Composite materials are often the key to lightweight design for many applications. However, these hybrid materials face a major challenge where recycling is concerned.

The experimental components were manufactured in a fully automated SMC manufacturing cell, developed by Engel, with an Engel v-duo 700 machine and an easix KR35 articulated robot

Zero-Waste Concept for Carbon SMC

Tapes must be stacked both with high accuracy and efficiency. In the ongoing development of its tape-stacking cell, Engel places a third focus on simplifying operation. CAD-based tape stacking, which Engel has implemented in a customer’s system for the first time, will play a role here. Further new features are the pyrolysis function for cleaning the welding elements, as well as the modular end-of-arm tooling for handling the semi-finished products.

The new modular end-of-arm tooling of the tape stacking cell increases both the cost effectiveness and the flexibility. The functional elements can be individually positioned thanks to a perforated grid.

Trends in Composite Manufacturing

Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites have also become established with thin-walled housings for consumer electronics and information technology. Not only do they offer high stiffness and help to reduce weight, but also enable the integration of classy appearance and functions. What is more, if the housings are produced using the hybrid molding process, costs, processing steps, and cycle times can be reduced.

Lightweight to Fit in a Pocket

Climate change and the transport revolution are demanding smart fiber-reinforced composite solutions. In sectors such as the marine industry, infrastructure, and rail vehicle construction, many different fire protection concepts are competing. The composites industry is paying increased attention to recycling.

Composites Are Trendsetters in Lightweight Design

The toolmaker Siebenwurst uses injection molding simulation to optimize part design and production processes in its routine workflows. Among other things, Simcon’s software ensures the quality and dimensional accuracy of the plastic frame for the first series-produced injection molded e-bike.

The frames give the e-bikes an extraordinary design, with robustness comparable to steel or aluminum

Thermoplastic tapes are expected to shape the next generation of thermoplastic composites. This calls for highly accurate tape stacking. Engel contributes this technology to achieve a breakthrough by combining high-precision control software with camera technology in tape stacking.

For high production efficiency, a tape stacking unit is best equipped with two robots and one camera station
