The Fibre Placement Process
Automatically places multiple individual prepreg tows onto a mandrel at high speed, using a numerically controlled, articulating robotic placement head to dispense, clamp, cut and restart as many as 32 tows simultaneously. Machines are available with dual mandrel stations to increase productivity.
Advantages of fibre placement include:
- Processing speed
- Reduced material scrap
- Labour costs
- Parts consolidation
- Improved part-to-part uniformity
Often used to produce large thermoset parts with complex shapes.
