Processing thermoplastic composite sheets with ARBURG

Mechanical properties can be significantly improved by overmoulding thermoplastic composite sheets. Local reinforcement via ribs or the integration of functional elements such as mountings produces highly resilient thermoplastic composite sheets. The modular ALLROUNDER technology from ARBURG enables the automated and cost-effective production of high-quality components of this type.

Thermoplastic composite sheets consist of a combination of continuous fibres (glass, carbon or aramid) and a variety of matrix materials. If these are overmoulded with conventional thermoplastics, their positive properties increase. This makes it easier to replace metal materials.
Thermoplastic composite sheets can be efficiently processed in an automated production cell. The same short cycle times can be achieved as with injection moulding.
