👀 SAMBA in Rolling Motion 🦾 🚀 One goal of the grant-supported project ACoSaLUS was to further optimize our patch placement process. In order to implement an end-to-end automated lay-up process for #composite sandwich parts, we have further developed our #FiberPatchPlacement technology during this joint project and are able to place first skin patches directly onto the strongly curved tool. ⚡ We optimized our placement process with a post-placement push by our gripper for additional compaction of the patch on the complex surface. This feature solves first-layer adhesion problems and allows automating the production with #FPP for legacy tools. 💡 Additionally, we enhanced our Rolling Motion movement of the robot. Rolling Motion is a movement of the 6-axis robot to place patches precisely on highly complex, convex shaped surfaces. The movement of the placement robot follows a curve with a different normal for each point of the curve. To support this accurate placement, our gripper has been improved as well and now features enhanced vacuum & blow off controls. Take a look at the project demonstrator production with our #FPP SAMBA Step L system 👇 ...and if you want to know more about #FiberPatchPlacement and how it can be used to automate the production of sandwich parts, meet us at CAMX - The Composites and Advanced Materials Expo next week in Atlanta! 👋 #automation #manufacturingtechnology #carbonfiber #innovation

What a month. Bursting with remarkable achievements and breakthrough moments, September has set a new benchmark for us at Cevotec We had the pleasure of hosting Archie Wride from the UK’s National Composites Centre to witness the manufacturing of the second demonstrator of a fairing component using Fiber Patch Placement (FPP) technology and reclaimed waste material. This visit provided valuable insights into FPP's ARTIST STUDIO software and hardware aspects, further strengthening the relationship between Cevotec and NCC. We’re thrilled to support NCC’s FPP waste utilization study showcasing how FPP efficiently repurposes dry carbon fiber waste into precise patch laminates, supporting the production of high-performance, sustainable #aerospace components. Looking forward to the exciting journey ahead. #FPP #FiberPatchPlacement #reducewaste #Sustainability #milestonesincomposites

At the beginning of August, FUJI INDUSTRIES CO. LIMITED visited our offices and our project partner manroland web produktionsgesellschaft mbH to learn more about the current project status of the SAMBA Pro PV system which will be shipped to Japan. SAMBA Pro PV is based on the fully automated Fiber Patch Placement system, and designed to place fiber patches directly on domes of composite tanks to reduce material, weight and manufacturing costs while increasing storage volume for advanced H2 tank production. We are looking forward to the first SAMBA Pro PV installation in Japan. #FiberPatchPlacement #SAMBA #H2tank #composites #automation #japan Christian Fleischfresser, Seiji Suzuki, Kazuaki Washizu, Tomás Giesecke, Anil Mertol

UK’s National Composites Centre NCC demonstrated how #FiberPatchPlacement can recycle up to 80% of dry fiber material from the earliest stages of high-performance #composite production in #aerospace manufacturing. Cevotec supported NCC in converting dry carbon #fiber waste into a precise patch laminate using our ARTIST STUDIO software for sustainable secondary feedstock to produce high-performance components. As aerospace shifts to higher production rates and improved sustainability, NCC anticipates a significant potential that #FPP can reduce manufacturing waste and automate the production of complex 3D shapes, multi-material laminates, and #lightweight reinforcements. We are looking forward to the next steps of the project, read more ➡ https://lnkd.in/eBVT36_i #ImproveBuy2Fly #sustainability #reclaimFibres #reduceWaste #MilestonesInComposites

Last week we also were at Farnborough International Airshow, the leading show of the global aerospace industry. Special thanks to our partner Fuji Industries Corp for exhibiting our #FiberPatchPlacement solutions for composites. When it comes to production processes for upcoming aerostructure programs, manufacturers and engineers on site mainly addressed the automation of multi-material composites, scalability of production processes and the reduction of cut-offs. For current aircraft programs, the industry still relies heavily on parts that are produced manually at high production costs and with limited scalability. ❓How to accelerate existing aerostructures towards the above mentioned challenges? ➡ You can improve the production process by increasing the lay-up speed for composites with automated fiber patch placement. Together with GKN Aerospace, SGL Carbon, Technische Universität München (Chair of Carbon Composites) and Technische Hochschule Augsburg (Research Group Composites for Lightweight Structures), we have demonstrated the potential of a 7-fold increase in lay-up speed with our Fiber Patch Placement system for sandwich composites, here a horizontal tailplane fairing. https://lnkd.in/dHxVz75D #aerospace #FPP #composites #aerostructure #sandwich #automation #production Takuma Okamoto, Seiji Suzuki, Anil Mertol, Hanae Moroi, Hinakoto Takenashi at Farnborough International Airshow
