Complex performance capabilities

  • Braiding and reinforcement of single and multi-layer preforms with circular cross-section and conical profile of various diameters, thickness and length
  • Braiding of hollow complex preforms with tailored parameters: area of tool coverage and angle between fibers direction and tool axis
  • Manufacturing of multilayer preforms with rectangular cross-section and conical profile
  • Radial braiding of carbon, glass and aramid fibers on a curvilinear tool with variable cross-section fixed in robot clamps
  • Multilayer braiding due to multiple feed of the tool into braiding area
  • Braiding with tailored parameters: area of tool coverage and angle between fibers direction and tool axis
  • Braiding of carbon sleeves with constant cross-section
  • Braiding of plane multiaxial fabric
  • Transversal stitching of multilayer preforms along bicurvature surfaces
  • Manufacturing of multilayer complex cylindrical preforms with further tufting
  • Joining of separate parts of subpreforms (e.g. stringers and skin) into a single preform using blindstitching
  • Additional transversal reinforcement of complex preforms from carbon, glass and organic materials with aramid fibers
  • Single-sided transversal stitching using aramid fibers for local reinforcement of complex preforms
  • Single-sided transversal stitching of complex multilayer preforms along curvilinear path to form folding lines
  • Single-sided transversal stitching of complex multilayer preforms with aramid fibers to create continuous local compaction areas for direction of resin flow within transfer molding processes
