Lamination

We carry out the entire production cycle: starting from the lamination of carbon fiber, Kevlar, and glass fabrics, up to the subsequent processes of cutting, shaping, and composition into sandwich panels.

Our production process

Panel processing with KevlarLaminationPanel processing with Kevlar

Fabric cutting

 

The pre-preg fabrics in rolls are laid out and cut with an automated system to the sizes required for lamination.

 

Milling

 

The pieces are cut, drilled and milled using a CNC machining center.

 

Molding cycle

 

Lamination takes place with a double press system:

First hot press that allows control of temperature, pressure, and the necessary degassing cycles. The maximum operating temperature can reach up to 180° degrees; the maximum operating pressure is between 9 and 13 Kg/cm;

Second cold press with cryogenic system stabilizes and completes the polymerization cycle of the fabric matrices.

Materials

Fabrics

kevlar or carbon skins

Pre-impregnated fabrics
Pre-impregnated fabrics are made with all compatible types of fabric, from polyester to carbon fiber, through the application of resins, generally epoxy.
Shielding pre-impregnated fabrics
Compared to other pre-impregnated fabrics, shielding pre-impregnated fabrics have an additional “nickel plating bath” that gives the pre-impregnated fabric high shielding properties. These properties provide protection from electromagnetic waves.
Fabrics coupled with polyethylene.
These are dry fabrics coupled with a thermoplastic polyethylene film

kevlar skins

Fibre composite

Glass fibers. In structural fabrics, glass fibers are characterized by excellent elasticity, high mechanical strength, and low density.
Kevlar fibers. Kevlar fibers are characterized by remarkable resistance to traction, impacts, and corrosion. In addition, Kevlar laminates are not electrically conductive and are heat resistant.​
Carbon fibers. Carbon fibers are characterized by high mechanical strength for the same weight, resistance to chemical agents, and excellent fire-retardant properties.
Polyethylene bonded fabrics. These are dry fabrics bonded with a thermoplastic polyethylene film.

Resins

Thermosetting resins have a non-reversible heat-activated polymerization process. In general, thermosetting resins provide mechanical properties such as low shrinkage during molding, resistance to chemical agents (acids, bases, solvents), temperature resistance, low dielectric constant, and excellent adhesion to metals and fibers.

 

Thermoplastic resins are characterized by a change of state, from plastic to rigid and vice versa, which can be reactivated by heat. This allows fabrics coupled with these resins to be thermoformed.
