The production and processing of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) is constantly increasing in industry. A commonly used method is resin transfer molding (RTM). FRP components are produced for large series by now. Therefore, the aspect of processing efficiency is becoming more and more important. The semi-finished product can be better exploited, for example, if large preforms were composed of single subpreforms. These subpreforms are easier to drape and can be produced within an automated line. Consequently, the necessary assembly of the subpreforms needs to be automated as well. This way, the process can be made time and resource efficient. The article that follows now will focus more closely on a concept that deals with the handling and subsequent assembling of subpreforms. Furthermore, the variables that can be adjusted for the assembly process are examined and their influence on the resulting connection quality is shown.

Fiber Reinforced Plastics

Fiber reinforced plastics are increasingly employed in the automobile industry. The process chain of resin transfer molding offers one approach for realizing structural components made of fiber reinforced plastic in high quantities. In order to increase economic efficiency, automated solutions for the subpreform assembly are required. There is also the need for mechanically highly stressable and at the same time economical joining techniques for joining fiber reinforced plastics with metal. The following article shall provide an approach to meet both of these requirements.
