2 Modes
COMPACTION + TENSION
04 — ROBOTIC TAPE WINDING
Automated Tape Winding
One robotic platform for compaction-based and tension-based winding — from rapid thermoset pipes to engineered Type V tanks, thermoplastic rotor sleeves, isogrids and non-axisymmetric structures.
Up to 1000 N
TENSION MODE PRETENSION
Laser or humm3
THERMOPLASTIC HEATING
AddPath
ROBOT + POSITIONER MOTION
THE SYSTEM
Two winding modes, one machine
Compaction-based winding enables in-situ thermoplastic consolidation and finite-fiber control. Tension mode raises throughput and pretensions material for tanks, pipes and tubes.
THE GEOMETRY
Beyond a surface of revolution
Stop and restart tapes for selective reinforcement, build isogrids without unnecessary mass, and wind non-axisymmetric shapes with precise fiber orientation under AddPath control.
