fibre placement
Tape laying and fibre placement:
complementary solutions
Since 1984, Forest-Liné has been developing a broad range of automatic tape-laying and fibre-placement systems. These technologies are intended mainly for the aerospace sector, which uses carbon-fibre-reinforced thermoset composites for the most part.
Tape laying/Fibre placement advantages and drawbacks Tape laying fibre placement
Advantages and drawbacks
Since then, Forest-Liné has continuously improved the carbon-fibre prepreg layup technology, and now offers the Atlas/Access V2 tape-laying solution and the Atlas FP fibre-placement system. The tape-laying and fibre-placement technologies are compared in the chart below. The basic factors to consider when choosing the most appropriate technology for a carbon composite laminate, according to its complexity and

orest-Liné has a long experience in the manufacture of composite parts, having started its development in 1982 through the acquisition and integration of Goldsworthy Engineering (Torrance, USA). Goldsworthy was already ahead of its time in the area of advanced composite technology. The first machines dedicated to the manufacture of composite structures were delivered to Aerospatiale and Dassault.

Two-phase tape laying
Forest-Liné’s tape layer is dedicated to layup only: complex courses are precut off-line, and scrap is discarded off-line on a separate Access machine. The Atlas lay-up head has two spools, one for 12-inch tape for high productivity with simple tape courses, and one for 6-inch tape with complex precut courses. The full 6-axis movement of the head allows a constant angle of the tape with the lay-up tool, for highly accurate positioning of the tapes on any contoured surface. Off-line cutting avoids any slowdown or stopping of the tape layer for cutting or removing scrap. High productivity (three times that of standard tape layers) is also achieved though automatic lap/gap measurement, video control of pre-cut tapes, supervision of
