Case History

Cartesian Automated Tape Laying (ATL) – ADE

ESEA Cartesian ATL platform is engineered to redefine the boundaries of automated layup, combining an extra-large working envelope with an unmatched payload capacity.
Designed for the intensive demands of drone & aerostructure mass production, this machine provides the stability and power needed to handle heavy duty ATL deposition tool, without compromising on micron-level precision and high speed of laying.

The Cartesian architecture ensures maximum rigidity, making it the ideal solution for:

  • Maximized Working Capacity: A massive 3D workspace designed to accommodate large-scale wing skins, fuselage sections, and primary drone aerostructures.
  • Increased Payload Support: Optimized for high-performance deposition heads, allowing for the integration of multiple sensors and high-volume material spools.
  • Superior Dynamic Stability: The robust frame minimizes vibrations, ensuring consistent compaction force even at high speeds and over large surfaces.
  • Scalable Architecture: A modular design that can be customized in length and width to fit the specific footprint of your Smart Factory.

By combining heavy-duty payload capability with the agility of advanced software, Cartesian ATL transforms raw UD tape into structural masterpieces with industrial-grade efficiency.
