Overview

FibreKIT is a highly advanced automated solution for handling, storage and kitting of composite plies. It provides optimal material utilisation whilst sorting and sequencing at an exceptionally fast rate. Nested plies of carbon fibre can be picked from the cutting table or conveyor and sorted into discrete kits in reverse lay-up order. Each part of the kit is logged via a RFID system so its position is known. The system can be run fully automated or operator assisted. Portable models are available.

Key features

  • Fully programmable RFID tracking for Kit IDs, missing plies, and ply life data
  • Flat ply storage with 20 drawers, each holding up to 20 kg of material, 20 mm thick
  • Portable models available with simple and highly accurate positioning systems
  • High-contrast to assist camera visioning
  • Safety mechanism allows only one drawer open at a time under manual operation
  • Guiding system ensures repeatable positioning to ±1 mm
  • Rolled ply storage for 1.3 m and 5.0 m widths, each storing 4 rolls up to 235 mm diameter
  • Individual self-aligning pinch arm for each roll to prevent unwanted unravelling
