Abstract
Manufacturing processes of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) components are often characterized by a high fraction of manual activities especially in terms of handling, cleaning and edge sealing. The innovative machining process introduced in the project CFKComplete comprises a fully integrated and automated workflow reducing unnecessary handling and transportation activities. The concept has been realized on a 5-axis machine tool, providing enough workspace for large structural workpieces and the developed technology units. The units themselves are defined by their modularity, scalability and independency of the guiding machine. Key aspect of the innovative concept are four purpose built and developed interchangeable technology units, which are driven by the base machinery. Thus, the machine’s working scope is being enhanced from machining to a fully integrated workflow including quality inspection, cleaning, sealing and curing.
