Abstract
A tape laying machine is disclosed carrying a tape laminator unit which forms in situ from individual strips of composite material. The strips are first spaced apart on a carrier sheet and next compressed to a relatively thin widened state where the widened strips are contiguous to one another, forming a unitary wide composite tape. The tape is conveyed to a tape laydown station where it is transferred from the carrier sheet and deposited on a work surface.
