds on heated filament substrates; and
c.3. Equipment for the wet-spinning of refractory ceramics (such as aluminum oxide);
d. Equipment designed or modified for special fiber surface treatment or for producing prepregs and preforms controlled by 9A110.
Note:
Equipment covered in 1B101.d includes but is not limited to, rollers, tension stretchers, coating equipment, cutting equipment and clicker dies.
