Flashlamp based thermoplastic Automated Fiber Placement (F-AFP)
Structures and Design: Reseach for Automated Production Technology at the Bauweisen-Kolloquium 2018.
The ZLP site at Augsburg
At its Augsburg site, the ZLP focuses on thermoset matrix composite materials made of dry fibre semi-finished products, infusion resin systems, as well as thermoplastic matrix composites. Other key areas are production-integrated quality assurance and the corresponding mechatronics and robotics. The Multifunctional Cell robotic research platform (Multifunktionale Zelle; MFZ), the only one of its kind inEurope, enables research to be carried out on an industrial scale.
Resistance welding – The Institute at JEC World 2019 in Paris
Since the welding process has a high automation potential, it is well suited for efficient series production. In addition to resistance welding (picture), ultrasonic welding is currently being industrialized as a suitable joining technique at the Institute of Structures and Construction Technology.Contact
