THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATED LAYING:FROM THE BEGINNING TO OUR DAYS (review) Part 3. Comparison of ATL and AFP technologies. Hybrid technology of ATL/AFP
Automated tape laying (ATL) has found application in the production of simple parts: wing skins and flaps, vertical and horizontal tail panels. For laying out, tapes with a width of 75; 150 and 300 mm are used. Automated fiber placement (AFP) is used to produce complex structures with great visuals: fuselage and other contour structures. For laying, bundles with a width of 3,2; 6,35 and 12,7 mm are used. Presents a comparison of ATL and AFP equipment, including robotic hybrids ATL/AFP-machines.
