Fives Receives Excellence In Composites Manufacturing Award from SME
June 1, 2016
Fives received the Excellence in Composites Manufacturing Award at the Society of Manufacturing Engineers' (SME) annual Composites Manufacturing event. Fives won in the Large Company category for its lines of composites machine tool technology, including the Cincinnati VIPER fiber placement system, the Cincinnati CHARGER taper layer system and the Cincinnati GEMINI ATL/AFB system. These systems use advanced composites technology to produce complex parts or near-net shape, and are specifically designed to produce the fastest lay-up rates in the industry while maintaining superior reliability.
"The products and systems of the Fives Cincinnati brand have influenced and promoted the use of advanced composites materials by the aerospace industry, in both military and commercial sectors," said a company spokesperson.
The Composites Manufacturing Tech Group - part of SME's Plastics, Composites and Coatings Community - was created to recognize valuable contributions within the composites manufacturing industry and acknowledge the valuable roles that both large and small manufacturers play within the industry.
The awards ceremony wraps up the three-day AeroDef Manufacturing with Composites Manufacturing 2016 conference and exhibit. There to accept the award was Robert Harper, Technical Sales Director at Fives.
