Design and Manufacture of a Tape Winding Capability

The NCC is an independent, open-access national centre that delivers world-class innovation in the design and manufacture of composites and facilitates their widespread industrial exploitation. The National Composites Centre (NCC) intends to procure automated tape winding capability for fully bonded pipes manufacturing. Such equipment must be able to process unidirectional thermoplastic tapes via in-situ consolidation process to manufacture pipe prototypes with inner diameters in the order of 5cm to 20cm and length...
