Lamination Shuttle Press for Compression Moulding:
BIPEL 55 tonne down stroking hydraulic press for prepreg carbon fibre lamination with shuttle tables. Engineered for demanding compression moulding applications, this machine delivers consistent, high-pressure results essential for aerospace, automotive, and high-performance material production.
- Maximum Tonnage: 55 tonnes: Provides the necessary force for high-quality, void-free composite consolidation.
- Daylight between heated platens: 250 mm: Ample space for loading and unloading thicker layups and tooling.
- Stroke: 250 mm: Sufficient operational range for various mould heights.
- Electric Heating Platens: 1000 mm x 4000 mm: This massive working area allows for accommodating large-format components. Precise electric heating ensures uniform temperature distribution for optimal resin cure.
- Two shuttle tables: Boost production by letting operators prepare the next layup during the cure cycle. This dramatically reduces non-productive time.
- PTFE conveyor belt: Facilitates easy, non-stick transfer of prepregs and finished parts, ensuring material integrity and ease of cleanup.
- Two pairs of light curtains: Provide uncompromised operator safety, instantly halting the press stroke if the working area is breached.
- Omron PLC control system: Offering precise, repeatable control over temperature, pressure, and cycle time, ensuring consistent part quality batch after batch.
