IN GERMANY, FAGOR ARRASATE SHOWS ITS KNOW-HOW IN THE COMPOSITES’ FIELD

In Germany, Fagor Arrasate   has shown with great success its know-how in the field of the technology and equipment for processing composites materials. First, it attended the Exhibition Composites Europe 2015   in Stuttgart during the third week of September. In Fagor’s booth, Fagor Arrasate proposed different solutions for processing SMC, D-LFT, GMT, LWRT, CFRT as well as other methods for obtaining composites parts. The robotized manipulators and advanced controls specialized in this type of processes. It was shown, moreover, the advanced slide’s parallelism control, a vital feature to optimize the manufacturing of complex parts. Fagor Arrasate has developed also a 4-colum press aimed to be used in the manufacturing of composites parts.

In parallel with the Exhibition, Fagor Arrasate’s engineers were present at the first International Composites Congress (ICC)  that was held at the ICS Internationales Congresscenter Stuttgart where experts of all Europe gathered to analyze the present and future of this technology that promises to change dramatically the manufacturing of strong light weight parts, a vital factor to assure the sustainability and the reduction of pollution in, for instance, the automotive sector. The market trends for 2020, new potential processes, new combinations of fibers and matrixes as well as the required equipment were some of the subjects studied during the Congress. An event that combined conferences, workshops and discussion panels.
