Automated Tape Laying (ATL) is an advanced technology that enables production of large thermoplastic composite laminates and near-net-shape products. With continuous ultrasonic welding, FALKO ATL facilitates safe, reliable, and efficient mass production. With a production capacity of up to 350 m2 per hour, FALKO ATL is a groundbreaking innovation in the production of thermoplastic composite parts.

Superior quality laminates for consolidation

FALKO’s technology focuses on addressing the high costs associated with thermoplastic composite applications. By processing unidirectional (UD) tapes into semi-finished products, FALKO eliminates the need for time-consuming steps in consolidation processes. This makes the technology ideal for sectors such as aviation and automotive industries, where weight and strength are crucial factors.

Minimal waste of valuable material

FALKO’s advanced process ensures minimal waste of valuable materials, contributing to cost-efficiency and sustainability. By using angular cutting techniques to cut UD tapes, the FALKO ATL achieves optimal utilization of the composite material. The CAD/CAM software, FalkoCAD, accurately determines the optimal layup strategy.

The highest achievable quality standards

With the integration of FalkoCAD CAD/CAM software, we determine the optimal tape laying strategy. Additionally, the real-time gap and laminate verification system continuously monitor the entire laminate structure, verifying the position of each individual UD tape during production. This guarantees the highest achievable quality standards and gives you full confidence in the end product.
