Automotive body in white components and frames are critical structures requiring the highest fibre volume fraction in order to withstand extreme mechanical stresses. Cannon has developed two ways to produce these parts:

HP-RTM

LN EPX

Compact mixing head for HP-RTM processes

E-System

Modular multicomponent dosing unit, for HP-RTM applications

Stacking Line

A balanced combination of efficiency and flexibility for high productivities

Preformers

The ideal equipment for high productivity composites related projects

Conditioning Station

To keep homogeneous chemicals’ conditions

When the resin transfer is not convenient due to part dimension or type of reinforcement (e.g. in case of low cost reinforcement and recycled carbon fibre) we suggest to work using 

Liquid Lay Down

E-System

Modular multicomponent dosing unit, for HP-RTM applications

LLD

Laminarity for high-productivity

Composites Presses

Dedicated to composites applications

Automation

Solutions of motion control and industrial robotics

Molds

Design, development and suppy of moulds

In particular, these components can be produced also with a dry – only process: the epoxy or carbon material is shaped in closed mould under high pressure. This process is called

Prepreg

Composites Presses

Dedicated to composites applications

Preformers

The ideal equipment for high productivity composites related projects

Automation

Solutions of motion control and industrial robotics

The sheets of pre-impregnated chopped carbon fibers are positioned into the mould and thanks to a press action, frames are shaped. This technology is called

SMC

Composites Presses

Dedicated to composites applications

Molds

Design, development and suppy of moulds

Automation

Solutions of motion control and industrial robotics
