CONTINUOUS RESISTANCE HEATING TECHNOLOGY FOR HIGH-SPEED CARBON FIBRE PLACEMENT PROCESSES

Kurzfassung

The Continuous Resistance Heating Technology (CoRe HeaT) is an alternative to state-of-the-art heating systems for carbon fibre placement processes. It allows rapid heating with minimal reaction times and thus offers the potential to increase productivity for suitable processes. A brief overview of the technology is given with a focus on the development of a temperature prediction model. First experiments show how to validate the model for new materials. The aim is to achieve optimized heat generation by implementing the model into the temperature controller.
