Plants For Fiber-Reinforced Composites Brochure

www.siempelkamp.comWhether as flooring panels, wall and ceiling panels or cabin components, sandwich panels are indispensable in the aircraft industry. Multi-daylight sandwich presses by Siempelkamp have provided impor-tant support in this area for almost 20 years. In 1993 we supplied the first press to Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH in Dresden. The EADS location manu-factures furnishing components for the Airbus on this press. The latest milestone of this cooperation: In a close dialogue with our cus-tomers we succeeded in further optimizing the production of sandwich flooring panels. The approval for this latest generation of carbon-fiber re-inforced composite panels has already been issued• optimal ratio between weight and stability • enormous strength under high-stress conditions• stability of the honeycomb structure at high acceleration levels • crash safety – no smoke production under heat impacts.Siempelkamp sandwich presses inspire:Stability and weight in an optimal balanceFivefold press clusterFloor panels for airplanesMulti daylaight designGERMANY Siempelkamp Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH & Co. KG Siempelkampstraße 75 • 47803 Krefeld • Tel.: +49 2151/92-30 • Fax: +49 2151/92-5604 • www.siempelkamp.comPress Technology for Lightweight Composites High-end Production Facilities made by Siempelkamp Our breakthrough in the area of fiber composite material: The 4-cylinder high-tech press for composite panels – tailored to meet the requirements that manufacturers of high-performance composites expect from us. Your demanding markets deserve press technology at its best. • 100% accurate positioning for the forward and backward movement• exact control during shutdown of the press – precision hydraulics• special advantage: can be operated in open-die as well as closed-die mode • gap impregnation for enormous versatility • excellent pressure distribution inside the press• modular tool changing and clamping system for tool dimensions with heights between 200 and 1,550 mm • direct and indirect varying heating and cooling system for toolsThe result: Materials for the automobile and aviation industries which have an increasingly higher quality and are becoming more economical to produceA newly developed shuttle system ensures quick and easy tool set changes. This means that, according to the design, both processes can be carried out on one press system.Composite presses for RTM processes and Organosheet forming:Ultimate precisionOrganosheet partsComposite production with Siempelkamp press technology: For high-end products only the best – right from the startSiempelkamp: Plant operators have trusted in this name for 128 years. The advantage of our market position has tradition: We plan and design highly precise presses which set benchmarks in the wood-based materials and metal forming industries.A key element and cornerstone of our reputation: We provide complete processes and supply customers with a closed service chain. All machines are developed, designed and built in-house. Complex software programs calculate the fatigue strength of our presses under load conditions. Now we support the users in carrying out the composite panel production on an industrial scale while maintaining the high quality and reducing the unit cost. We manufacture presses and handling systems for the RTM process and for Organosheets. Our multi-daylight sandwich presses produce composite panel products for the floor, side walls, ceiling, and interior constructions of the Airbus.Another convincing factor: The Siempelkamp research and development department tests processes and perfects the complete production lines tailored to these processes. Thus, semi-finished products can be produced economically and with high quality. For our customers this is the best reason to buy from Siempelkamp.
