Abstract

See full text

An end effector for the through thickness reinforcement of a fibrous preform includes a needle cleaning material configured to contact a needle to clean resin from the needle during or between through thickness reinforcement operations. The needle cleaning material may extend from a presser foot toward the needle. The needle cleaning material may slidingly engage the needle in response to movement of one of the needle or the presser foot moving (e.g., translating and/or rotating) with respect to the other of the needle or the presser foot.
