WET PRESSING LINE
Economical production of lightweight compnents
For large-area and rather flat components, the matrix material (resin) is applied directly to the textile. A preform process is therefore not needed - a very economical solution for producing lightweight components.
The concept
The individual cut parts are supplied to the system in special transport frames. Depending on the application, these can be fiberglass or carbon-fiber materials.
To improve the physical properties of these components, appropriate additives are brought to bear.
Once resin has been applied to the knit, the forming process is carried out in a forming press. The form is then stabilized in a cooling press. Machining and inspection processes complete the production line.
Throughout the manufacturing process, the controller collects all the production-relevant data and transfers it to a higher-level control system.
