Automated Fiber Placement

In composite processing, fiber placement is the crucial process that ensures good component processing at the highest level. Our composite family STAXX combines flexibility in component manufacturing not only in terms of component complexity but also in terms of materials. Broetje-Automation is one of few machine builders able to process materials with different properties. This makes production more cost effective and efficient without taking up more space in the production hall. Up to 16 tracks can be processed simultaneously without compromising quality.
