Tape laying system 4.0

The innovative carbon fiber layup system Fiberforge from Dieffenbacher sets a new standard in the field of composite technology and was successfully published at the K-fair 2016 in Düsseldorf. Defortec designed the housing and new appearance of the brand Dieffenbacher. The fully automated production line is used for the production of thermoplastic carbon fiber components in field of automotive lightweight construction and aircraft construction.

The clear and dynamic lines impressively emphasize the speed and high precision of the manufacturing process. Due to the special design concept, the tape laying system does not only distinguishes from its competitors from a technological point of view. TThe novelty of the process technology and the high process speed of the mechanical engineering design can be seen and felt by the observer.

The central process module offers a transparent glass area, which provides insight into the technical components and allows quick access during maintenance work. The transparency of the mineral glass surface underlines the high quality of the system and also reduces the optical volume. The glass surface is transformed into a large-area signal light by means of an LED light module.

“A very well-designed production machine, coherently structured and following an independent design language that is strictly oriented towards functionality. The design focus in the capital goods design is where the fiber tapes are processed, while the other necessary units are deliberately pushed into the background. A solution that can give new impetus to mechanical engineering.” (Jury statement, Focus Open Baden Württemberg)
