CHARGER Tape Layers NEW Small Flat Tape Layer MAG Cincinnati now offers a new, entry-level tape layer. This newest member of the CHARGER Series is designed and built to migrate proven modules and technologies from our larger composites products to an affordable, right-sized, yet extremely productive new platform. The Small Flat Tape Layer with its simplified, but versatile tape head and integral vacuum lay-up table is well-suited for new users that are making the transition from hand lay-up as well as for those users that are already experienced in automated lamination. Expanded Product Range To meet the demand for utilizing composite materials for long structural parts such as stringers, spars and beams MAG Cincinnati has expanded its tape layer product range to include a new platform, the Flat Charge Laminator. The Flat Charge Laminator is designed specifically to optimize processing of these long, narrow parts by accommodating ATL grade prepreg material up to 300 mm (12 in.) in width while utilizing high-capacity laminating heads in combination with a heavy-duty support structure for carriage and segmented vacuum table. The multi-headed design can lay prepreg unidirectional tape, prepreg woven fabric, and film/foil in the same variable thickness laminate. The unit is equipped with features designed for fast, error-free production Typical Tape Layer Applications , Wing skins , Control surfaces such as flaps, ailerons, elevators and rudders , Structural components such as stringers, spars, beams and shear ties , Horizontal and vertical stabilizers , Fuselage panels , Fairings , Satellite antenna panels , Bulkhead 06 | 07
VIPER ® Fiber Placement Systems MAG Cincinnati VIPER ® Fiber Placement Systems are the most versatile and advanced composites manufacturing equipment in production today. The VIPER ® platform of machines combines the advantages of tape laying and filament winding with advanced computer control and software to achieve unmatched production capabilities for a wide variety of complex composites parts. Offered in a variety of sizes, 1200, 4000 and 6000, VIPER ® Fiber Placement Systems are designed for dexterity and flexibility for production of wrinkle-free lay-up of convex and concave parts. These highly productive machines are equipped with patented features to produce superior quality while dramatically reducing scrap. These patented features include: , Segmented Compaction Roller offers superior compaction on core and tight radii contour surface features , Bi-directional Tensioners located in the creel enclosure maintain precise tension control of each tow as well as monitor the individual pay-out of each , Re-direct Roller Systems reduces the likelihood of twisted tows by maintaining a flat fiber band , Individual Tow Cut-Clamp-Restart adds versatility by adjusting the width of the fiber band by adding or cutting individual tows on-the-fly Get the VIPER ® Advantage With 7 axes of motion, VIPER ® Fiber Placement Systems are particularly suited to highly contoured structures. High contour, variable wall thickness, and cut-out sections are all produced to near net configuration which significantly reduces material waste (as low as 2%) in the initial lay-up and post-process machining operations. VIPER ® Fiber Placement Systems automatically and independently control up to 32 individual tows or slit tape producing a variable bandwidth “on-the-fly”. Each tow can be independently dispensed, clamped, cut and restarted during fiber placement. Gaps and overlaps are minimized as the machine precisely lays interior or exterior contoured boundaries. The VIPER ® ’s advanced design delivers other key advantages to automated production including maintaining constant angle on a complex surface, in-process compaction of material and no limits to ply orientations. Individual Tows (x32) 3.2 mm (0.125 in.) 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) Collimated Fiber Band 102 mm (4 in.) 205 mm (8 in.) 406 mm (16 in.)
