Abstract
A machine for producing a reinforcement for a composite component. The machine includes a stand with a subframe having uprights with slideways for mounting a transverse bar on which is mounted a movable carriage. The carriage has a first movable arm extending in another direction and includes a second movable arm. The carriage is movable in a first direction, X, the first arm is movable in a second direction, Y, orthogonal to the first, and the second arm is movable transversely with respect to the plane defined by the bar and first arm in a third, Z, direction. Motors are provided to producing such movements. The second arm includes a thread-stitching tool which also constitutes a tool for laying down the thread and is mounted on a rotary support at the lower end of which is arranged the needle.
