Accudyne recently installed an Automated Stringer Former for converting flat laminates into stringer sections for the Airbus A350. The custom machine accepts flats 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 18 inches (457 mm) wide and 70 feet (21.3 meters) long.
