Machine Control McClean Anderson's Flexwind machine control system is a PC based system that makes filament winding simpler, faster and more accurate. Since the system is PC-based, users can develop and edit programs right at the control with Composite Designer part development software - even while winding! 
Software
McClean Anderson's Composite Designer is an advanced offline
software programming tool used for designing and modeling complex
filament wound structures. During part program development, winding
simulations can be rendered with ease, allowing  the users to analyze a
multitude of winding senarios in a matter of seconds.

Finish
Durable epoxy-based paint. Standard color is Blue and Safety Yellow.

Electrical
3Ø - 480V - 60Hz - 50A. Other power can be accommodated.
NEMA 12 rated enclosures.
McClean Anderson has developed the ability to wind from a different perspective with the GMP or Gantry Motion Platform. The GMP can be configured with up to 6-axes of computer controlled motion and employ all digital AC servo technology. The GMP is driven by the Flexwind machine control and can be interfaced with our Composite Designer pattern development software.
  • Standard Configuration: 1-spindle, 4-axis.
  • Expandable Modular Carriage Bed design.
  • Low Maintenance.
