The four-axis X-Winder 4X-23 features a radial, or cross-feed, axis set perpendicular to the travel of the horizontal carriage and a rotating fiber application head mounted to that cross-feed axis. Until now, such machines have been the size of a school bus, and very expensive. But Turner Hunt, founder of Cincinnati-based X-Winder, says that this latest model of the X-Winder, along with a newly upgraded 2-axis model 2X-23, lets fabricators build carbon fiber parts and tailor them to specific applications -- at a fraction of commercial prices.
