Robotic molding

GEBE2 produces robotic equipments for the molding of composites:
  • Ultrasonic cutting of raw or prepreg tissue
  • Ultrasonic welding of thermoplastics
  • Preforming
  • Patch handling and lay-ups
  • Robotization to load and unload presses on RIM / RTM / SMC / Stamping processes.

Examples of robotic molding applications

COMPRESSION MOLDING: SMC

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.

Robotic molding - press casting RIM - GEBE2

PRESS CASTING: RIM (REACTION INJECTION MOLDING)

As part of the production of two-component polyurethane or polymer parts using the RIM process, GEBE2 offers complete systems that comprise:

  • The injection machine
  • Presses or mold carrier
  • Automated injection by robotic casting or closed mold injection
  • Automation and end-to-end supervision of the production process

RTM (RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING) PREFORMING AND CURING

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:

  • Heating the material
  • Preforming
  • Material laid in the mold
  • Mold loaded in the press
  • Curing on the press with heating trays
  • Mold cooled and released

Robotic cutting - composite ultrasonic cutting - GEBE2

ULTRASONIC CUTTING

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.

  • Thermoset: up to 25mm multi-ply with carbon fiber reinforcement
  • Thermoplastics: up to 6mm of PPS plates with carbon reinforcement
