The site
The location of Fuveau comprises a research department and a workshop of
2500 m². The firm is organised around a quality insurance management plan
stemming from aeronautics and approved by Veritas office.
Men
ATV real strength lies in men who make up its teams. ATV workforce has a
big experience in composite works, enriched by numerous products
developments in various fields (wind turbine, sailing and industry). The
recognised competence of these men is kept up by training seances, and some
student trainees regularly come to complete their training within the team.
The great competence of these men lets them train our customers during
several transfers of technology abroad.

The research department
The research department takes responsibility for the design of parts and
tools, the improvement of the manufacturing process, the follow-up of the
products quality, and the certification reports, particularly for the wind
turbine blades.
The research department is equipped with a CAD (computer-aided design)
software and a calculation software specially developed by the ONERA (
aeronautics research and study national office) which allows to carry out
the structural design of the blades.

The Workshop
The firm owns the modern equipment enticing the production of blades in
series, under optimum quality conditions : we distinguish 2 separate
workshops, one for stratification, and an other one for the finishing. The
workshops are equipped with ventilation, underfloor heating, constant
temperature, the heating of moulds by hot water and vacuum circuits.
A pre-impregnation machine facilitates the production of prepreg from
dry fabrics, or directly from coils of fibre and resin.
A polystyrene cutting machine, 2 * 2 axis, enables the company to
manufacture cores, with the geometry of the pieces produced, what is
necessary for the One Shot
process.
Two pneumatic presses and one hydraulic press put moulds under pressure
during the One Shot manufacturing process, and are used for the mid size
products ranging from 2 to 6 meters long.
Blade Testing
The constant testing of our products lets us run static tests on wind
turbine blades. Our test bench can receive blades up to 29 meters long.
