Custom Engineered Press for Small Parts Prepreg Production
Some productions are using prepreg. To improve productivity and to facilitate the operator`s work, we have developed a production machine dedicated to the use of these materials. This machine is equipped with a bottom shuttle table with two lower half molds. The upper half mold is placed on the upper structure which is mobile and is lowered to close the mold. When the mold is closed, the thermal cycle of the prepreg can begin. During this cycle, the operator has full access to the second half bottom mold. The operator can unload parts, clean the cavities, and implement the preform to prepare a new production cycle. As a result, all the preparatory work is done in parallel to part production time improving overall efficiency.
When the thermal cycle is complete, the press opens and the table translates the two lower half molds at the same time. The operator inspects the cleanliness of the upper half mold before closing, and a new cycle starts again.
Press workshop layout for production:
These small production machines can be organized into a production workshop. The presses can be handled and positioned in the factory with a simple forklift. Therefore, it is easy to adapt the layout to the design of the building and to the constraints of both the inflow and outflow of materials and parts.
