Lightweight, Energy-Efficient Tooling for the Manufacturing of Rotor Blades (LEEToRB)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

This proposal argues that the main objectives of the undertaking, light-weight and energy-efficient tools, can be achieved by the creation of self-heating composite tools which are appli-cable in an RTM process. The aim is to establish a set of full-sized rotor blade tools for a low-cost and energy efficient RTM cycle. This contains two tools (upper and lower mold) for preforming, consecutively re ...

Industrialisation of self heated composite tooling based on Tailored Fibre Placement Technology (GREEN-TOOLING)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

"Composite materials are starting to be used extensively in many industrial applications. This is the case for example of the transport (automotive, rail and aeronautic), marine, wind energy and construction industries. New developments such as textile preforming combined with liquid moulding technologies together with recent automation developments will support this tendency.Although it seems tha ...

Disassembly of eco-designed helicopter demonstrators (Disacop)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

With the future use of thermoplastic composite (TPC) helicopter parts, recycling, repairing and reuse of used composite parts become within reach. In order to recycle used parts of an assembly group the joints have to be detachable.Disacop will investigate a thermoplastic separation scenario that will allow disassembling the parts of a structure by fusion debonding for recycling. Due to the ther ...

Development of energy efficient / lightweight composite parts and tooling based on Tailored Fibre Placement technology / self heating technology (EMBROIDERY)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"Composite materials are being used extensively in many industrial applications with higher production needs than the yielded by current technologies. New developments such as textile preforming combined with liquid moulding technologies will support this tendency. Nevertheless, there are still some drawbacks. More repeatable and automated processes are required and tools must be developed to assi ...
