Abstract

A continuous fully mechanized fabrication of structural components from layered tape sections, for example from fiber composite material, is possible with an apparatus comprising a cutting means with at least one support plate which is movable forward and backward alongside a moving starting material in tape form synchronously therewith, and a depositing and stacking unit which is movable together with said cutting means and in the direction of which the support plate is pivotable and which is positionable relative to the support plate.
