Tape placement systems of AFPT/Koelrit are developed to produce high-quality thermoplastic composites by welding fibre reinforced thermoplastic tapes.

Advantages of AFPT/KOELRIT tape placement systems:

• fully automated and clean production
• high product quality and secure process-repeatability
• integration with material handling systems

AFPT/Koelrit delivers universal or special designed manufacturing cells:

• winding tapes on mandrels, producing pressure vessels and tanks, seals, drive shafts, bearings etc.
• placing tapes on moulds, forming flat and bended products or reinforcing preproduced parts.

Typical applications:

• were high strenght is required in combination with low weights: aerospace and automotive industry
• were very high pressures (>100 bar) are requested: tanks and cylinders for special applications
