Cord Reinforcement Technology

TANIQ - Optimised Cord Reinforcement

TANIQ is specialized in the design of cord reinforcement structures for rubber products. For optimal reinforcement of (rubber) products TANIQ uses design principles for lightweight engineering from the Aerospace industry (TANIQ is a spin-off from Aerospace Faculty of Delft Univeristy of Technology). TANIQ strives to optimize the use of the cords by calculating their optimal path trajectories (e.g. geodesic path) and accurately placing them on those trajectories using industrial robots.

TANIQ - Multi-layer Reinforcement Optimisation

TANIQ specializes in optimizing multi-layer reinforcement structures for rubber products. The company has developed algorithms and FEA models to address challenges in activating all layers, particularly for stiff materials like aramids. By applying optimal cord winding angles through robotic winding processes, TANIQ achieves efficient reinforcement with higher working pressures. The technology involves precise winding for proper adhesion and coverage, helping reduce reinforcement material usage by up to 70%. TANIQ's advancements also cover large diameter hoses and expansion joints, focusing on burst pressures and material efficiency. For expansion joints, the company uses automated production and optimized structures, reducing needed reinforcement layers. TANIQ has developed software to design integral reinforcement for complex shapes, and a FEM toolbox for further optimization. The company continues to innovate in material reduction and production speed, offering specialized solutions for reinforced rubber products.
