Cygnet Texkimp (Cheshire, U.K.) is highlighting its prepreg machinery and associated fiber processing technologies for the aerospace, automotive, industrial and energy industries.
The company will emphasize the reliability and speed of its prepreg technologies, which it attributes to four decades of engineering expertise and product development. Its prepreg machines have been engineered to perform with high levels of consistency and output, to deliver prepreg materials of optimum quality, weight and thickness.
The company will also feature its range of associated technologies including fiber unwinding creels, spreading, coating and laminating machines. These range from a high-tolerance, reverse-roll coating machine capable of creating low coat weight films of less than 5 gsm for the aerospace-quality prepreg market, to a high-volume, self-calibrating Flatline creel with patented tensioning mechanism.
