Components are manufactured by winding wet fibres onto a rotating former core.
A dry fibre strand is pulled through a resin bath at a defined tension and
guided onto the rotating former core by a feed eye, creating the required laminate structure.
The feed eye can be swivelled around, or moved along, several axes as required.
Main characteristics and advantages of winding:
high percentage fibre by volume (approx. 60 %)
optimal utilisation of the fibre properties through highy accurate placement
the high degree of automation in the winding process guarantees excellent reproducibility of final component properties
manufacture of complex components, due to great flexibility in winding core geometries
hybrid structures may be wound by combining different reinforcing fibres (CF/AF/GF etc.)
