Lower costs in CFRP
parts production

Multisector

Cannon announces the recent development and supply of a
complete, automatic turnkey line for its innovative “Liquid
Lay-down” process. This process is an up-coming alternative to RTM technology for carbon-fibre-reinforced automotive
parts.
The optimization
of the process,
through the integration of three
anthropomorphic
robots to obtain
a fully-automatic
line, was aimed
to achieve a low
part-to-part cycle
time. This, combined with its intrinsic requirement for a lower
compression force in the part forming phase, which above all
results in a reduced capital investment, positions this process as
a very competitive substitute for traditional HP-RTM in the automotive field, providing a lower part cost to the manufacturer.
Several innovative Cannon technologies are wisely combined in
this solution: from the high-pressure Estrim metering unit and
mixing head, for proper dosing of the two-component epoxy
resin, to a specifically designed air-less distribution die for uniform distribution, with laminar flow, of the resin-hardener mix
directly onto the reinforcement carbon fibre stack outside of
the mould. Alongside these, a large size hot press with accurate
parallelism control (for part forming), and a low-tonnage cold
press (for controlled cooling of parts) have also been designed
and supplied by Cannon.
A stable process with high output and high quality has thus
been developed and successfully installed. www.cannon.com

High-performance recycled
plastic lumber (RPL)

> Booth B02

The PROWASTE Project
intends to promote an innovative industrial process
for the manufacture of highperformance recycled plastic
lumber for urban/outdoor
furniture. The raw material is
mixed plastics waste normally
destined for landfill or energy
recovery. The innovation consists in introducing reinforcing
pultruded rods in the plastic
matrix during the extrusion
process, without any substantial modification of the existing production plant used for
plastic lumber moulding. Compared with unreinforced plastic
lumber, flexural properties are increased by a factor of 3 while
creep compliance is more than one order of magnitude lower
than for unreinforced beams. At the moment, the modified
production system is operated at the plant of Solteco Madera
Plastica, one of the project partners. The PROWASTE solution
is ready to enter into the market. Innovative reinforced plastic
lumber can be used in new applications where mechanical
properties are a fundamental issue, such as pallets or railroad
ties. The increased flexural stiffness also makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the lumber, which means lower costs and
improved aesthetic characteristics. The main economic benefit
for customers is linked to the lower maintenance and replacement costs with respect to traditional materials. Compared to
wood, the cost saving of an RPL landscaping application, like a
bench, ranges from 18% to 32%.

Multifunctional parts made of thermoplastic hybrid yarns

> Booth Y54-4

The Composites department of the Institute of Aircraft Design of the University
of Stuttgart specialises in research topics related to the design and manufacturing of composite parts based on textile structures. Different projects focus on
the whole process chain, from the manufacturing of textile preforms to injection
technology through to the finished component.
A recent project focuses on the processing and development of thermoplastic hybrid
yarns (carbon/PA6, glass/PA6.6). An innovative design and process chain has been
developed in cooperation with Weberit GmbH, IPF Dresden, University Siegen, Tajima GmbH and TIME GmbH. It has been proven and tested successfully, using the
example of a torque supporter for compact cars. Multifunctional parts can be designed using the tailored fibre placement (TFP)
technology in combination with a new grouting and overmoulding process. The grouting tool exactly displays the topography
of the embroidered preforms. The tool topography is derived using a software tool called EDOPunch developed by IPF. Thus, a
constant grouting pressure is guaranteed in every part of the preform and all the fibres stay in their defined positions. This ensures
a maximum weight saving potential and repeatable quality. The production process is very fast due to the short curing time of the
PA6/PA6.6 matrix and addresses medium- to high-volume production. There are also very low cut losses due to TFP near-netshape production.
