Summary:Automatic tape laying is a widely-used fabricating process for fiber-reinforced composite materials in aerospace and aviation industry. To fulfill the tape laying process, it is necessary to cut the prepreg tape into designated shape accurately and promptly. In this paper, a scheme of ultrasonic cutting bench is put forward to investigate the parameters of ultrasonic cutting process. The functional requirements are analyzed and the key components of ultrasonic cutting bench, such as transverse feed mechanism of cutter, revolving gear of cutter, and mechanism for precision positioning of cutting depth, are presented in detail, which lays a solid foundation for future experimental research.
