3D Laser Projectors

The manual laying process of glass fiber matrices and prepregs in the production of wind rotors can be simplified and accelerated with the aid of laser projectors. A laser projector can display the contours of each fiber mat in the design so that the layers can be quickly, easily and precisely positioned and aligned. The projectors have interfaces for common 3D CAD formats. Laser projectors increase productivity by up to 30%, improve quality (the homogeneous structure of the wing), reduce errors, and guide employees intuitively through the production process.

Our laser projectors have been optimized for complex positioning and alignment applications. They project the contours of each fiber mat or decal to be placed in the mold so that production staff can position and align the layers quickly and accurately. The projector has interfaces for all current 3D CAD design programs, and can display contours even on curved surfaces.  As soon as the complete laser projection is displayed, the laminator  recognizes where it needs to place the fiber mat, prepreg, balsa, and bracing or vacuum suction. This not only improves operation efficiency, but also improves quality by reducing errors and thus manual rework.

Weight reduction plays a very important role in vehicle construction. To achieve this, composite materials such as fiberglass or carbon fiber are increasingly used for the purpose of creating vehicle components. Initially, these materials were used only in the interior of the vehicle, e.g. sight carbon for a sporty quality. In the case of electric vehicles, there is a trend reversal in which load-bearing parts, such as vehicle frames, are made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic.

Laser projectors also support the manual laying process of CFK layers and display surfaces to be cleaned.
