The wide range (high-speed range, in particular) molding speed makes it possible to respond to various resin material characteristics. In addition, a molding data logging system facilitates the grasp of the equipment’s movement in the molding range, and it is possible to study the molding conditions promptly .
Effect(s)
Speedup: twice or more
The molding data can be promptly checked on the operation screen.
Conventional Technology
Expansion of the speed range of the CFRP molding pressing
1) The molding speed range of the usual pressing machine was approximately 0.1 mm/s to 20 mm/s.
2) Data logging was performed with a system (PC) separate from the equipment side.
New Technology
Expansion of the speed range of the CFRP molding pressing
1) By the wide molding speed range of the pressing machine ,to 80 mm/s from 0.05 mm/s, the molding conditions for various base resins can be set.
2)By checking (on the operation screen) the equipment’s movement using the data logging function on the operation screen, it can be promptly compared with the intended molding conditions.
No joint research was conducted.
The hydraulic and control systems are both products with the company’s own technology.
Example of Application
Automobile parts, aircraft parts
Technical Problems
If the molding speed range is expanded (speedup, in particular), large energy will be required in the high-speed range. It is necessary to achieve appropriate energy and cost effectiveness to avoid excessive specifications through studying the equipment’s specifications (e.g., speed, stroke) by grasping details of the actual molding.
Collaborator needed to Improve
Information exchange with molders and material manufacturers
