CFRTP UD Tape Automatic Angle-Oriented Stacking and Laminating System
Automated equipment that converts unidirectional CFRTP tape into arbitrary fiber-angle preform sheets and stacks them into multi-orientation laminates ready for consolidation.
Problem solved
Manual layup of UD tape for complex fiber architectures is slow, inconsistent and costly for low-to-medium volume production of high-performance thermoplastic composites.
Application contexts
- aerospace structural components
- automotive lightweight parts
- high-performance industrial equipment
Technical principle
Tape cutting at programmable angles, thermal joining of tape segments into oriented sheets, robotic/automated stacking with ultrasonic spot welding for preform integrity prior to hot pressing.
Typical use cases
- Production of tailored fiber placement preforms for CFRTP parts
