Composites Europe: Focus on manufacturing processes

Technology as an experience: with the new "Process live" format, processing and manufacturing processes will become the focus of Composites Europe in Stuttgart from 6 to 8 November 2018. Automation will be the main attraction.

Visitors of Composites Europe will have the opportunity to meet more than 400 exhibitors from 30 countries
Joining forces in group exhibits, mechanical and plant engineering companies will showcase their technologies in live interactions that will serve to demonstrate sub-processes in a larger context. The industry is experiencing a shift toward fully automated production, which increases the requirements for the respective technology suppliers. "Our goal with the 'Process live' format is to summarise the process depth of the composites industry and illustrate individual steps in the production chain", says Olaf Freier, event director of Composites Europe. "The more intense competition of materials has led processors in the process chain to cooperate more closely with each other. The new presentation area provides small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, with the opportunity to work together to present their services in even greater detail as part of the overall process and explain it to the trade visitors", Freier adds.

Dedicated to automated cutting technology, the first "Process live" area will be realised by cutting specialists from Switzerland in collaboration with automation experts from the Netherlands and gripping systems providers from Germany. The process plant installed and making its global debut at the trade show comprises the automated steps, from efficiently nesting the cutting data, unrolling the material and placing it onto the cutting table to cutting and removing the cut piles to robots efficiently sorting and stacking everything in the shelving system. The challenge is the great variability of components.

Composites Europe will show all the manufacturing processes used to make fibre-reinforced plastics, from raw materials to processing methods to lightweight construction innovations in
