HIGH-VOLUME, HIGH-YIELD OFF-AXIS COMPOSITES FOR AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS Our game-changing automated formatting process can help you optimize your commercial production performance. There’s never been a thermoplastic bias-ply formatting process with greater precision, less material waste, or faster production rates. Our newest innovation, Precision BiasPly™, opens exciting new opportunities for aerospace and space applications that utilize off axis slit tape layups with AFP, wide-width master rolls, laminated blanks, or ply kits.
Lighter-weight airframes Take advantage of the latest aerospace thermoplastic composites and CCM (continuous compression manufacturing) to gain production speed, structural, and cost benefits.
Dramatic waste reduction Custom-width tapes, spools, and pad sets virtually eliminate waste (compared to 30% losses of the past).
Optimal buy-to-fly ratios Higher yields, custom formats, and unmatched quality help you document and deliver on “green aviation” and supplier goals.
Proven at the highest level With more than 11 billion linear feet of thermoset slit tape on board some of the most high-profile projects in the sky, you can rely upon the Web Industries/Omega Systémes team for the “personal touch” that supports real progress.
What is Precision BiasPly? Web Industries’ Precision BiasPly™ process is a patented method of producing advanced bias-ply composites (TCPs) at commercial scale.
1 UD Prepregs are automatically positioned, cut, and seamed to create master rolls at +/- 45° and 90° orientations.
2 Master rolls are precision slit to customerspecified width, spool or pad size, or sheeted to virtually eliminate waste.
3 Incremental slit widths can create superior edge alignment for processes such as CCM opening up new manufacturing options for composite stringers, supports, and beams.
