Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the production of a multilayer outer layer of fiber-reinforced mats with a thermoplastic matrix at least partially surrounding the fibers.
  • a method for producing a multilayer counterweight is known, wherein the multilayer countershaft is produced along a conveyor belt by means of a cutting and laying head the mats at defined angles to each other along the conveying path of the conveyor belt, the multilayer countershaft.
  • a disadvantage of the method disclosed in the prior art is that for each individual layer along the conveyor belt a corresponding cutting and laying head must be provided, so that correspondingly with each layer to be laid the manufacturing plant must be sized larger and the production equipment investment increases.
  • the cutting and laying heads must place the mats on the moving conveyor belt, so that the tolerances to be observed when depositing the mats must not be very high.
  • a method for producing a multilayer counterweight of fiber-reinforced mats with a thermoplastic matrix at least partially surrounding the fibers comprising the following steps: (A) construction of a first single layer of at least two mats with a defined orientation and a defined distance from each other on a first storage element by means of a laying unit, (B) receiving the first single layer with a gripping unit while maintaining the orientation of the distance of the mats to each other,
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible, by means of the local separation of the process steps of building up the individual layers and the construction of the multilayer countershaft, to carry out these two steps in parallel and significantly reduce the production time of the multilayer countershaft.
  • the defined orientation and the defined distance of the mats of a particular single layer can be easily monitored and controlled (eg by a camera system with corresponding image analysis), so that the quality or the accuracy of the orientation and the distance of the mats to each other can be adjusted much more accurately by the separate structure of a single individual position than in a method of the prior art.
  • the construction of a first single layer may comprise only one mat, which is constructed by means of a laying unit on a first storage element.
  • steps B, and C can be made in particular at the same time or substantially simultaneously with the step D.

  • a rotatability of either at least one of the storage elements or the gripping unit or at least one storage element and the gripping unit allows the individual layers also vorzupositionieren angled to each other.
  • Rotatability of the first storage element in relation to the gripping unit makes it possible for a defined angle in relation to the gripping unit to be set after closing or during construction of the first or further single layer, so that this angular orientation need not be performed by the laying unit itself , Alternatively, this angular orientation can also be realized by a rotatability of the gripping unit.
  • the angular orientation by means of one or both rotatable storage elements in relation to the gripping unit so the accuracy and speed of the method according to the invention can be further improved.
  • At least one rotatable storage element in relation to the gripping unit also makes it possible to spend after the successful construction of the first or the further single layer in a receiving position, at the same time on the same storage element a correspondingly free space to build another To create a single layer.
  • the support elements for this purpose have a circular structure.

  • the transport unit may be formed by an industrial robot.
  • so-called multi-axis robots in particular five-axis robots, which have corresponding gripping units or to which corresponding gripping units are assigned, are suitable for this purpose.
  • the laying unit and the transport unit are located on a common linear guide unit. The laying unit and the transport unit can be moved as a result along a common linear guide unit. A corresponding manufacturing plant for carrying out the method can thereby be made even more compact.
