Mikrosam is a leading producer of equipment and automation for several composite manufacturing processes: filament winding automation technology, AFP & ATL, and in-house modular prepreg slitting systems. With a strong focus on innovation and customization, Mikrosam provides tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of its clients, enhancing productivity and reducing production costs.
Advanced filament winding automation
Mikrosam continues to lead with automated lines for composite pressure vessels and high-value products. These lines ensure a lower total cost of ownership, high availability, and productivity, with increased throughput and reduced cost per part.
- Robot and gantry automated handling
- Multi-spindle high-performance automation
- Patented automatic cut and restart system, exchangeable resin bath
- TCON – Top-level automation and manufacturing historian with SCADA integration
As the need for higher capacity in handling increases, Mikrosam introduced an innovative gantry-based multi-axis handling system for composite parts. This is a completely new solution from the conventional robotic systems. Gantry handling is crucial in multi-spindle winding, especially for handling tanks and parts exceeding 1500 liters, where robotic handling cannot be used. It is perfect for heavy loads, long travel distances, or small workspaces
Modular and upgradeable AFP and ATL cells
Mikrosam delivers competitive AFP and ATL solutions, designed for flexibility, ease of use, and scale, allowing you to start with an initial setup that supports your business growth:
- Multi-material AFP and ATL heads
- Proven technology with head exchange system
- Robotic, gantry, or hybrid configurations
- Leading capability for thermoplastics
In-house prepreg slitting and rewinding machine with the highest precision
Mikrosam offers some of the most innovative and scalable machines for slitting composite prepregs to different widths and form factors, combined with an inspection system for traceability and detecting errors. The return on investment (ROI) with Mikrosam’s slitting machines is in 12 to 18 months. Further improvements and modularity of the system make it an excellent solution for the growing use of slit prepregs.
Upgradeable towpreg production lines
Mikrosam’s customized solution for in-house towpreg production reduces the total production cost, resolves many logistics-related questions, and provides higher process and material quality control. Customers have a lot of benefits, such as accurate calibration of towpreg resin content, cost savings, and the ability to produce a range of towpreg widths.
