HERON AM is Caracol's Large-Format Additive Manufacturing system: a robotized extrusion head, with direct and continuous feeding of composites and polymers, a dedicated software platform for the most complex tool paths, and many more features to fully integrate all that is needed to manufacture advanced industrial parts.
Heron AM can be flexibly integrated in clients’ shop floors with different customizable options. The Engineering team works hand-in-hand with clients’ teams to understand manufacturing needs and the types of applications that one intends to manufacture with their system to define the exact layout, additional features, and define the ideal configuration.
Having developed the platform as a modular integrated hardware and software solution there are a set of key elements which complete the structure. Moreover, the portfolio of Heron AM platforms includes a range of alternative models (e.g., extruders, robotic arms, ...), and it is also possible to include optional features to achieve specific requirements
Range of patented extrusion heads for thermoplastics and composites.
Set up of perimetral barriers or insulated cell for full environmental control.
Software interface for part design, optimization and slicing.
Integrated panel for movement, extrusion, and temperature control.
Unit for robot, PLC, motion, and safety control.
Automated system for quality and control of material feeding.
Range of sizes for 6-axis manipulator for extrusion head support and movement.
Range of print beds with different features to satisfy production needs.
All components can be customized according to specific manufacturing needs.
