CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) is a composite material that has attracted the attention of the aviation industry, aerospace industry and the automobile industry as a new material. By reinforcing the resin with carbon fiber, not only is it lightweight but it is high in strength and has a stiffness higher than resin itself. CFRP laminates are manufactured by stacking sheets called prepregs that are made of carbon fibers impregnated with resin.
CFRP automatic stacking machine
This is an automatic stacking machine for carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin (CFRTP) unidirectional continuous fiber (UD tape) materials.
It consists of two units of [cutting and joining area] to fabricate “arbitrary angle-oriented sheets” (800 to 1,200 mm square) with fiber orientation of arbitrary angle from UD tape and [stacking area] which can stack the fabricated “arbitrary angle-oriented sheets” in any arbitrary configuration.
