Equipment in Augsburg

	Cutting center To support highly automated pick and drape processes of large aerospace structures, a cutting center has been installed in the ZLP. Various materials such as dry fiber or thermoplastic fabrics can be either cut sequencially or to minimize the cutting waste.

	Inline quality assurance cell (IQZ) The production of high-performance lightweight structures requires full control over material and production process. Inline-capable methods of quality assurance are increasingly in focus. The IQZ quality assurance cell enables process development, adaptation and testing to be carried out directly on an industrial robot.

	Multifunktionale Zelle (MFZ) Die Forschung rund um Produktionsprozesse im Bereich der Leichtbaustrukturen wird künftig zunehmend durch die Automatisierung geprägt. Das DLR Zentrum für Leichtbauproduktionstechnologie in Augsburg befasst sich mit allen Schritten der Produktion von Leichtbaustrukturen.

Furnace Facilities

For the development of CMC materials and structural parts, various high temperature furnaces for pyrolysis, graphitization and siliconization are used. Thereby, a wide range of different facilities from small laboratory furnaces, for material research, up to large systems with 900 mm x 900 mm x 900 mm furnace room, for the manufacture of CMC prototypes in original geometry are available.

	Facility Technology Evaluation Cell (TEZ) The Technology Evaluation Cell (TEZ) consists of two Kuka Quantec KR210 R3100 robots mounted on a common eight-meter linear axis. In addition, the system has sufficient space to carry out experiments with large tools.
More

	Thermoplast Cell (TPZ) The DLR Centre for Lightweight Production Technology in Augsburg features an integrated robotic work cell - the so-called TPZ - for the investigation of the production technologies of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites.
More

	Water Jet Cutting Facility To the reaping of special materials, like fiber reinforced composite, ceramics, foam, hybrid layered materials from metal and non-metallic materials, the reaping with high-pressure jet of water up to 6000 bar with pure water or with abrasive water jet has become a standard procedure.
