Stage Detail
role in the production flow
STAGE 01
Coil feeding
Coil feed system supplying raw fiberglass material to the line. Maintains continuous input rate to the Extension module.
STAGE 02
Material extension
Layer extension across the work surface. Forms the basis of the 4-layer layup.
STAGE 03
Cutting
Cutting operation defining the final shape. The cutting process is where most of the scrap-equivalent material loss originates.
STAGE 04
Stack formation
Stack formation from the four extended layers. Output of the Extension module routed at 82% weight to the main flow.
STAGE 05
Scrap formation
Scrap-equivalent material generated during the four-layer layup. Routed at 18% weight to the Scrap_Sink.
STAGE 06
Horizontal sewing
Horizontal joining pass across the layered stack. Operates only on the useful material flow.
STAGE 07
Vertical sewing
Vertical joining pass, perpendicular to the horizontal pass. Completes the structural binding of the stack.
STAGE 08
Palletising
Final handling and palletising of the finished stack. Output to the Finished_Parts_Sink.
