Coriolis Composites awarded CSeries contract

Coriolis Composites says it has been awarded a contract by Bombardier Aerospace to supply automated fibre placement robots for the manufacturing of composite parts for the CSeries aft fuselage.

Coriolis has already developed innovative automated fibre placement systems based on robotics for aircraft programmes with other OEMs in Europe. Its understanding of composite production challenges as well as its proven technology were said to be the two key drivers in Bombardier Aerospace's decision to order its fibre placement equipment.

The use of standard robotic components as a basis for fibre placement equipment makes the system economical and flexible with respect to machine tool- based systems. Coriolis' fibre placement robots and simulation software enable it to solve complex manufacturing issues.
