SHIMA SEIKI at Preview in SEOUL

SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD. of Wakayama, Japan, together with its Korean subsidiary SHIMA SEIKI KOREA INC., will participate in the Preview in SEOUL exhibition in Seoul, Republic of Korea this month (23rd - 25th of August 2023).

SHIMA SEIKI will show its SWG061N2 compact WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machine which can produce a wide range of WHOLEGARMENT® items in their entirety without the need for linking or sewing. The SWG-N2 series “Mini” range is suited to the production of small knit items and accessories such as gloves, socks, hats and scarves as well as cozies, shoe uppers, bags, card cases, glasses cases, smartphone covers and other personal items. The N.SVR093SP is a conventional shaped knitting machine featuring a loop presser bed that yields novel fabrics with special inlay patterns that are produced by inserting yarn into knit fabric in a weave fashion, offering new and exciting possibilities in hybrid knit-weave textiles. Both machines will be shown knitting such items as bags and sporting goods to demonstrate the capability of current knitting technology for producing non-apparel items.

SDS®-ONE APEX design system and APEXFiz® subscription-based design software will also be on display. Both support the creative side of fashion from planning and design to colorway evaluation, realistic fabric simulation and 3D virtual sampling. Virtual samples are a digitized version of sample making that are accurate enough to be used effectively as prototypes, replacing physical sampling and consequently reducing time, cost and material that otherwise go to waste. Virtual samples can furthermore be used in e-commerce to gauge consumer demand before production begins. Feeding that information back to production and combined with on-demand WHOLEGARMENT® knitting technology, production can be adjusted to optimize inventory and minimize leftover waste. APEXFiz® thereby helps to realize sustainability and digitally transform the fashion supply chain.

  • Ein Sprungbrett für Unternehmer in der Verbundwerkstoffindustrie

Innerhalb von wenigen Jahren hat sich der JEC Composites Startup Booster zu einer Referenz für das Unternehmertum in der weltweiten Verbundwerkstoffindustrie entwickelt. Unter den Startups, die ihre Bewerbung eingereicht haben, werden jedes Jahr vor der JEC World 20 ausgewählt, die an der führenden Fachmesse für Verbundwerkstoffe teilnehmen, um ihr Projekt vor einer Expertenjury vorzustellen.  

 Dieser Wettbewerb ist eine besondere Gelegenheit, Netzwerke zu knüpfen und einen Blick auf die Zukunft der Verbundwerkstoffindustrie zu werfen. Zwei Pitch-Sessions mit jeweils 10 Präsentationen finden auf der Agora-Bühne (Halle 5) statt, und zwar am Dienstag, den 3. Mai, von 10 bis 11.25 Uhr (Kategorie Produkte und Materialien) und von 16.30 bis 17.55 Uhr (Kategorie Verfahren, Herstellung und Ausrüstung). Die Jury wird drei Gewinner auswählen, und einen Gewinner für die nachhaltigen Aspekte des Projekts. Die Preisverleihung findet am Mittwoch, den 4. Mai, um 14.45 Uhr statt.  Der diesjährige Wettbewerb wird von Airbus und Mercedes-Benz (Hauptinnovationspartner, sowie von Magna Exteriors (Innovationspartner) gesponsert.

Startup Booster wurde 2017 ins Leben gerufen und in drei verschiedenen Regionen (Europa, USA und Asien) er hat bereits über 500 innovative Projekte aus über 50 Ländern, 80 Finalisten und 30 Gewinner hervorgebracht, darunter Arevo, Continuous Composites, ComPair, Fortify und Vartega...

12 Composites Innovators to receive a JEC Innovation Award in Seoul next November 15, 2018

Twelve companies from eight different countries will receive a JEC Innovation Award at JEC Asia 2018. Asia-Pacific is an innovative region that sets the tone for all other regions of the globe. Once again, the JEC Innovation Awards highlight how composites bring solutions considering the new challenges in terms of efficiency, sustainability and life-cycle analysis.

This year, JEC Group awards innovations in the following categories: aerospace (structural and tooling), automotive, commercial vehicles, e-mobility, marine, railway, sports & leisure, infrastructure & civil engineering, industrial equipment, sustainability and additive manufacturing.

The ceremony will take place on Thursday November 15, 2018 at the COEX Center of Seoul (South Korea). Ida DAUSSY (Seo Hye-na), will host the ceremony in front of officials, manufacturers, scientists and composites professionals.

Winner: CSIR National Aerospace Laboratories (India)

Most of the composite structures for aircraft are made of carbon-epoxy composites, which can withstand a maximum service temperature of 130°C. As a consequence, carbon-epoxy materials cannot be used in hot zones like engine vicinity areas. The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and CSIR-NAL took up the challenge of developing high temperature resistant composites for use in hot zones of light combat aircraft, which would result in significant weight and cost savings, as well as a considerable reduction in the meantime between failures (MTBF) due to thermal ageing.

The first task was to choose a material system with a service temperature of about ~ 200°C. During the material selection process, it was found that BMI resins are a relatively young class of thermosetting polymers. Hence, a carbon-BMI prepreg was selected due to a number of unique features including excellent physical property retention at elevated temperatures and in wet environments.

It was realized that weight savings and performance can be maximized using co-curing technology. This results in a large reduction of fabrication cycle times, costs and weight. Co-cured structures have fewer fasteners, which results in shorter assembly cycle times and also reduces sealing issues.

A prototype engine bay door assembly was built and tested at 180°C for flight certification. The engine bay door consists of an inner skin and co-cured outer skin assembly with eight transverse stiffeners. The stiffeners were designed with ‘J’ sections. The door size was 1.5 m length, 1 m width and 0.4 m overall depth. The co-cured door was developed using autoclave moulding. Two doors were installed in prototype aircraft and successfully flown.
