Modular 3D Fiber Lay-up Equipment for Hydrogen Component Manufacturing - SAMBA Series

Cevotec GmbH

Automated Fiber Patch Placement (FPP) for dome reinforcement
Direct placement of reinforcement patches onto tank liners
Compatible with filament winding processes (wet or towpreg)
Modular system architecture (feeding, cutting, placement, control modules)
Sensor-controlled process with in-process quality monitoring
Automated robot programming via ARTIST STUDIO software

The SAMBA Series is a modular Fiber Patch Placement (FPP) automation platform designed for the production of composite pressure vessels used in hydrogen storage. The system enables automated placement of reinforcement patches directly onto the liner of composite tanks, specifically targeting dome regions to improve structural performance and material efficiency. By integrating with conventional filament winding processes, SAMBA systems enable optimized laminate structures for hydrogen tanks, reducing carbon fiber consumption while maintaining required mechanical performance. The platform supports scalable industrial production and is compatible with a wide range of tank geometries and material systems. The system is part of a broader manufacturing solution including CAD/CAM software (ARTIST STUDIO) and process development support, enabling automated design, simulation, and production of reinforced composite hydrogen tanks.

Use Cases

Manufacturing of composite pressure vessels (COPVs) for hydrogen storage
Dome reinforcement of Type III and Type IV hydrogen tanks
Production of high-pressure hydrogen tanks (e.g., 350 bar / 700 bar systems)

Capabilities

Automated placement of carbon fiber patches on complex dome geometries
Parallel processing (patching and winding) to improve production efficiency
Support for multiple fiber materials and tape configurations
Offline programming and simulation using digital twin (ARTIST STUDIO)
In-process quality control and monitoring of placement parameters
Customizable system configurations for different tank sizes and geometries

Cevotec GmbH Cevotec GmbH develops advanced automation solutions for composite manufacturing, specializing in Fiber Patch Placement technology for producing high-performance structures such as hydrogen storage tanks. The company provides integrated systems, software, and engineering services to enable efficient, scalable production of complex composite components.
