WINTERSTEIGER solutions for composite materials

Industrial processing of composite materials calls for maximum precision and process reliability. WINTERSTEIGER combines the band saw technology of HEMA with extensive materials expertise. This enables composite materials such as CFRP, GFRP, or sandwich structures to be processed in a controlled, reproducible, and cost-effective manner – even for demanding applications in aviation, the automotive sector, and the wind power industry.

Precise cutting of composite materials

The modern band saw technology enables material-friendly splitting of composite materials. Narrow kerfs and low-vibration cutting processes reduce delamination and prevent fiber breakout, which is particularly crucial when processing high-quality components.
