Popis: With the advantages of high specific strength and well corrosion resistance, polymer-matrix composite tee pipes are widely used in aerospace and civilian fields. The robotic filament winding technology is suitable for forming complex shape parts. This paper aims to provide a novel non-geodesic trajectory design method to get a continuous trajectory for tee pipe winding. Furthermore, post-processing methods are proposed for realizing the full coverage of tee pipes by robotic filament winding. The CAD/CAM software is then designed to simulate the winding process and realize the cover of the whole tee pipe. Finally, experiments of winding a tee pipe with a desktop winding machine and a six-axis winding robot are carried out. The results show that the tee pipe is fully covered, verifying the accuracy of the design method and post-processing methods.
