TFP Technology specializes in an innovative type of near-net-shape fiber laying using CNC embroidery machines.
With this technology, different types of fibers, such as carbon, aramid, glass or natural fibers, are precisely placed and stitched onto carrier materials. This technology enables the production of composite materials and semi-finished products in large quantities and with exact reproducibility – from prototypes to individual and serial production.
Tailored fiber placement (TFP) optimizes the fiber orientation according to the force curves and enables tailor-made reinforcement of composite materials. The targeted fiber placement leads to an optimization of the mechanical properties and enables a more efficient use of material. TFP is particularly advantageous for applications that require a combination of lightness, strength and precision, such as in the aerospace and automotive industries.
Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) is a technology for manufacturing semi-finished textile products from fiber strands. Alternatively, this process is also known as roving laying.
Our CNC embroidery machines lay fiber strands (also known as rovings) made of carbon, glass fiber, aramid and other fibers onto flexible carrier materials.
We align the fiber orientation individually to the force curves in your product.
Between stitches, the embroidery machines move the carrier material and embroider the fibers in the optimum fiber orientation.
We can also easily integrate functional threads for sensors, wires or heating strands or heating conductors in any shape into your fiber preforms during fiber laying.
High Volume TFP (HV-TFP) is a further development of fiber laying in which two fiber strands are placed simultaneously. This doubles the laying rate with the same number of stitches and enables shorter running times. In addition, the HV-TFP process allows two different fiber types to be laid simultaneously, for example carbon fiber together with glass fiber.
HV-TFP combines the advantages of precise fiber placement with faster and more efficient production.
No matter what challenge you are currently facing with your product or component, let us work together to find a way to achieve optimum reinforcement.
State-of-the-art laser cutting systems and CNC cutters ensure optimum and efficient cutting of the manufactured elements. Our ultra-modern and precise cutting units are supported by advanced camera systems and bring specific advantages for your products.
The laser cut welds the edges and prevents the technical textiles from fraying or unraveling.
The CNC cutter is better suited for more heat-sensitive fabrics. It cuts the semi-finished products mechanically and does not subject the material to any thermal stress.
With our wide range of cutting technologies, we can react flexibly to a wide variety of materials. Whether it’s conventional fiber textiles, films, composite materials with self-adhesive film laminated by us or special high-performance textiles – our systems are equipped for every challenge.
