Résumé: In order to realise industrialised manufacturing of epoxy FRP pipes, the manufacturing system which can accomplish winding, internal heating curing and extraction processes by only one machine tool was developed. The winding motion control is undertaken by an embedded motion controller. The curing control system composed of embedded industrial computer and PLC was designed to undertake curing, cooling and blowing control. A thermo-chemical model during cure was established, and an analysis based on the finite element technique was developed to simulate the curing process. It is proved that the applying of internal heating curing process can improve the production efficiency and the quality of high pressure FRP pipes.
