Accudyne Systems ships Automated Radius Filler for B787

Accudyne Systems ships Automated Radius Filler for B787

Accudyne delivered an Automated Radius Filler Former (Noodle Former) for filling the gap in Boeing 787 wing stringers. The machine produces five different cross-sections using a single ply of unidirectional carbon prepreg. It can run prepreg in widths of 6, 12 or 18 inch (152.4, 304.8 or 457.2 mm). Each part is up to 23.3 ft (7.1 meters) long with cross sections up to .090 sq. in (58.1 sq. mm). The process takes less than three minutes to produce each part from start to finish. The Radius Filler replaces a labor intensive, hand lay-up process. Machines with additional cross-sections and variable section geometry are also available.
