A method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade shell part is described. Fibre mats and a root end insert are laid up in a mould part in a layup procedure by use of an automated layup system. The fibre mats are laid up by use of a buffer so that the fibre mats may continuously be laid up on the mould surface, also during a cutting procedure. The root end insert is prepared in advance and mounted on a mounting plate. The root end insert is lowered onto the mould by use of the mounting plate and a lowering mechanism. After the wind turbine blade shell has been moulded, the mounting plate is removed.

A housing included in a home appliance and used as a decorative housing is shaped like an inverted tray and includes a wood layer, a non-woven cloth layer bonded to the wood layer via a bonding resin layer, and a substrate resin layer fixed to the wood layer while infiltrating gaps between fibers in the non-woven cloth layer. A predetermined cutout pattern is formed on a colored coating film applied to a front surface of the non-woven cloth layer.

A method for producing an aircraft structural component includes the steps of introducing a plurality of semi-finished product layers for producing a component from a fibre-reinforced, thermoplastic plastic material into a compression mould, applying pressure to the stacked semi-finished product layers, the stacked semi-finished product layers being fixed, before pressure is applied, at particular points in their position in the compression mould and/or relative to one another in such a way that, while pressure is being applied to the semi-finished product layers stacked in the compression mould, a sliding movement of the semi-finished product layers relative to one another and/or relative to the compression mould, preventing wrinkling in the semi-finished product layers, takes place, and removing the aircraft structural component from the compression mould.

A resin molding device that can hold a thin and large-size workpiece without positional displacement when the workpiece is conveyed even if dimensional tolerance and rigidity are different, and can convey the workpiece to a mold frame without losing flatness or damage is provided.

When a loader (4) holds a workpiece (W) aligned by a preheating part (10), a center position of a loader hand (4b) is aligned with a center position of the workpiece (W) according to an amount of positional displacement between an external form position of the workpiece (W) and a reference position in the X-Y direction and the workpiece (W) is then held.

Manufacturing optoelectronic modules includes supporting a printed circuit board substrate (27) on a first vacuum injection tool (24). The printed circuit board substrate (27) has at least one optoelectronic component mounted thereon and has a solder mask (40) on a surface (46) facing away from the first vacuum injection tool (24). The method includes causing the first vacuum injection tool (24) and a second vacuum injection tool (22) to be brought closer to one another such that a surface (46) of the second vacuum injection tool (22) is in contact with the solder mask (40). Subsequently, a first epoxy (100, 20) is provided, using a vacuum injection technique, in spaces (104) between the upper tool (22) and the solder mask (40).

The invention relates to a device for producing a spacer having a casting mold lower part (1) with a cavity (2), a casting mold wall (3) which extends peripherally away from an edge of the cavity (2) and which is open on the opposite side, a casting mold upper part (5) with a shaping surface (6), wherein the casting mold upper part (5) can be inserted into an interior (4) of the casting mold lower part (1) and is displaceable in the direction of the cavity (2), such that a hollow space is formed which is delimited by the cavity (2), the shaping surface (6) and the casting mold wall (3) and in which the spacer is moldable, at least one container (7) for receiving excess bone cement paste, and at least one opening (8) in the shaping surface (6) and/or in the cavity (2), which opens into the at least one container (7) for receiving excess bone cement paste.

The invention also relates to a method for producing spacers using such a device.

The device comprises at least one forming and wrap-around labeling assembly (60) suitable for taking up an active configuration in which said assembly has a forming chamber (36) and a looping chamber (46), which chambers are in axial alignment and communicate with each other via an annular passageway (62) provided through the end wall of the forming chamber. The assembly is further provided with a pusher member (66) configured to push a wrap-around label (27) that is looped in the looping chamber into the forming chamber. At least one portion (36C′) in the forming chamber (36) flares going away from the end wall (36B) of the forming chamber and the pusher member is configured to expand radially while pushing the wrap-around label (26A) into said flared portion (36C′) of the forming chamber (36).
