A New Continuous Fabrication System for SMC-Roll Forming

摘要

With the aim of decreasing the power requirements and large capital investment needed for SMC compression molding fabrication by longitudinal rolling in progressive steps has been developed, to produce a continuous uniform channel-shaped cross section. As the product has a shear centre away from the centroid when the component is used a structural part, the forming process must avoid the development of stress concentrations resulting from unsuitable orientation of reinforcements.
