RTM resin transfer molding unit

C-RTM (compression resin transfer molding) is a process that enables the production of structural parts in high-performance composites with a cycle time of two minutes. In 2017, the C-RTM process won the JEC Group Innovation Award. Process Rapid press closing at a precise interval, vacuum is created in the tool cavity Precisely measured resin is rapidly injected into the gap above the preform The press closes completely, compacting and impregnating the preform to its final dimensions. Features Process performance : Repeatability On-line control Flexible: supports multiple manufacturing processes Fully automated process Net shape Compatible with thermoplastic and thermosetting resins 30 pieces/h Two-minute cycle time for large parts Use of 100% of raw materials Compatible with high-pressure (HP) injection Product performance : Fiber volume: up to 60%. Porosity active as default) Eco Compact Sustainable Press (ECS PRESS) Press tonnage: 1,500 tonnes Opening and closing speed: 800 mm/s Platens size: 2 m x 1.5 m with parallelism control RTM equipment and tools Innovative modular tool (net-shape, thermally optimized) Optimized temperature control system High-pressure injection molding machines for thermoplastic and thermoset resins (30-250 cm3/min) Automation Dedicated control room 6-axis robots (x2) – 700 kg capacity Modular preweighers (for preforms and composite parts) Online monitoring, data backup and post-processing In-line controls (preform and part) Centralized acquisition and archiving of process parameters
