CHARGER Tape Layers
MAG Cincinnati’s CHARGER Series includes both Contour and Flat
Tape Layers available in High Rail, Low Rail and Bed Type configurations to
meet production and facility requirements.
New Contour Tape Head
Recently re-engineered for easier set-up and operation, the new contour
tape head contributes to the machines, higher total throughput. The head
allows faster, simpler side-loading of tape rolls up to 300 mm (12 in.) wide
and 650 mm (25.6 in.) diameter. Common hardware permits lay-up of
75 mm (3 in.), 150 mm (6 in.) and 300 mm (12 in.) wide tape with minimal
changeover time. The advanced head design also features integrated ultrasonic
laminate cutting, cutter depth-setting assistance, and dockable inkjet
marking for maximum system flexibility and performance.
CHARGER Bed-Type Contour Tape Layers achieve up to 25 degree
contours while delivering 50 m/min. (2000 ipm) lay-up rate. The machines
feature MAG Cincinnati’s newest generation tape head which is the market’s
most productive and consistent at compacting layers of carbon/epoxy
tape.
CHARGER Flat Tape Layers are excellent for high productivity lay-up
of large laminates that are then cut into smaller pieces and drape formed.
These machines feature programmable compaction force and optional
vacuum lay-up/cutting tables and ultrasonic laminate cutting enabling
superior quality and performance.
New tape head accommodates fast loading via open sided supply reel
and is capable of laying wrinkle-free 300 mm (12 in.) tape on contours
.
High mold clearance design provides superior conformance and compaction
on ramps and joggles
Segmented shoe allows tape laying with minimum use of roller for less
risk of contamination
