The ESEA Noodle Former is a specialized high-speed system designed to produce precision Radius Fillers (Noodles) from 305 mm wide unidirectional plies.
Essential for ensuring the structural integrity of complex airframes, this machine automates the creation of the “critical core” required for high performance composite joints.
Engineered for the demands of drone mass production, it combines multi-shape versatility with record-breaking cycle times:
- Multi-Design Versatility: Integrated tooling to produce multiple custom noodle designs on a single machine, allowing for rapid reconfiguration between different aerostructure projects.
- Large-Scale Capability: Optimized for parts up to 13 meters in length (customizable for different lengths),
covering the needs of even the largest drone wing and fuselage sections. - Industrial Throughput: Capable of producing a finished part in just 2.5 minutes, ensuring the production line maintains peak efficiency without
bottlenecks. - Precision Sectioning: Guarantees a consistent cross-section, providing the exact geometry required for perfect structural bonding and optimized weight control.
By transforming a traditionally complex manual task into an automated, high-speed process, the Noodle Former ensures that the “DNA” of your aerostructure is flawless and ready for flight.
