FOCUS TOPICS

AUTOMATED FIT PRODUCTION LINE

Efficiency in thermoforming, press laminating and edge folding: these core competencies are more in demand than ever. Although there is a strong increase in Press Laminating with accurate bland, vacuum-capable processing via thermoforming and laminating offers significant advantages for a wide range of applications. Among other things, the clever tool design allows extremely short cycle times with minimized foil offcuts.

FRIMO Innovative Technologies will show how production of seat back panels with integrated ambient lighting can be realized in one interlinked system. The first step involves the vacuum lamination of a TPO decorative film with subsequent punching of the foil overhang. The vacuum laminating system has a horizontal rotary table for holding two lower tools, combined with a rotary upper table with four corresponding upper tools. This powerful equipment combines the most modern technology available on the market in the smallest possible space.

FLEXLINE JOINING/ASSEMBLY

Joining applications are becoming more complex and diverse, and quality requirements are increasing. We support customers with a perfect fit of joining processes for your material combinations. Our tooling and equipment for welding already serves many industries for different applications, e.g. automotive and transportation, aerospace, construction, public health and medical, white goods, electronics, toys, sporting equipment, and many more.

There are suitable FlexLine concepts for all essential joining techniques such ultrasonic, hot plate or IR welding, as well as heat stake riveting, stamping, screwing, and clipping. The optimal sequence of processing steps depends on customer and project specifications. The aim is always to achieve a maximum level of automation while allowing the customer the flexibility to adapt production to new or short-term requirements.

 

FIT FOR COMPOSITES

Structural components, such as complete roof modules, can be produced in fully automated systems for wet compression molding. In this process, dry continuous fiber layups or fabrics are impregnated with a reactive resin outside the press, then brought into the press and consolidated there, where the matrix materials cure.

The lower process pressures compared to RTM make it possible to combine the fiber composite structures in the pressing process with sandwich cores, for example made of foamed polyurethane or polyethylene cores, or paper honeycombs in a single step. In addition, more cost-effective tools can be used and cycle times can be significantly reduced. Another advantage WCM has over RTM is the elimination of three-dimensional preforming of the fiber structures in advance.

FIT FOR PU APPLICATIONS

Customized solutions are standard. PU processing solutions are used in automotive series production around the world for the manufacture e.g. of instrument or door panels, seats, and headrest production, as well as for insulation and structural components, within the construction industry, for white goods, furniture or also leisure industry applications.

This comprises equipment for processing materials such as flexible, semi-rigid, rigid and integral foams, as well as for casting systems, filled PU systems and spray applications. The portfolio ranges from tooling technology, mold carriers, stationary and mobile systems for polyurethane processing, to all aspects of wet technology including peripherals. Polyurethane also plays a significant role in battery development and production as well as for a variety of challenging gluing tasks.
