QSP ® Compact direct layup: composite multi-thickness preform production PINETTE PEI. developed the QSP ® Compact direct layup 1300, a standard unit allowing customers to benefit from QSP technology & advantages while drastically reducing the required Capex. This compact unit allows to manufacture 2D+ multi-thickness preforms with thermoplastic matrices in a one minute cycle time. It can be easily integrated in QSP ® turnkey production line. QSP ® COMPACT DIRECT LAYUP & QSP ® PROCESS The QSP Compact Direct Layup 1300 merges the first two steps of the QSP Process in a compact unit. It allows to produce 2D+ multi-thickness preforms resulting from the combination of patch cutting and laying, the first two steps of the QSP ® process. RAW MATERIALS Regarding raw materials, the QSP Compact direct layup 1300 can work with Organo sheets or multi-width tapes from carbon fibers, glass fibers and all thermoplastics resins. Thanks to cutting units and high speed robotic systems, patches are cut, transferred, placed and welded in order to manufacture a 2D+ multi-thickness preform. PINETTE P.E.I. and its partner, the CETIM research centre can support you all along the project from part development to industrialization including ply book definition & process simulations. This standard machine can be customized to better fit with client’s needs. The design of this composites preform manufacturing machine makes transport and handling easier. In addition, it allows many configurations including the integration in a QSP ® full line.
