Selecting the engine power while the dry winding of the composite material

Abstract

Products made by winding of composite materials are very prevalent in different industries. The product range is expanding and the quality requirements are constantly growing. The quality characteristics of future products are greatly dependent on the properties of the tension control system. The settings and type of the controller and tensioners drive power determine the system operation. Typically, the choice of motor takes into account only the specified maximum tension of the composite tape and does not consider some specific features of the wound product. However, while winding of complex geometric shape products, dynamic torques cause an additional heating of the engine. This article describe the technique of tensioners drive power selection. This technique considers winding features of composite products having complex shape. The products are qualified by form depending on the dynamic torque when winding the product
