![]() In the Hutchinson demonstrator (photo), several cure, resin arrival and Flowire sensors were installed in a RTM mould for the manufacturing of a gfrp thick automotive component. In more than 10 injections all sensors and real-time Tg prediction software recorded resin arrival times and cure indicating in real-time the on-going Tg and proposing control actions with respect to heating and cooling.
In the Airborne demonstrator, more than 20 cure, resin arrival, temperature and pressure sensors were installed for the manufacturing of a new 2m tidal blade. This was a cfrp part using aerospace grade epoxy, injected and cured in an oven. The use of the sensors helped to achieve 'first-time right' product while the online Tg prediction showed that a 50% speed-up with respect to the initial designed cure cycle duration was possible.
