Abstract

A method for mending damaged areas in fiber composite components formed from a plurality of unidirectional fiber layers includes the steps of automatically lifting at least one fiber layer of the fiber composite component at a cutting edge of the at least one fiber layer using a delaminating device, removing the at least one fiber layer in the extension direction of the fiber orientation of the at least one fiber layer, and separating off the removed at least one fiber layer in a defined manner at a separating edge defined by a separating device placed on the fiber composite component.
