Large Scale RTM press - 2400tons - 10.500x3.500mm
A newly developed resin transfer molding (RTM) press from Austrian machinery manufacturer Langzauner installed at the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) will slash process time for large components by a factor of 10. Designed for the fabrication of aero-structural parts, the press will advance the center’s Composites at Speed and Scale (Compass) project by reducing process time for large components from approximately 40 hours to just four hours while maintaining quality standards. AMRC’s Compass is reportedly a major boost to UK aerospace research and development using a new, open-access innovation facility that will initially house Boeing’s research project to de-risk and develop high-rate sustainable structures. The press system features an impressive 10,500 x 3,500 mm platen size and delivers unprecedented precision with fully adjustable pressing force up to 2,400 tons. Powered by AI The system is fully integrated with industrial internet of things (IIoT) capabilities, enabling comprehensive data collection for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in factory-scale process optimization. The system’s features, described as revolutionary, include: Press force regulation accuracy of 0.1%; advanced sliding table system accommodating up to 180-ton mold mass; sophisticated plate parallelism control within hundredths of a millimeter; individual cylinder control with active parallelism management; innovative gap injection functionality with two-axis rotation capability.
Short Stroke Press - Multiprocess
Reaching the limits of the physically possible and venturing into the unknown – this was the challenge faced by the Langzauner team when developing a 2600 t short stroke press for the Technology Center Thermoplastic Composites (TTC) of the Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe (IVW). A new era has been initiated in the sector of multiprocess-capable forming presses because of the result of our need to develop components on a 1:1 scale. Highly reactive parallelism control and short control loops Langzauner’s new short stroke press is particularly reactive and achieves results in parallelism control that, in terms of accuracy and frequency, are unique in the marketplace. The highly reactive parallelism control means that it is possible to have direct influence on material properties The uniquely short control loop allows for extraordinary reaction times during the pressing process Thanks to operating rates of 800 mm/s, cycle times are reduced to a minimum and process speeds are maximised Full press force reached in less than 1s Parallelism accuracy of 0.007 mm (7 µm) In order to provide for the necessary control loops at this extraordinary processing speed, we used a CPU supplied by a leading manufacturer. The outstanding process parameters can only be achieved with the help of this CPU.
