Challenge
- Production process for the manufacture of an RTM fiber composite series component
Solution
- The process is divided into engineering, TFP preforming, RTM injection system and resin system
- The injection process is automated using a robot, which couples the static mixer tube with the tempered mold via a check valve. Once the required quantity of resin has been dispensed, the curing process takes just a few minutes
- Use of the check valve means that the mixing head is available for further injection processes immediately after filling the mold
Result
- Manufacture of RTM series components in very short cycles
- High system availability as a result of the robot-guided coupling to the check valve
- Thanks to the fast coupling/uncoupling of the mixer tube at the check valve by the robot, the installation of a process line with multiple molds can be implemented as an automated overall process chain for large batch sizes
