The invention relates to a tooling for stamping a composite blank with a thermoplastic matrix and continuous fibrous reinforcement, and a stamping method using such a tooling, the tooling comprising: a die comprising an imprint (110) having a bottom (111) and side walls (112); a punch (120) the external shape of which is paired with the imprint of the die and comprising a central part (123) and at least two lateral movable parts (121, 122) in sliding connection with the central part (123), so that the movable lateral parts being stopped in translation according to a striking direction (190) against the bottom of the die, a further displacement of the central part (123) in the same direction causes the movable lateral parts to move in translations perpendicular to the striking direction (190).

An apparatus for molding a pouch includes: a die assembly with a die; a stripper assembly to press and fix both sides of a pouch film disposed on the die; and a punch assembly with a punch to mold an electrode assembly accommodation part in the pouch film. The stripper assembly includes: a stripper disposed at a punch assembly lower portion to press and fix the pouch film; a stripper driving piece at a punch assembly upper portion to provide force so that the stripper presses the pouch film; and a connection part to connect the stripper driving piece to the stripper to transmit the force. The connection part includes: two or more connection rods coupled to the stripper; a connection bar coupled to the stripper driving piece; and a connection piece to connect one or more of the connection rods to the connection bar to transmit the force.

A method for producing a sandwich composite component and a sandwich composite component are described having a pressed two- or three-dimensional shape, at least one structured core layer is made of thermoplastic material which has two opposite core layer surfaces which are bonded to a thermoplastic cover layer. A sandwich composite component is also described.

The invention relates to a curing mold (10) for manufacturing a turbomachine component made of composite material from a preform (200), comprising: a first and a second body (11, 12) defining an air gap receiving the preform; at least one primary channel (21) arranged in the first and/or the second body; an injection member (22) of a pressurized fluid in the primary channels; at least one secondary channel (23), in which a piston (24) slides, which delimits, on the one hand, a first chamber (26) in communication with the or a primary channel and, on the other hand, a second chamber (27) in communication with the air gap, and which is designed to compress thermosetting resin which has entered the second chamber from the preform in the air gap, so as to put the preform under hydrostatic pressure.

An apparatus for molding a pouch, which includes: a transfer device configured to transfer a pouch film; a molding device configured to press a top surface of the pouch film to mold an accommodation part for accommodating an electrode assembly; and an inspection device configured to calculate a depth value of the accommodation part formed in the pouch film detect defects. The inspection device includes: a distance measuring member configured to measure a first measurement value and a second measurement value, and an inspection member configured to calculate a depth value of the accommodation part by subtracting the first measurement value from the second measurement value, wherein if the calculated depth value is within a set input value range, it is determined as normal, and if the calculated depth value is out of the set input value range, it is determined as defective.
