From the Material to the Component

Our ma­te­ri­als can be used in the form of UD‑Tapes for var­i­ous pro­cess­ing tech­nolo­gies. On one hand, they can be used ef­fi­cient­ly to re­in­force in­jec­tion mold­ed com­po­nents as so-called in­sert­s. This is a sim­ple way of sig­nif­i­cant­ly im­prov­ing the me­chan­i­cal prop­er­ties of such com­po­nents. On the oth­er hand, they can al­so be pro­cessed di­rect­ly in­to ro­ta­tion­al­ly sym­met­ric or flat com­po­nents us­ing spe­cial man­u­fac­tur­ing pro­cess­es such as wind­ing or press­ing. The best ma­te­ri­al uti­liza­tion can be achieved if the fiber ori­en­ta­tion of the UD‑Tapes is matched to the stress­es of the com­po­nen­t. De­pend­ing on the ap­pli­ca­tion and giv­en bound­ary con­di­tion­s, we can ad­vise you on how to ex­ploit the max­i­mum po­ten­tial of these ma­te­ri­als in your ap­pli­ca­tion. We de­fine our­selves by the fol­low­ing prop­er­ties:

Manufacturing of cutouts from unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites
Measuring of a component
Winding of a fibre-reinforced composite
Manufacturing of a tension-/compression-torsion test specimen
  • We Provide an Overview
    Whether wind­ing, press­ing or in­jec­tion mold­ing in­sert­s, we ad­vise you holis­ti­cal­ly on how you can use UD‑Tapes ef­fi­cient­ly in your ap­pli­ca­tion. We are not lim­it­ed to one tech­nol­o­gy, but can cov­er all com­mon com­po­nent man­u­fac­tur­ing pro­cess­es to­geth­er with our part­ner­s.
  • We Know Our Materials
    Due to the melt­ing of the UD tape dur­ing com­po­nent man­u­fac­tur­ing, the re­spec­tive process has a sig­nif­i­cant in­flu­ence on the ma­te­ri­al prop­er­ties of the re­sult­ing ma­te­ri­al. In the case of se­mi-crys­talline ther­mo­plas­tic­s, for ex­am­ple, the cool­ing curve of the plas­tic is de­ci­sive for its me­chan­i­cal prop­er­ties. As we know our own ma­te­ri­als best, we take these ef­fects in­to ac­count when de­sign­ing com­po­nents and thus es­tab­lish an ef­fec­tive feed­back loop be­tween these in­flu­enc­ing pa­ram­e­ters and the de­sign.
  • We Offer Everything from a Single Source
    We are con­vinced that the po­ten­tial of fiber-re­in­forced plas­tic com­pos­ites can on­ly be ful­ly ex­ploit­ed by map­ping the en­tire val­ue chain from ma­te­ri­al to com­po­nent pro­duc­tion. We there­fore see our­selves as a sys­tems sup­pli­er for com­po­nents made from con­tin­u­ous fiber-re­in­forced ther­mo­plas­tic­s.
