Accudyne Systems Installs Double Omega Stringer Former

Accudyne recently installed an Automated Stringer Former for converting flat laminates into double omega stringer sections for the Airbus A350.  The custom machine accepts laminates produced from unidirectional tape and/or woven fabric. The stringers are made using a specialized process involving heating, forming, and cooling cycles.  The total process takes less than two hours to produce a stringer. Accudyne has experience forming both single and double-omega stringer profiles up to 457 mm (18 inches) wide and 70 feet (21.3 meters) long.
