“…In industry, they are mainly employed to wind symmetrical shapes such as pipes or pressure vessels in mass production. However, the need to manufacture complex parts with high precision, reduced cost and manufacturing time is resulting in the development of robotic-based winding technologies [51,52]. Moreover, they allow higher speeds, flexibility and can produce parts with better quality than a conventional filament winding machine [48].…”

Filament winding is a well-established process to manufacture composite parts. With the advancement of automation and process control technologies, the winding of dry fibers to manufacture a preform for liquid composite molding (LCM) processes is feasible. This study presents an overview of dry fiber winding and explains the most important process aspects. It addresses the application of differential geometry to the winding technique. The formulation of geodesic and non-geodesic equations and their solution is discussed. Besides, nonanalytical methods to generate winding trajectories are introduced. The influence of the friction coefficient on process-related parameters is covered. Considering technology trends the study gives an overview of developments in winding systems and equipment. Novel research areas can be identified in the development of new path generation methods, considering detailed friction influences. Fiber depositing and guidance systems must also be adapted. Alternations of the process parameters and their influence on subsequent impregnation processes must be investigated.

“…The former has a minimum required DOF, i.e., it is optimized for specific applications [36]. The application of an industrial robot is the typical characteristic of a robotic filament winding complex [39]. Technical and economical comparisons of the filament winders depend on a multitude of factors, with the most prominent being the size of the product being manufactured, configuration of the equipment, and the level of automation.…”

This paper systematically explains the methodology and results of empirical work on the development of a low-cost filament winding technology for manufacturing axisymmetric polymer composite structures with a high length-to-diameter ratio, such as tubes, motor casings, and pressure vessels. The principal objective was to examine the experiences and most optimal practices in the development of computer-controlled equipment and auxiliary tooling for the wet filament-winding process. To preclude expensive commercial software for the automated control of a winding machine, analytical equations were derived for the winding trajectory of a four-axis filament-winding machine. The feasibility of the proposed equations was successfully validated by laying the fiber along the geodesic path marked on the surface of a cylindrical mandrel with hemispherical ends. Moreover, the carbon/epoxy cylindrical casings with hemispherical ends and port openings of the same diameter were wound to determine the thickness distribution in the hemispherical dome. The fiber volume ratio in the wound composite parts was evaluated using an optical technique.
