Multi-Axis Winder

Advanced FRP applications are one of the fastest growing areas of the thermoset plastics industry, with filament winding leading the way, and M.V.P. has been engineering some of the industry’s leading filament winding systems for over 20 years. Our staff of talented engineers and designers, who are experienced with equipment for specialized fiber reinforced plastics projects, make M.V.P. one of the best sources of knowledge anywhere on reinforced thermoset processing methods. M.V.P. has taken the best ideas the industry has to offer on Advanced FRP, and improved upon them.

Magnum Venus Plastech began in filament winding with the most comprehensive line of winding capability with the Versa-Wind line of products. Foremost among its benefits is its ability to grow with your operation, allowing you to start small and add on as your output needs match your growing business. Among many benefits, our ability to tie the pumping system and winding operations into one single control package adds a level of versatility not found in other products.

And now, Magnum Venus Plastech has taken filament winding to the next level with the introduction of the Multi-Wind · Multi-Axis Filament Winding System.

The M.V.P. Multi-Wind Filament Winder joins the Versa-Wind family of Filament Winders, taking the next step from the computer controlled 2-axis Ultra-Winder to a modular multi-axis winding control system. The Multi-Wind features the ability to wind up to 6 axes at one time, a control system that can adapt to multiple machine configurations, the option to add a second mandrel unit and multiple spindles, the ability to manufacture parts from 20-inches in diameter to 60-inches in diameter, and much more.

The Multi-Wind is ideal if your are manufacturing:

• Compressed air tanks
  
• High-pressure CO2 tanks and bottles
• Water softener systems
  
• Rescue air tanks
• Sail boat masts
  
• Compressed Natural Gas tanks
• Defense/Aerospace systems
  
• Lightpoles
• And any other product requiring the added strength provided by multi-axis winding
