- [ Minimizing cycle time of lay-up process by using axial UD roll ]
Point of the Proposed Technology
1. Prepregs are continuously laid up on a carrier sheet such as backing paper, and the laid-up prepregs are wound into a roll form to manufacture a single-ply axial UD roll.
2. Prepregs are laid up in multiple layers at the required angles, and the laid-up prepregs are wound into a roll form to manufacture a multi-ply/multi-axial UD roll.
3. Use of angle UD rolls in the lay-up process allows a simplified lay-up of angle layers.
