FibreLINE

A transformative approach to composite aerostructure manufacturing, offering a true step change for the industry.

FibreLINE represents a transformative approach to composite aerostructure manufacturing, offering a true step change for the industry. It is an end-to-end automated preforming system that integrates Zünd’s custom-engineered Q-Line cutter with some of the world’s largest industrial robots. This modular adaptation of the Q-Line cutter provides a scalable, future-proof solution designed to meet the growing demands of the aerospace sector.

FibreLINE delivers faster cutting speeds while significantly reducing stray fibers—a common challenge in composite manufacturing. Its benefits extend beyond precision, offering a marked reduction in factory footprint and logistical complexity. The system also streamlines downstream assembly, saving both time and resources.

By dramatically increasing material deposition rates, FibreLINE allows manufacturers to operate using a single set of mould tools and tolerances, while still achieving next-generation production targets. This approach reduces the need for shimming and simplifies assembly compared with traditional AFP methods, which require multiple sets of mould tools to match FibreLINE'S production rate.

In essence, FibreLINE enables faster, cleaner, and more efficient composite manufacturing, helping aerospace manufacturers meet evolving industry demands with less complexity and greater productivity.
