Résumé : |
Innovative solutions are needed to address future strategies such as resource conservation and energy efficiency. By producing ultra-light honeycomb panels and using atmospheric pressure plasma for surface treatment before painting, a lightweight panel manufacturer from Thuringia supplies high quality components to the commercial vehicle industry. |
Note de contenu : |
- Nature's patents in vehicle construction
- Effective change
- Optimum paint adhesion guaranteed
- Fig. 1 : Inspired by bionics : polypropylene honeycomb panels have high stability and low weight
- Fig. 2 : Modeled on natural atmospheric discharges, this technology generates plasma by high voltage. This means that it can be used for pretreating materials surfaces
- Fig. 3 : Before priming with filler and painting, the large PP sandwich panels at MonoPan are pretreated with atmospheric pressure in a fully automatic process lasting just 20 to 40 seconds
- Fig. 4 : The plasma-treated, pre-painted sandwich panels are used to construct low-weight box bodies for light trucks made by leading automotive manufacturers
- Fig. 5 : 28 Openair-Plasma rotary nozzles carry out the microfine cleaning, static discharging and simultaneous activation of the PP panels. The plasma effect ensures full-surface wettability and significantly increases the adhesive characteristics of the plastic surface
- Fig. 6 : The large-panel plasma unit is designed to be maintenance friendly, so th eplasma nozzles can be raised to the desired height for servicing and accessed quickly via two walkways |
