Automatic fiber placement machine Mongoose Hybrid™

for composites

A comprehensive and versatile multi-process platform for the manufacturing and inspection of complex geometry composite parts Mongoose Hybrid™ is the latest evolution of Ingersoll Machine Tools iconic AFPM first released in 2009. Mongoose Hybrid™ is a multipurpose center for composites manufacturing that complements the original Mongoose™ fiber placement unique capabilities with a complete array of additional modules that let you also tape lay, trim, inspect, 3D-print and mill. These multiple configurations are automatically exchanged and operated to increase the quality and the productivity of your layup process. Mongoose Hybrid™ can fiber-place, tape-lay and inspect a wide variety of carbon fibers materials from the most common to the most challenging including epoxies, BMI, thermoplastics, carbon fiber, glass fiber, and more. Mongoose Hybrid™‘s size and configuration can be easily tailored and optimized to fit your process and meet your end-user needs. Configuration: 4 to 32 parallel tows (1/8”, 1/4”, or 1/2” wide) Multiple modules automatically exchanged: fiber place tape laying trimming automated inspection Siemens 840 D and Sinumerik One CNCs Programming, simulation, optimization, and diagnostics performed through Ingersoll proprietary software Sectors: Space Aerospace Naval Automotive
