Precursor station
To achieve longer production runs,precursor packages will get larger and once a 'one man lift' operation is exceeded, suitable lifting gear must be provided.Creels and improved box handling facilities designed to suit the larger packages, probably with the introduction of robotics for continuous splicing, hence reducing downtime, is required. The golden rule with precursor handling is to have the least number of contact points in order to minimize filament damage.
It is possible that in the future , precursor fiber will be produced on textile beams, but these would be heavy and difficult to manipulate and would necessitate the return of the empty beams to the precursor supplier.( Carbon fibers and their composites PETER MORGAN P.194)
Precursor creel
The batch numbers of all precursor spools used on the line should be recorded and a list made of any defects found.The correct degree of braking should be applied to all spools so that they rotate freely and give a uniform band of precursor entering the oxidation oven.
