The Laser Heater operates at temperatures up to 200℃, offering precise, non-contact heating ideal for thermoset and thermoplastic materials. Positioned for direct fiber heating, it allows fine-tuned thermal management, ensuring consistent bonding and enhancing material strength and durability in AFP processes.

The Flash Lamp Heater provides rapid, localized heating critical for thermoplastic processing, effectively supporting high-speed AFP operations. Positioned near the fiber laydown area, it delivers controlled bursts of heat to optimize fiber adhesion without compromising material integrity, suitable for high-demand layup scenarios.

Our dedicated thermal camera accessory ensures high-quality AFP processing through real-time monitoring. Mounted directly on the AFP system with adjustable positioning, it captures detailed thermal data to enhance quality control and seamlessly integrates with the system for precise heating management.

Addcomposites provides high-quality layup tables in various sizes, with patterned holes for accurate positioning of molds and plates, including heated options . The hole pattern is replicated in the path planning software, enabling precise recognition of mold and plate locations for accurate

The Laser Line Scanner, optimally positioned in the AFP process, captures precise point cloud data. This data, processed through Addcomposites' proprietary computer vision model, enables real-time identification of gap/overlap defects during layup. Users have full access to the raw data, ensuring transparency. The advanced model ensures top-notch defect detection, elevating the AFP process's quality.

Our water-cooled compaction roller is designed for enhanced durability during high-temperature AFP operations, providing precise cooling control in thermoplastic layups. This minimizes roller aging and reduces the risk of impurities from prolonged exposure to heat, ensuring optimal layup quality and extended roller life.
