The STAXX COMPACT is robust standalone 16-lane fiber placement machine designed for high volume industrial production. The system is ideally suited for the mass production of small composite parts. It achieves high workpiece quality while minimizing material waste.
It comes with Broetje-Automation´s HMI (Human Machine Interface) SCORE coupled with an automated workpiece loading and unloading system as well as intelligent quality control results in reduced workload, thus decreasing labour cost and cycle times.
The machine allows for integration into a flowline concept connecting multiple stations in order to automate and accelerate the manufacturing process even further.

Rastede, June 2026 – Broetje-Automation, together with its consortium partners 3D.aero GmbH, Boeing, KEBA Industrial Automation, IPMT – Institute for Production Management and ‑Technology and WZL Aachen GmbH, has successfully completed the research project SHILA – “Shim-free assembly of thin-walled aircraft structures” funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). The aim of the project was to develop a fully digitally supported and highly automated process chain that enables precise assembly of large-format, thin-walled CFRP structural components without the previous use of shims.
