Improving production efficiency for isotropic matrix by automatic lamination of thermoplastic prepreg
- Technical Classification:
- [ Intermediate Products ]
- Products:
- [ Equipment / Facilities ] [ Service ]
- Keyword:
- [ Automation ] [ mass production ] [ quality stabilization ]
Point of the Proposed Technology
・Achieving mass production by automatic production of Quasi isotropic intermediate sheets which were mainly made manually.
Effect(s)
・Efficient productivity
・Stabilization of quality
・Stabilization of quality
Conventional Technology
・Cutting and laminating prepreg manually
・Quality variation and productivity difference among workers
・With the existing laminating machine (patent information), it is difficult to respond to change in lamination angle or sequence
