Wind Blades: Automated line for undirectional fiber deposition and ancillary operations

Processing deposition speeds up to 600 Kg/hour |
Full capability on traditional molds double female configuration |
Same technique is applied for spars and other sub components |
Easy and fast re loading of the creel is applied |
Ingersoll Machine Tools transfer its huge aerospace experience on AFPM machines (fiber placement) into the future of longest wind blade construction. Application of Unidirectional tows of pre preg material allows the designers to reach the best strain control and the use of Carbon fiber with no scrap and optimization. The consistency and low impact environmental of the CNC gantry system are the natural application of decades of gantry machines experience from Ingersoll. A variety of ancillary equipment are possible to be integrated on the same travelling gantry structure.
