High-precision CNC fabric impregnation system ES-ICL1300B / ES-ICL1300MT with "Digital Matrix"
In-house prepreg / wet laminate / wet lay-up / composites automation / very high process reliability
Aircraft construction with wet laminate (in-house prepreg) now possible in industrial prepreg quality with precisely adjustable fibre volume fraction in accordance with aviation standards FAR23 & FAR25.
Machine with modular table
Pros:
The space-saving, compact and mobile machine can be used very variable with tables of approx. 2-17 m. The machine can be used at the different locations (mouls) in the company and the table can be used simultaneously for cutting. Furthermore a more easy and cheaper transport abroad is possible.
Cons:
Fabric Impregnation cannot continue while cutting on the impregnation table.
Machine with conveyor belt of 6-12 m
Pros:
Higher production rate with higher degree of automation.
Cons:
Conveyor belt can't be used for cutting.
The maximum fabric length is limited by the length of the conveyor belt. If necessary it's possible to impregnate longer fabrics if the material is pulled out by hand onto an additional table or if a second conveyor belt is coupled.
Thanks to the extremely precise, highly secure and reliable impregnation process, the ICL1300 allows significant component weight savings (up to 15%. The system is also predestined for the
production of sandwich components. Usual matrix additions (security surcharge) can be completely disregarded.
Since 2015, the 4th generation of our computer-controlled ES-Laminatic® impregation system is available. The new ICL1300 (Intelligent Composite Laminator) is an absolute NOVELTY in terms of
guaranteed accuracy in matrix dosing, mixing, and application.
The perfect impregnation of any fiber materials with epoxy resin matrix and adjustable fibre volume ratio is faster, easier, more precise and cheaper barely possible. The CNC-controlled ICL1300
incorporates 30 years of experience.
The operation of the system with the touch-screen display is simple and self-explanatory. At the press of a button, the ICL1300 produces perfectly reproducible wet laminates at up to 3.2 m² / min
at any time.
The epoxy resin matrix is dosed shortly before the impregnation of the fiber material "inline" and dynamically mixed. Even difficult to mix components with high viscosity differences are mixed
absolutely homogeneously.
The matrix is applied continuous or discontinuous with a fault-tolerant "double application principle". The cleaning of the system at the end of work can be done in a few minutes with a very
little amount of solvent.
The ICL1300B has a conveyor belt with 6 or 12 meters in length. A compact mobile table system ICL1300MT with winch for work tables of 2-16 meters is also available. The table system can be used
in different departments on stationary forms.
Since our systems are extremely reliable and have low-maintenance, usually there is no factory service required.
We train the employees of our customers professionally. This allows them to fix most of the errors themselves. If you still need support we can help you thanks to the integrated remote maintenance via VPN.
Therefore even the replacement of defective modules is fast and cost-effective worldwide.
