Cevotec, a Munich-based German company, is showcasing its next generation of Samba Pro layup systems that specialize in fiber patch placement (FPP) at the Composites Europe 2019 trade show. The company highlights the Samba Pro PV-1 system as the first FPP layup system designed specifically for industrial reinforcement of composite tanks.
Through dome reinforcements and optimized filament winding, pressure vessel OEMs can save 15% of fiber material and related costs while achieving equivalent mechanical properties. The Samba Pro PV-1 system enables dome reinforcements on composite tanks on an industrial scale with optimal layup quality, all in a fully automated process.
Cevotec successfully validated the dome reinforcement solution in an industry project in collaboration with Roth Composite Machinery, Cikoni, and an undisclosed tank manufacturer. At the event, the Cevotec team is displaying a cutout of one of the project vessels, showcasing the first reinforcement layer. Dr. Dimitrios Sikoutris, a technical expert at Cevotec, will present the project results, technical background, and industrial application in a conference presentation titled “Composite tanks innovation: 15% weight reduction by using dome reinforcements in an industrial process” on Wednesday, September 11th from 1:30 – 2:25 p.m. Visitors can also schedule meetings for a live estimation of the cost savings potential for their specific vessels.
In addition to composite tank reinforcement, Cevotec is catering to high-performance composite aerostructures with FPP layup features for multi-material components. Custom functionalities such as post-placement push
