PULTRUSION PROCESS CONTROL IS LIMITED TO PULL SPEED AND TWO OR THREE HEATING ZONES WITHIN THE DIE. AS PULTRUDED PRODUCTS BECOME MORE COMPLICATED IN SHAPE AND MATERIALS PROCESSING, MORE SOPHISTICATED PROCESS CONTROL IS REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE HIGH-QUALITY HARDWARE AND INCREASE MANUFACTURING PRODUCIBILITY. A COMPLEX MISSILE AIRFRAME SHAPE TO BE PULTRUDED OUT OF THERMOPLASTIC MATRIX COMPOSITE MATERIALS WAS SELECTED AS THE BASELINE PROBLEM FOR A COMPUTERIZED PULTRUSION DATA ACQUISITION AND CONTROL (PDAC) SYSTEM. THE REQUIREMENTS, DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND OPERATION OF THE PDAC SYSTEM ARE DESCRIBED ALONG WITH THE MISSILE AIRFRAME PULTRUSION PROGRAM.
