Technical Classification:
[ Intermediate Products ]
Products:
[ Equipment / Facilities ]
Keyword:
[ Realizing the mass production lay-up process for the prepreg sheet ]

Point of the Proposed Technology

1. Thanks to accurate lay-up quality by the auto lay-up machine, finished parts quality can be improved and stabilized compare with hand-lay-up process.
2. Manpower saving and higher productivity can be achieved by adopting full-automated processing system.
3. As a research equipment, quantitative testing which was not available with hand lay-up method can be achieved.

Effect(s)

More than 80% running cost saving
(compared to the manual processing)

Conventional Technology

New Technology

Technology Deployment and Cooperation

Development Stage
Commercialization Completed (already delivered: yes)
Intellectual Property Right
Yes
Joint Researchers (their role)
Example of Application
・CF prepreg process of aircraft structural parts and automobile structure materials as well as exterior sheet parts.
・Slit processing for new materials such as highly-functional film
Technical Problems
Depending on the lay-up pattern, material waste may be generated, but it can be minimized by an optimization of the tape width. Forfurther material waste saving, we have been addressing machine development.
Collaborator needed to Improve
CFRP product manufactures, companies with knowledge in material processing, research institutes such asuniversities, etc.
