| Résumé : |
Press manufacturer Wickert currently sees four trends in system engineering. These include the increased use of automation solutions for gains in productivity and additional injection units for flexible, broad-scoped manufacturing. The machine manufacturer also anticipates a future rise in thermoplastic processing as well as growth potential in the use of natural fibers and natural resins. |
| Note de contenu : |
- Increasing demand for automation solutions
- Flexible all-round press for series production of structural components
- Greatest possible versatility thanks to additional modules
- Thermoplastic composites for mass production are on the rise
- Natural fibers have a lot of potential given adequate customer acceptance
- Fig. 1 : Composite press for research: for scientists at the Chemnitz University of Technology, Wickert developed a highly flexible four-column upper piston press which offers a high level of freedom and diversity in application
- Fig. 2 : The scientists are able to automate the processes at any time as required. For this purpose, Wickert installed robot handling and integrated a number of additional interfaces in the machine control system
- Fig. 3 : Organo sheets are turned into 3D components at the research institute Neue Materialien Bayreuth (NMB): composite press for high-performance thermoplastics with processing temperatures of up to 450 °C |
