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 95 or
higher.
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.
