FIELD: compression molding.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a compression molding device. Technical result is achieved by compression molding device (1), which is made with possibility of making part (2, 2', 2'', 2''') from composite material based on plate (3) from composite material with thermoplastic matrix. Device (1) includes: fixed support structure (9), upper half-mold (10) having first shaped surface (11), corresponding to the profile of upper surface (4) of part (2, 2', 2'', 2'''), which is to be made, lower half-mold (12) having the second shaped surface (13), corresponding to the profile of lower surface (5) of part (2, 2', 2'', 2'''), which is to be made, retainers (15) installed on support structure (9) and configured to hold plate (3) in position between half-molds (10, 12), and moving means for moving at least one of half-molds (10, 12) from plate (3) and towards it. At that, retaining means (15) contain two or more detachable grips (16), gripping by friction separate sections of peripheral edge (18) of plate (3) and made with possibility of complete release or provision of possibility of complete release of plate (3) after compression of the latter between half-molds (10, 12) during molding.
EFFECT: reduced amount of scraps.
10 cl, 10 dwg
