Installation at NIAR’s ATLAS facility will drive new R&D opportunities for U.S. customers and interested parties, further establish fiber patch placement for composites manufacturing on an international level.

Japan-based Fuji Industries has exclusive rights to sell Cevotec products in the region, including Fiber Patch Placement composites automation technology.

A system first with two six-axis robots for tool manipulation and patch placement, increasing the capabilities to process larger, more complex part geometries for composite aerostructure applications.

Germany-based university intends to use Cevotec’s FPP-based Samba Step system for field research of ceramic fiber composites.

Joint R&D project results show 7 times improvement in layup rates, reduced material deployment and development of novel layup features when using FPP for aerospace production.

Cevotec’s cevoTape carbon fiber tape for automated placement processes is now commercially available.

The new system will open multiple options for evaluation and development based on Fiber Patch Placement technology, including material characterizations, application and process development, prototyping and testing.

Cevotec and Coriolis Composites will contribute their own fiber placement and automation technologies to the FPC facility, which recently celebrated its one-year anniversary.

Installation of the automated Fiber Patch Placement system in Fraunhofer IGCV’s Fiber Placement Center serves active technology and application development.

New features enable increased efficiency for curved structures using biaxial and quasi-isotropic laminates.
