 Robotics has broken through all industrial sectors. Composite materials are not an exception to this progress. Backed up by its substantial knowledge of the composites field, robotic systems came as a natural complement to Matrasur Composites’ core business activities as an equipment supplier.
Matrasur Composites’ developments in this new industrialization process have given birth to a comprehensive range of solutions. All working stations of a composite workshop are concerned with robotics:
• Gelcoat spray-up
• Demoulding agent spray-up
• Chopper applications (including low roll and no roll resins)
• Insert positioning
• Spray-up of polyurethane foams and elastomers
• Automatic roll-out
• Part handling, transfer, positioning
• Part trimming, machining and finishing operations
• Adhesive lay-down
• Painting spray-up
• Fiber placement
Matrasur Composites has oriented robotics into a larger industrial strategy that goes beyond the historically recognized advantages of robotic solutions in terms of productivity: Finding the right production tools in a sector that has been traditionally concerned with heavy labor costs, providing the composite industry with a technological boost by :
• Improving the environment of each workstation by reducing or eliminating hard work with weak added value.
• Allowing for energy cost control by substantially reducing extraction volumes and heated production areas.
• Confining VOC emissions in smaller areas that are highly saturated and allowing treatment of the effluents at low cost; the last step toward the "0 emissions factory".
The most successful robotic projects combine productivity and industrial ecology, economic competitiveness and job ergonomics.
It is these factors put together that bring the industrializations of today to their best level. Matrasur Composites has developed an inventory of solutions without adaptation limit: a range of complementary robot families that Matrasur Composites adapts and develops in more specific contexts: leisure, yachting, sanitary, rail, aviation...
