Introduction to Carbon Fiber Molding Hydraulic Press

As carbon fiber products gradually become popular due to their many significant advantages, the main equipment for manufacturing carbon fiber products, "carbon fiber molding hydraulic press", has also received widespread attention and application. This machine is a hydraulic equipment specially used for carbon fiber composite molding, combining high pressure and temperature control to achieve the manufacture of high-performance composite parts. Below, the Jianlong Hydraulic Technology Team briefly introduces its core features and applications:

1. Equipment composition and working principle

1.1 Core structure:

1.1.1 Hydraulic system: Provide high pressure (usually 10-50MPa) to ensure material density.

1.1.2 Heating system: Use electric heating plate, oil heat or electromagnetic induction, temperature range 80-300℃ (depending on the type of resin).

1.1.3 Mold system: High-precision steel mold or aluminum mold, can be integrated with cooling channel.

1.1.4 Control system: PLC or CNC controls pressure, temperature and time parameters.

1.2 Workflow: 

Put carbon fiber prepreg or dry fiber ply into the mold, heat and pressurize to solidify the resin, and cool and demold after molding.

2. Technical advantages

2.1 High-pressure compaction: eliminate bubbles and pores, and improve interlayer bonding strength (porosity can be less than 1%).

2.2 High-precision molding: Repeat positioning accuracy reaches ±0.1mm, suitable for complex curved surfaces (such as car spoilers, drone fuselages).

2.3 High efficiency: Compared with the autoclave process, the cycle is shortened by more than 50%, suitable for mass production.

3. Typical applications

3.1 Aerospace: Rapid prototyping of aircraft doors and satellite brackets.

3.2 Automotive industry: Battery housings for new energy vehicles, carbon fiber frames (such as BMW i series model parts).

3.3 Industrial parts: High-strength manufacturing of robot arms and wind turbine blade joints.

3.4 Sports equipment: Precision manufacturing of golf clubs and bicycle frames.

4. Technology development trends

4.1 Intelligence: Integrated Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor process parameters in real time and automatically optimize the curing curve.

4.2 Energy-saving design: Adopting servo hydraulic system, energy consumption is reduced by 20%-30%.

4.3 Multi-material compatibility: Supports co-molding of thermoplastic (such as PEEK) and thermosetting (such as epoxy resin) composite materials.
