ENGINEERING FOR COMPOSITES
Hall 5A - G81
Building on its proprietary Molecular Plasma Technology, which
enables grafting of a nanometric layer of functional organic
chemistry onto any substrate and is widely used for solvent-free
surface priming for adhesion, MPG has now further developed
its technology for application on powders and
particles.
Targeted functionalities include: improved
hydrophobicity, improved hydrophilicity,
improved adhesion by grafting functional groups
such as amines, epoxies, acrylic or isocyanates,
and improved flowability.
This dry technology can be used to functionalize
any type of substrate and the fields of application
range from 3D printing to the manufacture of advanced composite
materials. Particle sizes can be as low as 50 microns and up to several
millimetres. www.molecularplasmagroup.com
SMART WORKFLOWS FOR DIGITAL
CUTTING AND KITTING
> Booth:
Hall 5 - T41
As a specialist in digital cutting for composites applications,
Zünd demonstrates how data management, digital cutting,
and downstream processes such as picking, sorting,
and kitting, can be automated intelligently and based on
specific needs. In Industry
4.0 in general and composites
processing in particular, an
unencumbered flow of data
is key to workflow efficiency.
With Zünd PreCut Center, the
user is well equipped to handle
the challenges of demanding
manufacturing processes. The
software automatically optimizes contours and adjusts cut paths
depending on the material and choice of tools. With the integrated
nesting function, parts are laid out automatically for optimal material
utilization. www.zund.com
T-EVAC VACUUM DEGASSING STATION
COLD JET'S REVOLUTIONARY
DRY ICE BLASTER - PCS®
60
Cold Jet, a global leader in dry ice
technology, reinvented dry ice blasting
with the PCS 60, that features a
patented Particle Control System™
(PCS). The PCS precisely cuts dry ice into
diamond-shaped particles to the exact
dimensions chosen by the operator (0.3mm
to 3mm and 28 sizes in-between). This
offers composite part manufacturers a
greater degree of versatility in their cleaning
applications. Previously, a facility would need
multiple cleaning machines with different aggression level capabilities
for each application. Manufacturers can now benefit from having
just one single smart machine with the ability to adapt the cleaning
process to so many different applications in the world of composites.

LAMINATING LIGHTWEIGHT
COMPONENTS QUICKLY AND
SAFELY
> Booth:
Hall 5A - C69
Tartler offers compact systems for small-volume application of
synthetic resins. The lamination of fibre composite woven fabrics
is a key shaping and joining process used in aviation, yacht
construction and the manufacture of
drones.
Of central importance here is
the reliable metering, mixing and
application of the polyurethane and
epoxy resins required to consolidate
the fabric films.
The 2C processing systems
of the MDM series from Tartler have been specifically developed
for this task. Depending on the design, they are suitable for the
manual or semi-automated production of laminated lightweight
components for ultralight aircraft, boat hulls and drone bodies.

Hall 5A - C69
Tartler supplies dosing-mixing systems including vacuum degassing for pultrusion.
The T-EVAC vacuum degassing station was developed by Tartler to give users of pultrusion as well as
vacuum infusion, wet pressing and resin transfer molding (RTM) an additional opportunity to further
improve both their molding processes and their product quality to a decisive degree.

REAL-TIME TRACKING SOFTWARE WITH A VISION SYSTEM
IRIS ActiveTrack is a laser positioning software that can project a stable, accurate laser line directly onto any surface to
provide operators with the information needed to get the job done more efficiently.
> Booth:
Hall 5 - R82
IRIS ActiveTrack enables users to complete inspection and assembly tasks effortlessly on moving parts and to inspect automated fibre
placement (AFP) ply boundary while a tool, such as a mandrel, is in motion. Technicians are guided by the lasers to position parts or
components for assembly tasks. The accuracy of the laser ensures the right part is in the right place, in the right sequence.
Technicians work at the tool, with no need to manually measure, use templates, or consult reference documentation.
This patented technology can be applied to many applications in a wide array of industries. www.virtekvision.com
