Mechanical press RTM series

RTM formingprocessfor composite materials

RTM resin transfer molding and HP-RTM high-pressure resin transfer molding are industrial production processes used to produce structural composite parts with very high mechanical properties. Thanks to its expertise as a supplier of machinery for thermoforming composites and its collaborative approach to innovation, PINETTE PEI offers RTM and HP-RTM presses and fully automated production lines. RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING RTM: HIGH-SPEED PRODUCTION CELL PINETTE PEI in partnership with the German technical center DLR, has built a high-speed RTM production cell to manufacture carbon fibers and epoxy resin parts for automotive and aerospace applications, using the resin transfer molding process. This robotized island has been designed to improve the yields of this process and make it a more credible alternative to the production methods currently used. This fully-automated production line is capable of producing up to 100,000 parts a year, and comprises : Injection unit Tools Heated and cooled platens Group / Integrated heating unit Movable top table for tool loading Specially designed tooling thermics to optimize heat transfer Automated transfer cart Guaranteed temperature uniformity up to 300°C thanks to continuous tool temperature control 6-axis robot IN TOUCH supervision software with full traceability of parameters and data This high-speed production line has been designed to guarantee safe, ergonomic access to the various modules. The cell also complies with international and regional design and safety standards. PINETTE PEI also offers a remote maintenance modem to quickly deal with any problems and speed up the return to full production.
