PREPREG CUTTING MACHINE (LECTRA INC.)

Prepreg Cutting Machine (Lectra Inc.)

Facility Name: Fully automated tape cutting NC machine

For composite fabrication it is required to cut the prepregs, carbon fabrics etc. based on the structural design. Fully automated tape cutting NC machine used to cut fabrics, prepregs and cloths etc. The key features of the machine are optimal material usage by using nesting software, different shapes/profiles of prepregs/fabrics can be cut with required orientations.

It is equipped with standard features such as

  • Synchronised conveyor advance with spreading tables
  • Variable vacuum for a better material hold
  • Eclipse system allows to cut the prepregs/fabrics during conveyor advance to cut continuous length
  • Effective dust control with energy saver mode by regulating turbine power and eliminating peaks in electrical current and
  • Post Print device that identifies cut pieces using self-adhesive labels and user friendly access for easy preliminary maintenance.

 

The prepregs/fabrics can be cut with the accuracy of ±0.4mm. The effective utilization of this machine in the division for fabricating Composite components for both LCA and SARAS leads time and manpower saving, effective utilization of material with accuracy.
