PRESS FOR PRESSING A COMPONENT, IN PARTICULAR THERMOPLASTIC CONSOLIDATION AND/OR FORMING PRESS, AND METHOD FOR PRESSING A THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITE COMPONENT, IN PARTICULAR FOR CONSOLIDATION AND/OR FORMING

摘要

A press for pressing a component, such as a thermoplastic consolidation and/or forming press, has a first fixed part as a first pressing tool, a movable part as a second pressing tool for pressing a component together with the first pressing tool, and a second fixed part for applying a pressing force to the movable part, wherein the second fixed part and the movable part apply the pressing force generated via interaction between a magnetic field of a pressing magnet and a superconductor cooled below its step temperature.
