NAME Karbono zuntz lehorrezko konpositeen fabrikazioan ikertzeko zelula

DESCRIPTION

Zuntz ehun lehorretatik abiatuta konpositeak era aurreratuan fabrikatzeko prozesuko ikerketarako zelula. Ultrasoinu bidezko ebaketa eta spot welding prozesuak ikertzeko bankuak ditu, aurreformaketarako ekipoak, Hot Drape Formingerakoak, eta molde unibertsalaren bidezko aurreformaketarako prototipo automatizatua. Era berean, bide likidoz moldekatzeko prozesuak garatzeko beharrezkoak diren ekipoak (ponpak, tresneriak, berotzeko ekipoak) eta infusio aldaera guztiak eta resin transfer moldinga (RTM) egitekoak beharrezkoak direnak. Zelulak ahalmen handia dauka ikertutako prozesuak monitorizatzeko, eta gai da denbora errealean indarrak, tenperaturak eta lehortze graduak kontrolatzeko, propietate dielektrikoen analisiaren bitartez (DEA). Azkenik, zelula honek aukera ematen du bukaerako konpositea ezaugarritzeko, porositateari eta zuntz edukiari dagokienez. Porositatearen ezaugarria ateratzeko ultrasoinuzko teknologiak erabiltzen ditu eta zuntz edukiarena, berriz, digestio azidoaren edota pirolisiaren bitartez.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

Design and development of materials

Manufacturing processes

MOST OUTSTANDING EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS

  • Automated stiffeners preforming equipment by means of universal mould (1200mm length and 150mm width)

    Equipment able to parameterize the process of forming stiffeners by universal mold

  • High temperature (up to 200ºC) hot drape forming machine (Up to 3000mm length, 1300mm width and 350mm high).

    Machine cable to apply heat and vacuum pressure by means of a high temperature deformable membrane. Its dimensions allow manufacturing demonstrators of aeronautical structural parts

  • NDT equipment

    Ultrasound inspection tools. Conventional and phased array transducers. (Olimpus Focus PX). Eddy current equipment. Monitoring systems (Olympus Omniscan NX).

  • Resin transfer modeming (RTM) equipment (from 0 to 6bar injection pressure)

    Equipment to work in the molding by RTM with thermosetting resins

  • Ultrasound spot welding equipment with time, stress and temperature monitoring

    Dry carbon fiber fabrics with binder or veil, currently the most used in the aeronautical sector can be welded locally applying pressure and ultrasonic vibration by melting the veil or the binder. This equipment is able to parameterize this process to be able to incorporate devices of this type in automatic lay up heads.
