Performance and Productivity enhancing Advanced Winding Technologies at JEC World 2024
02 / 02 / 24At JEC World 2024 (March 5-7), Compo Tech PLUS, spol. s r.o (Hall 6, G85) will be showcasing its proprietary carbon fibre (CF) placement, integrated loop and automated fibre winding and laying technologies. Key to this is the ‘true zero degree’ axial fibre placement capabilities, which provides significant benefits over traditional ‘near zero’ winding.
CompoTech’s unique winding and placement technologies use a combination of both PAN (polyacrylonitrile) and continuous UHM (ultra-high modulus) pitch fibres. Using its in-house developed automated fibre laying (AFL) technology, fibres are precisely positioned to provide the lightweight, high strength and stiffness needed to successfully use a carbon composite instead of a metal component in applications such as automated robot lines, materials handling and telescopic lifting systems, as well industrial machine gantry beams.
CompoTech’s technical advantage in axial fibre placement and CF component design is enabling the company to continue forging a strong niche market leadership position in growing new composite applications. A recent example of epoxy CF beam applications develop by CompoTech, which showcase the use of its proprietary axial AFL and advanced winding technologies is a new precision cutting machine carbon gantry axis beam.
CompoTech is growing its automated advanced winding machine business, which supplies custom made ‘turnkey’ automated fibre winding machines, which come with the company’s proprietary continuous fibre AFL and integrated loop joint technologies. A recent new automated machine customer is Czech Republic based Meopta – optika, s.r.o. (a Carlyle Group company) which ordered a new advanced winding machine from CompoTech to manufacture optical components developed by CompoTech, as well as axis beams for silicon chip optical measurement machines.
JEC World 2024 visitors to the CompoTech stand will be able to find out more about the company’s automated manufacturing offering and the ongoing R & D projects with universities OEMs and Tier 1 specialist producers looking for CF components for next generation energy storage, aviation, HGV and mass transportation applications.
The knowledge and expertise gained by CompoTech from successful process development projects and the production of dynamic automation manufacturing systems is transferrable across a wide cross-section of industries including aerospace defence, agriculture, automotive, transport, bicycles, and leisure marine.
