Forming line QSP ®

Innovation through its R&D department is the heart of Pinette PEI.’s business strategy and represents 30% of its sales revenues. It is often the result of a collaborative approach and as a result our last project, the QSP ® Quilted Stratum Process - rewarded at JEC show in Houston, Texas and Experience Composites in Augsburg, Germany - represents the perfect illustration of it. QSP ®: INNOVATIVE PROCESS FOR THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES LAYERING The QSP production line is dedicated to composite parts manufacturing through composite layering process. The QSP ® line is a breakthrough innovation that has the following competitive advantages: Cycle times acceleration allowing to reach automotive standards for the production of net shape parts ready for assembly in 1 minute Capacity to transform up to 5 kilograms of raw material per minute into medium or large sized structural parts Alternative to steel, aluminium, thermoset plastics and mono-material TP Proven industrial principles Reduced scrap: material usage > 90 % QSP ® SOLUTION : PRODUCTION LINES & MACHINES QSP ® layup is available in two versions : the high volume QSP ® line or the QSP ® Compact line - different sizes and options available on request. The QSP ® preforming & forming line The QSP ® results in a high series production line for CFRP and thermoplastic TP matrix structural part with multi-thickness, multi-material and net-shape, ready for assembly.
