Röchling Automotive increasingly focuses on lightweight structural design with fiber plastic composites |
|
Worms, Germany, 12 October, 2021 (APA/OTS) - Lightweight design and alternative drives go hand in hand - Structural lightweight design complements existing product portfolio |
Lightweight structural engineering based on fiber-reinforced
plastics is replacing heavy metal solutions in body-in-white and
battery applications. In addition, the technology offers
significantly better design and integration options. These
lightweight designs particularly support the strengths of
alternative drive systems. Röchling Automotive is intensifying
research and development in this area. Several product segments
benefit from this - for example, load-bearing tubs and troughs,
battery covers and underride guards, as well as a variety of
structural components.
Engineering plastics serve as the basis for lightweight solutions.
Röchling's high-performance plastics are combined with other
materials as required. Multi-material design produces components
that are superior to classic solutions. Peter Dill, Director Product
Portfolio Global, summarizes the advantages: "In lightweight
structural design, plastics are the basis for tailor-made
modification of material properties. This opens up numerous possible
applications. The lower weight and the possibility of integration
offer a welcome opportunity to reduce costs."
Dill explains this using the example of Röchling Automotive's
front-end carrier: "Through functional integrations, we reduce the
quantity of individual parts. We can directly integrate and install
lamps, sensors and active grille shutters at factory. This makes
handling easier and minimizes production costs." The lower weight of
the components extends the range of electrically powered vehicles
and reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, Dill added.
In addition, Röchling Automotive is conducting intensive research
on further increasing strength and stiffness through continuous
fiber reinforcement. In so-called tape technology, additional
reinforcing elements are inserted into the components along the load
paths. These "tapes" consist of extremely thin, very long glass or
carbon fibers embedded in a plastic matrix. The associated local
reinforcement ensures optimum use of the material. The material can
be subjected to high mechanical stresses. At the same time, the cost
of tape technology is comparatively low.
For Tobias Eisele, Vice President Sales & Marketing Global, the
development of structural lightweight competencies at Röchling
Automotive is a logical step: "We have already shown in various
projects what is possible with lightweight design today and the
importance of structural lightweighting will continue to grow. By
expanding our expertise in this area, we are focusing on a
technology of the future."
