The SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) is a semi-finished product containing chopped reinforcement fibers and resin, with the added advantage of very fast press-processing times. GEBE2 produces robotic cells for loading raw materials into molds, unloading parts and finishing.
As part of the production of two-component polyurethane or polymer parts using the RIM process, GEBE2 offers complete systems that comprise:
These islands enable end-to-end production of a composite part starting from a material blank laid out flat. The production steps are as follows:
Using ultrasonic cutters to cut composite materials provides a high level of precision and a perfect cutting quality. The high-frequency vibration of the sonotrode prevents adhesion to the blade, thereby minimizing maintenance interventions, and cauterizes, thus avoiding delamination of the fibers.
When fitted on a robotic system, this SONIMAT technology makes it possible to cut semi-finished products into shape: aramid, Kevlar, honeycomb, nomex, glass fiber, prepregs.
