The Fiber Patch Placement systems of the SAMBA Series are your flexible, automated production platforms for challenging fiber lay-ups.
Fully automated and programmed with ARTIST STUDIO software and equipped with a fast-mounting tool interface, SAMBA systems act as your economical production platform for a variety of parts.
Customized to your part size and materials
Highly scalable. It is additive manufacturing in “sensible increments”, depending on your component. We implement FPP technology with small patches of 20 mm x 40 mm up to large patches of 200 mm x 300 mm and beyond..
SAMBA Series platforms work with a range of different dry-fiber and thermoset prepreg materials of all major material suppliers, covering areal weights of 80 gsm to 300 gsm and beyond.
Speak to us for an individual implementation of Fiber Patch Placement. Together with our Partner Baumann Automation, we provide turnkey production lines in any dimension you require.
Fiber Patch Placement is a very scalable and flexible technology. Based on three key modules for feeding and cutting, placement, and mold manipulation, we tailor SAMBA Series systems to your requirements
All modules can be flexibly combined.
Modules for tape feeding and cutting differ according materials processed.Up to 4 parallel tapes with different materials in feeding unit possible. Ultrasonic or laser cutting. Customizations upon request.
Feeding and cutting units are adapted to a range of suitable materials according to applications.
Placement modules individually designed to fit specific applications. Standard robots: Stäubli, Kuka. Additional brands on request. Linear axis for extended reach optional.
Placement units can be flexibility combined with feeding and cutting Units.
Options with standardized quick-mount tooling systems available for flexible production settings. Tool holders and manipulators are specific to each application and can be exchanged on each system.
Tool manipulators specific to components – quick-mount tooling options for flexible production available.
Continuous process & quality control with a multitude of integrated sensor for key process parameters.
Objective: Replace individual unit tests by continuous process monitoring.
