Robotized systems make overmolding mobile, flexible!
ANYBRID has miniaturized the process to fit within a robot arm end effector, enabling, for example, pultrusions to be overmolded inline or molded structures to be functionalized within a robotic cell. Anybrid has recently completed a series of demonstrations to highlight new capabilities its technology can offer including:
- Overmolding joining/fastening inserts with compression-molded polyamide (PA) composite profiles and polyetherimide (PEI) composite stringers made using continuous compression molding (CCM);
- Combining 3D printing and overmolding;
- Hybridization with new processes and materials such as reactive thermoplastic pultrusion and wood polymer composites.
For automotive applications, demonstrations used Lanxess Bond-Laminates Tepex 102-RG600 PA6 with 47% glass fiber roving for compression molding. Resulting composite profiles were then overmolded using Lanxess’ PA6 flame-retardant Durethan BKV60 and BKV30 with 60% and 30% chopped glass fiber, respectively. For this application, ROBIN was used to integrate threaded fasteners from Bรถllhoff into a narrow omega-shaped profile.
