Abstract
A self-learning process monitoring and automatic control system has been developed to provide optimal and straightforward solutions for a wide range of resins and applications without particular investment and knowledge from the manufacturers' side. Three different liquid moulding applications were used as the testing bed for the technologies covering a wide range of processing conditions (polyesters and epoxies, fast and slow cure cycles, carbon and glass fibres) with products from automotive to composite bridges. At the first application in high-speed RTM, the new system did prove its advantages in monitoring and control an RTM epoxy CFRP production achieving acceleration of more than 10% in existing production and potentially up to 40% through an additional optimisation step.
