Filament Windig Machines Accuracy Range

[alleak]

Hi;
I Want to know what is the range of filament winding machines accuracy in fiber angles and layer thichness,for example +-0.01 deg ,+-0.01 mm or more.
Thank You Very Much

Filament winding machines are not designed to anywhere close to those accuracies. First filament winding machines reverse direction and the angle vary base on how the filament lay. The layer thickness is based on the thickness of the filament, the application tension, the resin and the shape being wound.

Why do you need this info? What are you trying to do?

Hi BillPSU ;
I am working on optimization of filament wound pressure vessels.since the design variables are the angle and the thickness of layers i want to know their ranges.
Thanks

The angle will be based on the accuracy with which the rotation of the mandrel is controlled and the traverse rate of the head. Unless the two moving parts are tied together using stepping motors/sensors you will be depending on the the machine settings and repeatability.
