Carbon fiber roller is one of the most widely used in many carbon fiber products, traditional printing, film, paper and other industries use it to replace some metal rollers, while the lithium battery industry also needs its lightweight advantages. Processing a carbon fiber roller that meets the appearance and performance requirements may take 2-3 days, during which there will be more than ten processes and more equipment and tools to complete the processing.

 

What equipment and tools are involved in processing carbon fiber rollers?

 

Processing carbon fiber roller is a complex work, and the processing process of metal roller or rubber roller is completely different. Carbon fiber roller can not use such a process as casting or die casting, because the high temperature will melt the resin, destroy the structure and performance of carbon fiber composite materials, so it is generally rolled, pultruded, winding and other ways.

 

In the process of processing carbon fiber rollers, there will be a lot of manual work, such as the laying and compaction of carbon fiber prepreg, and the removal of impurities on the surface of carbon fiber rollers. However, the curing and molding stage of carbon fiber prepreg can not be separated from the participation of hot pressing equipment, so it is impossible to make carbon fiber rolls by hand without relying on equipment.

 

In the network video, there may be some foreign manual masters who are relatively simple to produce some carbon fiber products, but they can not be separated from the help of curing equipment, and various grinding equipment and cutting equipment are also many of them. For manufacturers, if they want to improve the processing efficiency of carbon fiber rolls and other products and reduce the rate of defective products, they need mature processing processes and advanced equipment.

What equipment and tools are involved in processing carbon fiber rollers?

 

In the processing of carbon fiber roller, there is the participation of large equipment, but also the assistance of small tools, skilled use of each kind of equipment and tools, in order to produce a higher yield of carbon fiber roller.

 

1, mandrel mold: mandrel is a cylindrical structure, is the foundation of the production of carbon fiber roller mold, usually made of metal materials, such as steel or aluminum alloy. The diameter of the mandrel is the inner diameter of the carbon fiber roll, and the width of the mandrel is the width of the carbon fiber roll.

 

2, prepreg processing equipment: The use of cutting equipment to process carbon fiber prepreg in advance into the appropriate size, easy to use the subsequent layup.

 

3. Layering and coil equipment: Layering tools are used to accurately position and shape the carbon fiber material to the mandrel, which can include roller, brush, spatula or vacuum bag material, and then use the pipe winding machine to roll the carbon fiber prepreg into a roll shape.

 

4, film winding equipment: In order to ensure the uniform flow and distribution of resin in carbon fiber prepreg, it is necessary to wrap several layers of film on its surface before curing, naturally need to use film winding equipment.

 

5, curing equipment: curing is the process of hardening the resin to achieve the required mechanical properties, usually involving the application of temperature and pressure. Curing equipment may include ovens or autoclaves, which provide controlled temperature and pressure conditions to facilitate the curing process.

 

6, surface processing equipment: carbon fiber roller after curing from the mandrel, need to carry out some processing and treatment on its surface, such as cutting off the excess resin hard block, pick out the surface of the defect ash layer, grinding to the required accuracy, spraying on the matching color, etc., during the cutting equipment, grinding machine, polishing equipment, etc.

 

The processing cycle of the carbon fiber roller is usually 3-7 days, including the production of the mold and the proofing part, and the sample is used correctly to start mass production. In order to maintain the balance of the carbon fiber roller, it is necessary to test the dynamic and static balance in the later stage of processing, and it is also necessary to consider the problem of the pulsation amplitude, so some measuring equipment will be used in the detection stage.
