Schneller geht's im Team: Effiziente Fertigung von Flügelschalen

Kurzfassung

Beside the further development of existing production technologies of large carbon fibre reinforced (CFR) structures, completely new man-ufacturing strategies have to be modeled and tested to counteract the striven production rate of 60AC/month. Within the LuFo V-1 funded project “Efficient Wing Cover Manufacturing” (EWiMa), therefore the fibre layup of a wing cover with two manufacturing units working simultaneously will be tested and demonstrated for the first time using the GroFi® plant of the ZLP in Stade. Due to a simulated process, a time saving of 38% is expected. In addition the use of a segmentally heatable curing tool is investigated. By the use of a thermal camera system, mounted in the research autoclave of the ZLP in Stade, the triggering of the heatable tool is completely done by the autoclave control system. Beside an improvement of the manufacturing quality, a time saving of the energy-intensive autoclave process and thus a reduction of the manufacturing cost is expected with this approach.
