Support for smart electronic system for the production

The hybrid technology based in compounds of polyamide reinforced with continuous fibre reduces substantially the weight in the construction of trucks, as it shows in the electronic support developed by Audi AG, Lanxess, KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH and Christian Karl Siebenwurst GmbH & Co. KG Modellbau und Formenbau. “The prototype weighs near of the half that the homologous component in steel, can install with greater ease and manufacture in a process on a large scale”, explains the expert in engineering of Lanxess, Ulrich Dajek.

The component is manufactured in a process of an alone phase and with an only mould; this involves the use of two insertos of Tepex dynalite 102-RG600(2)/47% of Bond Laminates, subsidiary of Lanxess. The final piece does not require additional works and is the result of a narrow cooperation between different departments of development of Audi, the one who was manager of the specifications, design of the component and his respective proofs. Likewise in the conjoint project, Lanxess and Bond-Laminates designed the component to bear the main loads and realizar structural mechanical analyses and of process. Lanxess Affirms that other elements of support of the trucks can be designed like structural components manufactured to base of hybrid technology with Tepex.
