• 2. Equipment for the vapour deposition of elements or compounds on heated filament substrates;
• 3. Equipment for the wet-spinning of refractory ceramics (such as aluminium oxide)
• Equipment designed or modified for the production of fibrous or filamentary materials as follows:
• Multi-directional, multi-dimensional weaving machines or interlacing machines, including adapters and modification kits for weaving, interlacing or braiding fibres to manufacture composite structures;Note:6.B.1.c. does not control textile machinery not modified for the end-uses stated.
• 1. Equipment for converting polymeric fibres (such as polyacrylonitrile, rayon, or polycarbosilane) including special provision to strain the fibre during heating;
• ‘Tape-laying machines’ of which the motions for positioning and laying tape can be co-ordinated and programmed in two or more axes, designed for the manufacture of composite airframes and missile structures;Note:For the purposes of 6.B.1.a. and 6.B.1.b., the following definitions apply:1.A ‘filament band’ is a single continuous width of fully or partially resinimpregnated tape, tow, or fibre. Fully or partially resin-impregnated ‘filament bands’ include those coated with dry powder that tacks upon heating.2.‘Fibre/tow-placement machines’ and ‘tape-laying machines’ are machines that perform similar processes that use computer-guided heads to lay one or several ‘filament bands’ onto a mold to create a part or a structure. These machines have the ability to cut and restart individual ‘filament band’ courses during the laying process.3.‘Fibre/tow-placement machines’ have the ability to place one or more ‘filament bands’ having widths less than or equal to 25,4 mm. This refers to the minimum width of material the machine can place, regardless of the upper capability of the machine.4.‘Tape-laying machines’ have the ability to place one or more ‘filament bands’ having widths less than or equal to 304,8 mm, but cannot place ‘filaments bands’ with a width equal to or less than 25,4 mm. This refers to the minimum width of material the machine can place, regardless of the upper capability of the machine.
• Equipment designed or modified for special fibre surface treatment or for producing prepregs and preforms, including rollers, tension stretchers, coating equipment, cutting equipment and clicker dies.Note:Examples of components and accessories for the machines specified in 6.B.1. are moulds, mandrels, dies, fixtures and tooling for the preform pressing, curing, casting, sintering or bonding of composite structures, laminates and manufactures thereof
• Filament winding machines or ‘fibre/tow-placement machines’, of which the motions for positioning, wrapping and winding fibres can be coordinated and programmed in three or more axes, designed to fabricate composite structures or laminates from fibrous or filamentary materials, and co-ordinating and programming controls
