Coriolis Composites (Queven, France) has been selected by the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University (Wichita, KS, US) to provide a thermoplastics capable Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) system. Installation of this equipment will contribute to NIAR’s technology development efforts in the area of three-dimensional thermoplastics automation and will allow NIAR to advance the state of the art in thermoplastics through collaborative projects with industry.
With more than 60 machines installed worldwide, Coriolis Composites is in the business of building robots that build airplanes. Most of these robots are used for rate production of FAA and EASA certified commercial airplanes such as the Airbus A320, A350, and A220 (formerly known as Bombardier’s CSeries).
