Contour tape layer
Low-rail gantry Charger™ contour tape layer will produce wings, horizontal stabilizers and central wing boxes for COMAC Shanghai Aircraft commercial passenger jets. The automated tape layer deposits composite tape at industry-leading speeds, while achieving aerospace grade placement accuracies on complex contours. Charger series machines lay 75, 150 or 300 mm (3, 6 or 12 inches) carbon/epoxy tape with any orientation and number of plies, over tool surfaces with contours, flats and changing geometries, producing consistent quality, part shape, thickness and strength. MAG-designed controls and software make the multi-axis movements easy to program and control.
