Filament Winding Machines
Filament winding is a process of winding composite fibers and resin around a shape(mandrel) for the manufacture of composite structures such as pressure vessels, pipe lines, Type 3 and 4 gas cylinders (CNG, LPG, hydrogen), rocket motor casings, and helicopter blades. Mikrosam’s filament winding machines wind continuous fibers, either previously impregnated with a matrix material or impregnated during winding, onto a rotating mandrel in a precise, predetermined pattern. By choosing Mikrosam, you will be partnering with the premier manufacturer of filament winders in the world. They have over 35 years of experience in the development of these types of machines and have innovative features such as automatic cut and add of fibers, full automated material handling, tensioned creel systems and many other features that ensure maximum uptime, productivity and first pass quality. Their systems include their own part design and winding programming software compatible with any CAD system. The machines also come with a full manufacturing process historian. These and many other features are unique to Mikrosam. Call us today to find out how we can increase your manufacturing profitability!
