COMPOSITES: A NEW ROBOTIC PLATFORM OFFERING UNRIVALED PERFORMANCES

The composite market has been growing rapidly for many years. The aerospace industry in particular is participating in this growth by using more and more carbon-based composites to lighten aircraft structures (with weight savings of 25 to 30%) and thus limit their fuel consumption.


Fives, wich is already recognized for its automated tape laying and fiber placement solutions, Fives goes one step further with its new Cincinnati Robotic Viper® platform. Its unrivaled performance in terms of cycle time and quality of composite fiber placement ALLOW MANUFACTURERS TO INCREASE THEIR PRODUCTIVITY. Fives has secured its first order from a major player in the development of next generation composite technologies.

Cincinnati Robotic Viper®, the next generation automated solution for composites fiber placement

Designed to automate applications that were previously laid up by hand, the Cincinnati Robotic Viper® is suitable for manufacturing internal and external parts with various sizes and complex shapes. Thanks to an innovative robotic fiber placement head and the state-of-the art In-Process Inspection capability for real-time quality analysis without stopping the production line, it combines flexibility, accuracy and speed.
