Base machines are designed to run using CADFIL filament winding software, however they can be programmed in
G-code. They are designed to be as compact as possible to minimise floorspace.
Fibres:
Carbon, Glass and Aramid can be would from static creels to the rear of the machine ( 3m space required).
Towpreg can be head-mounted with mechanical tensioners for even tension control throughout the X-axis movement .
Digitally controller electronic tensioners are required if the creel is to the side of the winder.
We use RED Composites towpreg, which provides a controlled resin content and a clean wind, without any resin mixing, no mess and no clean-down. The material has a 3 month outlife without refrigeration.
