Traditonal Filament Winding:
In the fialment winding process, continuous strands of resin-impregnated glass fiber are wound under tension onto a mandrel in precise geometric patterns to build up the part which is then cured to form the finished parts.
Continuous Filament Winding:
Multiple laminate layers, composed of resin, reinforcement glass and other materials are applied to a rotating mandrel, which is formed from a continuous steel band continuously traveling in a cork-screw motion. The composite part is heated and cured in place as the mandrel travels through the line and then cut into a specific length with a traveling cut-off saw.
