Abstract: Carbon fiber composite materials have many excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, friction resistance and corrosion resistance, which are widely used in aerospace, automatic manufacturing and other related fields. In view of the wide application of carbon fiber composite materials, automated placement equipment and technology for preparing carbon fiber composite materials have also been rapidly developed. In recent years, remarkable achievements have been made in the field of automated placement of composite materials. The research on automated placement technology of carbon fiber composite materials is a comprehensive study of placement equipment, placement trajectory, placement technology and placement software technology. Among them, the researchers combined the placement head with the fiber creel to realize the integrated structure of the carbon fiber composite placement equipment, which provides the basis for fully automated placement. At first, the placement trajectory of carbon fiber composite materials used relatively simple fixed-angle placement, but in recent years, variable-angle placement has become a research focus, which can improve the mechanical properties of placement components. In addition, the researchers studied the placement process of composite materials, such as placement temperature, placement speed and placement pressure, realized the optimization of placement process parameters and improved the forming quality of placement components. In addition, in the research of composite material automated placement software technology, based on the placement process and component shape requirements, the researchers developed a CAD/CAM software system matching the placement equipment to realize the automation and intelligence placement of composite materials. This paper reviews the research progress of automated placement technology at home and abroad focusing on the structural applicability of automated placement equipment, fiber placement trajectory planning and control, optimization of placement process parameters and automated placement software systems. Based on the development status of composite automated placement technology, the existing problems of composite automated placement technology in China are summarized, and the development trend direction of composite automated placement technology is discussed.
