Some products are manufactured by processing prepregs.
To increase productivity and make the operator’s job easier, we have designed a machine specifically for this process.
This machine is supplied with a lower shuttle table and two lower mold halves. The upper half-mold is mounted in a fixed position on the central part of the machine. When the upper mold half descends onto the lower mold half, the thermal curing cycle can begin.
Meanwhile, the operator can remove the finished parts from the mold, carry out cleaning checks, and place the prepreg in the lower mold cavity(ies).
As a result, all the preparatory work is done in parallel to part production time improving overall efficiency.
When the press opens, the table simply shifts to start a new cycle.
