Abstract
Tape winding is a variation on filament winding, in which a single tap e is used instead of a bundle of independently tensioned rovings. At K .U. Leuven, a robotic tape winding cell has been developed. Starting f rom data of the fiber paths, a collision-free off-line robot program i s generated. To avoid collisions a heuristic method is used. The metho d has been validated by winding of a T-piece.
