RT Conference Proceedings T1 Industrial cure monitoring and control of the RTM production of a CFRP automotive component A1 Pantelelis, Nikos A1 Nedelec, Gilles A1 Amosse, Yannick A1 Toitgans, Marc Philippe A1 Beigbeder, Alexandre A1 Harismendy, Isabel A1 Mezzacasa, Ricardo A1 Zhang, Jie A1 Bistekos, Efthymios AB 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.
