Preferred process for irregular shapes
Advantages
Feed is always in the same place (ease of use)
Fiber tension is uniform at all points on the mandrel, contributing to the uniform quality of the laminate across the entire part.
The mandrel is easily accessible for fiber removal, as there are no clamps on the rear part.
The process is suitable for highly complex mandrel shapes (T-pieces, elbows, parts with asymmetrical rotation).
Applications
All composites vessels
From Type II to V
Tubes
Defense, Space, Leisure, Aircraft
Complexe shape
Thanks to the use of robot flexibility, various shapes can be studied by our experts
