AZL Aachen Co., Ltd. cooperates with RWTH Aachen University Institute of Industrial Plastics Processing and Process Technology (IKV) and RWTH Aachen University Aachen Lightweight Integrated Production Center (AZL) to develop more and more thermoplastic tapes for injection molded parts production. The medium-sized injection molding machine, tape manufacturer, machine and tool manufacturer as well as OEM and Tier 1s actively participate in the development and benefit from it. AZL and IKV invite companies interested in this to participate in the Fakuma on October 18, 2018. Joint research and launch activities.
As a local reinforcing material, thermoplastic tape can improve the product performance of injection molded parts, while effectively using materials and saving costs. Improve material stiffness and strength, improve surface hardness and improved optical components for small and medium-sized injection molding machines, especially for traditional injection molded parts. However, most injection molding machines use less thermoplastic tape.
Experts at RWTH Aachen University are systematically presenting the application of injection molding, which is particularly suitable for optimizing the conditions of use of thermoplastic tape. The focus of this optimization is on traditional injection molded parts, rather than on typical lightweight applications. Aspect. Another important outcome of the project is the comprehensive recording of the latest levels of relevant methods and technologies for component development and production. Through the active participation of the entire supply chain, all relevant companies will benefit from systematic knowledge and communication: The development and manufacturing process will be analyzed and developed to help injection molding machines evaluate the potential of this technology, especially in their production. Tape manufacturers and machine tool and tool manufacturers will understand the requirements for using thermoplastic tape from a processor perspective. And challenges. OEMs and Tier1s can communicate directly with suppliers, communicate their needs and requirements, and jointly evaluate applications.
After categorizing and developing the application process for the injection molding machine, the six-month action proposal is studied as follows: The commercial case of hybrid thermoplastic parts will give specific examples of the parts. The action recommendations for overcoming technical and organizational obstacles will be combined with practical The guidelines are given together, including guidelines for project start-up, design, manufacturing, and planning.
Injection molding machines, tape manufacturers and laminating machines, machine tool builders and engineering suppliers, as well as OEMs and Tier 1s were invited to participate in the study, which will be available on October 18, 2018 in Friedrichshafen's Faku The horse started.
