The system will integrate an Automated Ply Placement (APP) cell by Airborne, Automated Preform Trimming by Accudyne Systems, a ply cutter from Assyst Bullmer, and a Hot Drape Former by PAC Group.
Why is the edge sealing process not yet broadly automated?
One of the many tasks which is still manual in aerospace composites is the sealing of trimmed edges. And the companies that are doing it will tell you it’s cumbersome, not a fun job to do, physically strainful and just something you want to automate. So why didn’t it happen yet? This is what we

How to efficiently automate edge sealing
One of the most laborious, manual processes in the composites industry is edge sealing. It’s repetitive, requires a lot of focus, it’s quality sensitive and leads to physical strains for the human worker. Nobody really likes to do this job. So why is not yet automated? Let’s explore a new automated solution that we developed
