Cadfil® Elbow Winding
Quickly Generate full winding paths both helical and hoop
for pipe bends!

The CADFIL® Elbow winding software can be purchased as
part of the Cadfil-Axsym package or as a stand-alone
module. In either case all the advanced graphics features of
the Cadfil package are available for displaying machine
positions and viewing winding paths. Cadfil software
operates on standard PC hardware using Windows
Software.
Programming could not be easier! The user enters data
such as the pipe diameter bend radius, fibre bandwidth,
wind angle etc. The data is saved as a file and can be
recalled and modified at will. The mandrel surface
definition & full coverage winding patterns are then
automatically created.

The path is then post-processed to generate machine
control data. Numerous control options can be set
dependant on the axes available on the machine.
Different speed control options can be set to reduce
winding time or limit axis accelerations. The software
calculates the winding time. Modules for out-putting
data for Finite Element Analysis can also be supplied.

Cadfil is supplied configured for the customer’s winding
machine. Cadfil can be supplied with multiple machine
configurations, the user just selects which machine to
use. Cadfil can be configured for 2 to 6 axes and for all
filament winding machines types and control systems.
