Problem Using thermoplastic composites within an Automated Tape Placement process requires controlling drastically the temperature in order to heat the matrix enough to melt it, but not too much to avoid burning. Thus, to reach the optimal temperature within a given zone, we want defining the power of the source by integrating in the robot's control loop, the temperature field which is computed for many values of different parameters.
