Ultra Filament Winder

Helical and chop/hoop winding system designed for pipe to large diameter tank manufacturing

Our programmable Ultra-Winder is one of the most versatile filament winders on the market today. Modularly constructed to grow with your changing production needs, both chop-hoop and helical winding of various pipes and tanks can be performed by this computer-controlled machine.

Designed for maximum ease of use and fast shop floor integration, multiple menus guide operators through the sequential application of materials. You can achieve real savings on every part, every time. Built-in automation reduces labor costs while material monitoring cuts costly waste.

We can customize to meet your production needs. The complete system can include options for applying surface veil; chopped liners; sprayed resin systems; hoop winding strands; helical winding strands; unidirectional tape; woven roving tape; pigmented resin or wax-resin surfaces; gelcoats; epoxy resins; vinyl ester resins and more.

Standard features and options include: chop, spray or wet bath, sand delivery, roll goods applicator, delivery, multiple spindles, collapsible and non collapsible mandrels, dual mandrel drive units, curing and mandrel prep stations, extraction machines, composite saw and calibration machines and more.

Recipe-based and manual controls for either chop/hoop or helical winding applications deliver versatility with consistent accuracy for increased quality on every part produced.
