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.
