Laser Substitute Manual Work Automated Repair of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastics

摘要

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics(CFRP) have become increasingly established in lightweight construction. It is used extensively,especially in aviation. Modern aircraft already have a structural weight percentage of over 50% CFRP. In addition to secondary structures,this material is also found in more and more load-bearing primary structures. The increasing need for CFRP has led to increasing production. However,the pro-duction of CFRP components is prone to errors and often reguires rework. So far,this has been carried out mainly by hand. However,it reguires gualified personnel and takes time. For this reason,automated processes should be used in many cases.
