DAIDO KOGYO CO., LTD.

Highly efficient molding employing roll forming for thermoplastic CFRP material

Technical Classification:
[ Intermediate Products ]
Products:
[ Equipment / Facilities ]
Keyword:
[ continuous molding ] [ long member with uniform cross section ]

Point of the Proposed Technology

・Improves productivity and reduces processing cost by adopting roll forming in place of the conventional pressing

Effect(s)

Cost reduction: at least 20% down (in comparison to pressing)
Molding time: 1 min/m → 0.2 min/m

Conventional Technology

Comparison between roll forming and pressing

・Since the size of the press is limited, this method is not suitable for long members.
・The processing time is long due to batch molding.

New Technology

Comparison between roll forming and pressing

・Roll forming is effective in forming a long member with uniform cross section.
・High productivity because of continuous forming of 5 m/min.

Technology Deployment and Cooperation

Development Stage Prototyping / experimental Stage (to be completed in 2022/12; progress: 80%)
Joint Researchers (their role) Kanazawa Institute of Technology
role: molded parts evaluation/simulation
Example of Application ・Structural members, angle members, channel steels, etc. for civil engineering and construction
・Automotive parts (structural member of truck bed, etc)
Technical Problems ・Low availability of a low-cost long sheet impregnated with thermoplastic resin
Collaborator needed to Improve ・Companies capable of developing a material suitable for roll forming
