Airbond Splicers

What is the best splicing method for Carbon Fiber? Manufacturers often ask the reasons between using a Model with Automatic cutting (Model 181) vs using a splicer without cutting (Model 143, 701). An automatic cutting Model works best on yarns <2400 tex, and only gives one splice. The splice strength would be around 60-80%. A splicer without cutting can work on carbon up to 50k, and by making multiple splices you can achieve a splice with 90%+ strength of the parent yarn. This is especially relevant to filament winding and pultrusion processes, where the resin can cause inferior splices to seperate. Finally, as always, accurate pressure is key 🗝️

🌍♻️ Pneumatic Splicing: A Step Towards a Greener Carbon Fiber Industry As the carbon fiber industry continues to grow, the challenge of managing waste becomes more pressing. One practical solution making a difference is pneumatic splicing. By reducing the amount of wasted dry fibers during production, this technology helps us use resources more efficiently and cut down on unnecessary waste. Carbon fiber recycling isn’t just about reusing materials — it’s about lowering carbon emissions too. Recycled carbon fibers generate significantly less CO2, which is a crucial step in achieving carbon neutrality. Innovations like pneumatic splicing can help reduce waste from the start, allowing us to contribute to a more sustainable future across industries like aerospace, automotive, and construction. Small changes in processes like this can have a big impact, pushing the carbon fiber industry toward a cleaner, more responsible way of doing business. Together, we can help close the loop on waste and make meaningful strides toward sustainability. #Sustainability #CarbonFiberRecycling #PneumaticSplicing #CircularEconomy #CarbonNeutral #GreenInnovation

Polyester is one of the most used materials in the textiles industry. Therefore a good splicing solution is one of the best ways we can reduce landfill waste in the industry. The Model 181 can give 90-100% Strength when connecting polyester, with a quick press of the button. #Engineering #textiles #sustainability #composites

How to Splice Wool Using the Model 133: Keen eyes will see that this demonstration is done on a Left-Handed splicer - 3D printing allows us to make ergonomic splicers for every user.

Coatings can make yarns difficult to splice, as they prevent the fibre's intermingling. Our chambers are specially designed to use airflow to give a strong splice on the toughest yarns. Here's a short video on 4 different methods for a strong join. #Sustainability #Manufacturing #Engineering #Textiles #Composites

Our #MJF #3DPrinting manufacturing system has made splicers lighter and more usable than ever. This prototype model is stronger and 33% lighter - which means less strain on the operator, and less CO2 from shipping and manufacturing. Modern fibres need modern solutions.

Why is Splicing Used? Reduced Waste: Traditional knotting methods generate significant yarn waste. Splicing offers a clean and secure joint, minimizing material loss. Improved Efficiency: Knotting interrupts production flow and requires additional labor. Splicing allows for continuous yarn usage, minimizing downtime and boosting productivity. Enhanced Product Quality: Weak knots can compromise product integrity. Spliced joints are strong and reliable, ensuring consistent product quality.

Splicing Kevlar can be a life or death situation. We ensure splices of over 80% strength of the parent yarn. Our specially designed chambers ensure each fibre is fully blended in the joint, for maximum strength and a smooth splice. High performance fibres demand a high performance splicer. #Kevlar #Sustainability #Manufacturing
