NEWSLETTER EN SOLUTIONS SERVICE ABOUT US NEWSROOM PEOPLE CONTACT COMPOSITE LINES Optimised automation for each application Go back Description Technical specifications Downloads Contact When it comes to reducing CO2 emissions in the automotive sector, the use of high yield strength steels and aluminium is not likely to be sufficient to reduce the weight of a vehicle to the required proportions. This is why it will be necessary to resort to the use of composite materials that offer an excellent combination of good mechanical properties and light weight. We at FAGOR ARRASATE, being a leader in facilities for the automotive sector, are prepared to respond to the changes that will occur in the market in the coming years, and therefore we offer our customers facilities for composite materials. The advantages of using composite materials in the automotive sector areas follows: The weight of each part is reduced The number of parts is reduced The functions of each part are augmented Noise levels are improved Structural strength is increased Fatigue resistance Corrosion is eliminated Parts can feature complex geometry There are many types of composites. Thermoset and thermoplastic composites are two groups of materials from which lightweight components can be manufactured to achieve such ambitious goals as those of the automotive sector. The use of hydraulic presses is recommended for all compound compression processes. The main characteristics of cells of this type are as follows: High-precision, servo-controlled active parallelism control systems in hydraulic presses for composites. Reliability: The production cells are intended for mass production and are highly reliable Optimised energy consumption: installations designed to combine cycle time and optimised energy consumption, in each case integrating elements such as accumulators, Sytronic technology or servo pumps. Productivity: The lines are designed to improve productivity with the necessary equipment and accessories, incorporating the level of automation required in each case. Turn-key solution: The production cells integrate the press and all the necessary peripheral equipment into each specific process, as well as unwinder-slicers, ovens and press loading/unloading automation.
