Division [1B001] Equipment designed for the “production” of “composite” structures or laminates or “fibrous or filamentary materials”, as follows, and specially designed components and accessories therefor:F1F2

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

NB:

SEE ALSO 1B101 AND 1B201.

  1. a..

    Filament winding machines, of which the motions for positioning, wrapping and winding fibres are coordinated and programmed in three or more ‘primary servo positioning’ axes, specially designed for the manufacture of "composite" structures or laminates, from "fibrous or filamentary materials";

  2. b..

    ‘Tape-laying machines’, of which the motions for positioning and laying tape are coordinated and programmed in five or more ‘primary servo positioning’ axes, specially designed for the manufacture of "composite" airframe or ‘missile’ structures;

    Note:

    In 1B001.b., ‘missile’ means complete rocket systems and unmanned aerial vehicle systems.

    Technical Note:

    For the purposes of 1B001.b., ‘tape-laying machines’ have the ability to lay one or more ‘filament bands’ limited to widths greater than 25,4 mm and less than or equal to 304,8 mm, and to cut and restart individual ‘filament band’ courses during the laying process.

  3. c..

    Multidirectional, multidimensional weaving machines or interlacing machines, including adapters and modification kits, specially designed or modified for weaving, interlacing or braiding fibres, for "composite" structures;

    Technical Note:

    For the purposes of 1B001.c., the technique of interlacing includes knitting.

  4. d..

    Equipment specially designed or F3modified for the “production” of “fibrous or filamentary materials” specified in 1C010, as follows:

    1. 1..

      Equipment for converting polymeric fibres (such as polyacrylonitrile, rayon, pitch or polycarbosilane) into carbon fibres or silicon carbide fibres, including special equipment to strain the fibre during heating;

    2. 2..

      Equipment for the chemical vapour deposition of elements or compounds, on heated filamentary substrates, to manufacture silicon carbide fibres;

    3. 3..

      Equipment for the wet-spinning of refractory ceramics (such as aluminium oxide);

    4. 4..

      Equipment for converting aluminium containing precursor fibres into alumina fibres by heat treatment;

  5. e..

    Equipment F4specially designed or modified for the production of F5prepregs by the ‘hot melt method’;

    F6Technical Note:

    For the purposes of 1B001.e., the 'hot melt method' is the process of applying pressure and heat to impregnate “fibrous or filamentary materials” with resin that has been pre-laminated onto a carrier substrate, such as film or paper.

  6. f..

    Non-destructive inspection equipment specially designed for "composite" materials, as follows:

    1. 1..

      X-ray tomography systems for three dimensional defect inspection;

    2. 2..

      Numerically controlled ultrasonic testing machines of which the motions for positioning transmitters or receivers are simultaneously coordinated and programmed in four or more axes to follow the three dimensional contours of the component under inspection;

  7. g..

    ‘Tow-placement machines’, of which the motions for positioning and laying tows are coordinated and programmed in two or more ‘primary servo positioning’ axes, specially designed for the manufacture of "composite" airframe or ‘missile’ structures.

    Technical Note:

    For the purposes of 1B001.g., ‘tow-placement machines’ have the ability to place one or more ‘filament bands’ having widths less than or equal to 25,4 mm, and to cut and restart individual ‘filament band’ courses during the placement process.

    F7For the purposes of 1B001.:

Technical Notes:

1.

F8‘Primary servo positioning’ axes control, under computer F9“program” direction, F10is the positioning of the end effector (i.e., head) in space relative to the work piece at the correct orientation and direction to achieve the desired process.

2.

F11A ‘filament band’ is a single continuous width of fully or partially resin-impregnated tape, tow or fibre. Fully or partially resin-impregnated ‘filament bands’ include those coated with dry powder that tacks upon heating.
