Rotterdam, the Netherlands – TANIQ, the Dutch engineering company that pioneered robotic automation for reinforced rubber and composite manufacturing, is marking its 20th anniversary.

Founded in 2006 as a spin-off from the Aerospace Faculty of Delft University of Technology, TANIQ began with the ambition to apply engineering and automation principles to solve complex design and manufacturing challenges in the rubber industry. Twenty years later, this has resulted in a unique technology platform, combining inhouse developed CAD/CAM software TaniqWind, with robotic systems. These systems are designed for rubber winding, filament winding and Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), providing automated manufacturing solutions for reinforced rubber and composite products.

“When we started, many reinforced rubber products like dredging hoses, air springs and pipe-plugs, were fiber-reinforced by manually applying fabric sheets. We saw an opportunity to optimize these fiber constructions using aerospace engineering principles and automate the process with fiber winding machines. Although the industry was using CNC machines, we believed robots would offer more capabilities and flexibility. That was the start of our robotic winding technology,” says Sören Blomaard, co-founder and director of TANIQ. He adds: “Working together with clients, we extended robotic winding to materials including rubber, tape, and metal wire. This meant we could automate the application of all the different materials used in their composite products. After 20 years of developing robotic winding technology, in recent years we have seen the industry shift toward demand for more advanced automation using robots.”
