CRP machining
Owing to their extraordinary properties, carbon fibre-reinforced plastics (CRP) enjoy a special position within the group of fibre-plastic composites (FPC).
Owing to their extraordinary properties, carbon fibre-reinforced plastics (CRP) enjoy a special position within the group of fibre-plastic composites (FPC).
This applies to their mechanical properties and their milling and drilling characteristics. The high hardness and brittleness of the fibres in the composite material have shown it to be economic to machine these materials with abrasion-resistant diamond tools using high-speed cutting (HSC) techniques.
Hahlbrock has many years of experience in the milling and drilling of CRP moulded parts. The size of our HSC milling centre (X x Y = 5000 x 2500 mm) means that is also suitable for 5-axis machining of large geometries.
The milling machine, control and peripherals are specially designed for the dry machining of electrically conductive carbon fibre composites. A CAD/CAM system is used to compile the milling programs; alternatively, teach-in methods can be used based on a sample part.
Our main experience in this field is for the aviation industry and suppliers to that industry.
