Abstract
A tool for use with Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) machines and systems for use in in-process inspection of composite parts. The AFP system uses a robot, fiber guide, compaction roller, heating system, and an in-process inspection tool. The in-process inspection tool utilizes at least one profiler housed within a support bracket, which mounts the profiler on an AFP head of the AFP system such that the profiler does not interfere with the AFP layup, but outputs an in-process inspection signal representing a surface profile of a fiber strip as it is placed onto a molding for a composite part by the AFP head.
