MoveOn
Pultrusion is an established production process for fiber reinforced plastic profiles. These profiles exhibit beneficial properties for a variety of applications, such as wind energy, infrastructure and many more. In order to produce profiles economically, the pultrusion speeds need to be increased. Higher production speeds require a much better process control. Due to the high complexity of the ongoing curing reaction a sufficient process data acquisition is essential for further process improvements.
Task
Your task could include: Die optimization, Development of a new data acquisition setup, Data driven process analysis, Process visualization
Requirements
First experiences in plastic and composite processing beneficial; Experience in LabView beneficial, but not necessary
