Robot Drone Parts Use Three Major Molding Processes Of Carbon Fiber Composite Materials

Through The Case Of The Robotic Arm Parts Produced By Huiwen Intelligent Manufacturing, We Can See That The Use Of Carbon Fiber Composite Materials Instead Of Traditional Metal Materials To Manufacture Robotic Arm Parts Is Of Great Significance To Improving Industrial Production Efficiency, Energy Conservation Environmental Protection. With The In-Depth Research On Various Aspects Of The Performance Of Carbon Fiber Composite Materials In China, Carbon Fiber Composite Materials Are Playing An Increasingly Important Role In Robot Manufacturing.

In The Design Manufacture Of Carbon Fiber Composite Robot Parts , The Structural Elasticity Stiffness Distribution Requirements Are Often Achieved By Adjusting The Laying Angle The Number Of Material Layers. Carbon Fiber Composite Materials Are One Of The Most Commonly Used Reinforcement Materials In High-End Products. The Use Of Carbon Fiber Composite Materials To Make Robot Parts Generally Involves The Following Three Molding Processes:

1. Autoclave Forming Process

Autoclave Molding Is One Of The High-Performance Molding Processes For Composite Materials, Its Composite Components Main Load-Bearing Components Are Mostly Manufactured Using This Process. The Internal Quality Of Carbon Fiber Composite Components Molded In Autoclaves Is Good, The Resin Content Is More Uniform, The Mechanical Properties Are Also Better. However, Autoclave Molding Technology Also Has Certain Shortcomings. The Process Has High Requirements For Equipment, The Initial Investment Processing Costs Are Relatively High, The Economy Is Relatively Poor. A Cost Perspective, Huiwen Intelligent Manufacturing Often Chooses Low-Temperature Low-Pressure Molding Technology Instead When The Budget Is Limited. In Addition, During The Autoclave Molding Process Of Carbon Fiber Composites, The Flow, Heat Transfer, Chemical Cross-Linking Void Formation Of The Resin Will Affect Interact With Each Other, Which Increases The Difficulty Of Process Control. Once A Mistake Is Made, Processing Defects Such As Poor Glue High Porosity Will Occur.

2. Vacuum Bag Forming Process

Compared With The Autoclave Process, The Vacuum Bag Forming Process Is Relatively Simple, Does Require Excessive Investment In The Early Stage, Has Moderate Operating Difficulty. However, This Forming Method Has Low Pressure Is Only Suitable For Composite Components With Low Quality Standards. It Is Mostly Used To Manufacture Honeycomb Sandwich Structures Laminate Structures Exceeding 1.5 Mm. Huiwen Intelligent Manufacturing Has Obvious Cost Advantages, This Process Method Is Widely Used In The Manufacture Of Low-Speed UAVs, Because In The Manufacture Of Small Low-Speed UAVs, Vacuum Bag Forming Technology Can Meet The Production Requirements Of Most Parts.

In Actual Operation, Vacuum Bag Molding Requires Prepreg Laying Wet Laying, Wet Operation Is Affected By Human Factors, Which Can Easily Lead To Uneven Glue Application, Which Is Particularly Obvious In Sandwich Structure Molding. In Addition, Unreasonable Brushing Direction Can Easily Lead To Bending Change Of Fiber Direction, Threatening The Stability Of Carbon Fiber Composite Parts.

3. Compression Molding Process

The Compression Molding Process Is More Suitable For The Manufacture Of Foam Sandwich Composite Components. It Combines The Advantages Of Autoclave Molding Technology Vacuum Bag Molding Technology, Has High Production Efficiency High Molding Pressure, Moderate Equipment Investment Cost, Good Economy. Most Parts Of Drones That Use Foam Sandwich Structures, Such As Rudders, Use This Molding Process. In The Manufacture Of Carbon Fiber Drone Wing Panels, Huiwen Zhizao Uses Compression Molding Technology To Ensure The Appearance Quality Wing Shape Accuracy Of Drone Wings, Improve The Overall Manufacturing Quality Of Drones.

The Application Of Carbon Fiber Composite Materials Is An Important Trend In The Development Of Manufacturing In The Field Of Robots Drones, Is Also An Effective Way To Meet The Requirements Of Drone Range, Flight Time, Flight Altitude, Manufacturing Cost Concealment. The Structural Design Of Carbon Fiber Composite Robot/Drone The Optimization Of Manufacturing Process Are The Key To The Current Application Of Carbon Fiber. The Former Requires The Efforts Of Engineering Designers, The Latter Requires Continuous Attempts Innovations In The Research Development Application Of Carbon Fiber Composite Materials. The Continuous Increase In The Proportion Of Carbon Fiber Applications In Robots/Drones Will Effectively Improve The Manufacturing Level Of Drones In My Country.
