To ensure total control over the supply chain, ESEA offers a high-precision Slitting Machine. This system is designed to transform wide UD (Unidirectional) tape into high-quality slit tape, optimized for Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), ATL and specialized layup processes.
By integrating this technology, manufacturers can produce their own calibrated tapes, ensuring:
- Customized Widths: Precision cutting of UD materials into narrow slit tapes with tight tolerances.
- Material Optimization: Minimizing waste and tailoring the material specifically for drone & aerostructures.
- Supply Chain Independence: Reducing lead times by processing raw materials directly within the facility.
- Production Readiness: for immediate use in EFESTO (AFP) or ARES cells.
