Abstract:
A processing line for manufacturing of one or more vacuum bag frame assemblies where the processing line has a main frame and a pair of furnace half chambers, where the main frame is arranged for supporting the vacuum bag frame assemblies, and the furnace half chambers are arranged for enveloping one or more of the one or more composite lay-ups and further arranged for moving relative the vacuum bag frame assemblies.
Abstract:
The invention is an antiballistic armour plate comprising one or more layers of one or more antiballistic ceramic plates (2) laminated with a first, underlying fibre reinforced thermoplastic layer (8) comprising a first thermoplastic material (88) and reinforcement fibres (82), the antiballistic ceramic plates (2) arranged for receiving and deforming ballistic projectiles or shrapnel, and underlain by a spall liner (10) of one or more loosely bound sheets (11) of antiballistic fibres (12) arranged for receiving the ballistic projectiles or shrapnel having penetrated the ceramic plates (2). The antiballistic armour plate further has one or more of the antiballistic ceramic plates (2) provided with holes (3, 38) distributed across the one or more ceramic plates (2), wherein the holes (3, 38) have apertures at least toward the first, underlying thermoplastic layer (8) and provided with a thermoplastic matrix (4, 48) compatible with the first thermoplastic matrix material (88) and provided with reinforcement fibres (5, 58).
Abstract:
A solution to some of the problems related to manufacturing of fibre -reinforced composite panels is to provide a vacuum bag frame assembly, where said assembly comprises a tubular centre frame (2), a first vacuum bag frame (3) holding a first vacuum bag (30) arranged for closing against one side of the centre frame and a second vacuum bag frame (4) holding an second vacuum bag (40) arranged for closing against an opposite, second side of the centre frame. The centre frame is provided with a peripherally vacuum outlet external relative to the space between the vacuum bags, and one or more vacuum apertures directed internally relative to the space between the first and second vacuum bags and the centre frame. Said centre frame further comprises a tubular auxiliary frame (25) having a cross-section larger than the separation between the first and second sides of the centre frame, thus forming shoulders (26) for positioning and maintaining the relative position of said first and second vacuum bag frames.
