Point of the Proposed Technology

・Owing to the application of sheet winding process, fibers can be laminated at a desired angle of 0°, 90° or 45°,resulting in the substantial increase in productivity and strength.

Effect(s)

Shortening of forming time: 20%
Cost reduction: 20%

Conventional Technology

(i) Manual winding process
Mass production is difficult and unevenness in quality occurred.
(ii) In the filament winding method, carbon fibers are reciprocated at 45º. Therefore, it is difficult to control the strength by the direction of fiber during lamination.

New Technology

・In the prepreg sheet winding method, fibers can be laminated at a desired angle of 0º to 90º, and it is possible to control the strength by application.

Technology Deployment and Cooperation

Development Stage Prototyping / experimental Stage (to be completed in 0/0; progress: 0%)
Joint Researchers (their role) Ehime University (analysis/assessment)
Example of Application Aircraft, automobile, medical apparatus and leisure parts (under development)
Technical Problems Various carbon pipes having shapes of round, triangle, square, hexagon and so on. Long-length deformed pipe and speciallydesigned
honeycomb structure are also under study.
Collaborator needed to Improve Related companies requiring honeycomb structure, long-length deformed pipe or the like.
