Point of the Proposed Technology

Solving issues with the thermal press forming in conventional CFRP carbon fiber composite material
By maximizing the press capacity of 【Mold H & C temperature control system: GMS】and【4-axis direct-acting digitalservo press: ZENFormer】, our company has developed a mass production forming system that enables highquality/high cycle forming. We introduce the superiority supported by formability evaluation.

Effect(s)

・Improvement of forming quality
・Improvement in productivity by high cycle
・Strengthen of cost competitiveness
・Integration of forming data combined with IoT
