Description

Automated Tape Wrapping System UT-Battelle (UTB), operating contractor for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), seeks supplier sources to enable equipping and commissioning an Automated Tape Wrapping system to support composite perform production needs. ORNL aims to enhance its prototype capabilities through the implementation of this equipment, which will facilitate the efficient and precise laying of woven prepregged carbon fiber tape in our composite fabrication processes. The system must be capable of laying woven, prepegged carbon fiber tape up to 12 inches wide. It is essential that the system accommodates varying tape thicknesses while maintaining consistent tension and pressure throughout the layup process. The system must be able to deposit tape around complex geometries, particularly flat arches with an inner radius of 9 inches. The equipment should provide the necessary precision and flexibility to navigate these shapes without compromising the quality of the fiber architecture. The Automated Tape Wrapping system should enable programmable controls, including but not limited to, precise tape placement, adjustable layup angle, temperature control, roller pressure, tension, and feeding speed. Integration with computer-aided design (CAD) software for generating and modifying complex layup patterns is also desired. In addition, comprehensive on-site installation support is required as part of the procurement process. The selected vendor shall collaborate closely with personnel at UTB to ensure proper system integration and full compliance with operational standards. Detailed information on the system's maintenance protocols, including component accessibility and the availability of spare parts is requested. Additionally, comprehensive training must be provided to UTB personnel to ensure effective operation and maintenance of the equipment, enabling the in-house team to manage the system independently and efficiently.
