Abstract
A device for the manufacture of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite module from a multiplicity of module components, which are continuously moved in the feed direction and are connected together section-by-section. The device includes a tool mold configured and arranged to be continuously traversed in the feed direction for purposes of positioning module components relative to one another. A pressure application head is configured and arranged to be traversed in the feed direction and in the counter-direction for purposes of connecting the module components. The pressure application head is configured and arranged to move at the same speed and in the same direction as the continuously moving tool mold, and then in an opposite direction, in order to connect to each section of the fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite during reciprocal movement.
