Research Institutes to Develop Lightweight Materials, Production Technologies and Applications. "
Myriad Potential Composites Inndustry Disruptors the Project has achieved, Including:
Development of laser pretreatable
Integration of Three Technologies & Mdash; Reaction Polymer Processing, Laser Processing and Overmolding & Mdash; Into A Single, Fast Cycle Time ManuFacturing Cell;
Horizontal Prepregation Molding (HPCM) Where Materials Are Affixed Vertalth for Processing in A Standard Molding Machine
DEVELOPMENT of A Single Rotating Mold that Integrates All Requirements for Prepregation Molding and thermoplastic Overmolding
Optical Part Reference Methodology for Critical Alignment of Laser Pretreatment and Overmolding Along a Freeform 3D Surface;
DemonStration of this process to product a 3D Structural Portion of the Floor Panel for the BMW i3 Electric Vehicle & RSQUO;
Molded-in Attachment Clips or Bosses for Screws While Simultaneously PROVIDING ISOLATION TO Prevent Galvanic Corrosion Between The Carbon Fiber And Metalic FASTENERE.
Combination technologies, Such as its colorform multi-component injection machine and fiberform hybrid molding machine. "
Variety of Laser-Based Sensors Provided Data for Process Control and Inline Quality Assurance (QA).
of One to Two Minutes.
MOLDING MACHINE WAS ChOSEN AS The Foundation for the Opto-Light ManuoFacturing Cell and Installed at Azl. It features Swivel Platen Technology Development TO ENALEGINENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENATENENENENENENENENENENENENENET
Compound to wet and infiltrate the exposed fibers.
. The system did indeed process was mettle & mdash; test results show a shear stream of 27 MPA BetWeen The GF/PA6 Overmold and Epoxy CFRP Substrate.
Attachment with the thermoplastic overmolding. Three Potential Mechanisms Exist for Between UNCURD EPOXY and PA6:
COVALENT BONDING BETWEEN Reactive Epoxy Rings and Pa AMine Groups;
Hydrogen bonds with amine & rsquo; S Hydrogen as donator and epoxy & rsquo; s oxygen as acceptor;
SEMI-Interpenetrating Networks by Diffusion Effects, POSSIBLE BY HIGH-TEMPARATURITY MOF the PA MOLECular Chains.
of Production is very attractive. "
WAS ACHIEVD BY USING in-Mold Pressure and Temperature Sensors, as if as IN-MOLD DIRECT CURREntivity (DCR) and DIELECTRIC Analysis (DEA).
Instruments (Winterthur, Switzerland) DataFlow Software for Injection Molding Optimization Is Another key component.
Monitoring. The Team is Also Exploring A One-STEP Process in Which Horizontal Prepression Molding is no longer a section process, but is insected the mass
Or after Polymer Processes Inside the Inject Molding Machine, "Explains Schares.
Integrate Electronics Into Finished Products.
Schares. It has also laid the groundwork for thermosetting manufacturers ever disruptive.
