The PrePro 3D tape placement and winding applicator is available as modular tool with decentral control system and HMI (including closed-loop control of energy input into the processing zone) for the “plug-in” implementation in existing robot systems or machine systems by standard interfaces for the communication with the master control system. Conbility provides the single applicator as well as turn-key ready systems including the robot and handling systems.

The PrePro 3D head is based on 25 years of development work at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT, Aachen, Germany) regarding laser-assisted tape processing with in-situ consolidation.
