Drum Winding Machine / Fiber Placement Drum Winder

The TT-Y-GP (500~1800)-(300~1200) drum winding machine is a dedicated device designed for small-batch, multi-variety prepreg preparation. The complete system consists of creel unwinding, fiber spreading, impregnation bath, squeeze rolls, traversing, winding drum, and electrical control units. The machine spreads continuous fibers, impregnates them with resin, and precisely places them onto the rotating drum surface at set intervals, forming unidirectional fiber prepreg sheets. It is particularly suitable for R&D institutes, material laboratories, universities, and similar environments for new material development, process validation, and small-batch prepreg sample production.

·Applicable Fibers: Carbon fiber, glass fiber, aramid fiber, basalt fiber, etc.
·Applicable Resins: Epoxy resin, phenolic resin, etc.
·Drum Width: 500 – 1800 mm
·Drum Diameter: 300 – 1200 mm
·Fiber Spacing Range: 0.1 – 40 mm (accuracy ±0.025 mm)
·Heating Methods: Thermal oil, electric heating
·Application Fields: Small-batch prepreg production, material R&D & validation, process trials

·High-Precision Placement
Dual-servo system controls drum rotation speed and traversing unit. Traversing pitch and drum speed are easily set via the HMI with one-click programming. Spacing accuracy of ±0.025 mm ensures uniform fiber distribution, meeting high-precision prepreg requirements.
·Constant Tension Unwinding
Fiber unwinding uses magnetic powder brake for automatic constant tension control, ensuring stable tension during placement and avoiding defects caused by tension fluctuations.
·Adjustable Squeeze Roll Unit
Flexibly adjustable for different fiber types (carbon, glass, etc.), accommodating various material placement needs.
·Constant-Temperature Impregnation System
Equipped with a temperature-controlled resin bath that can be set according to different resin systems, ensuring proper resin fluidity and wetting performance for diverse resin formulations.
·Flexible Cutting Design
The drum features straight and spiral groove patterns for easy cutting in different ways, adapting to varied production requirements.
·Easy Operation
All placement parameters are set via the HMI with one-click operation, high automation reduces manual adjustment time.
·Ideal for Small-Batch, Multi-Variety Production
Compared to continuous prepreg lines, this drum winder offers quick changeover and material savings, making it perfect for formula trials, process validation, and small-order production.
