The emperor of Japan Corporation announced, it will be located at the prefecture of Ehime Matsuyama plant plant to build the world's first integrated production of carbon fibre reinforced plastic ( CFRTP ) products in the test plant. This plant will use without precedent CFRTP products mass production techniques, the molded composite products for cycle time reduction to less than a minute level.
The new plant construction will start soon, is expected to begin production in mid 2012. This new facility will allow Teijin further accelerated automotive and other industrial CFRTP products of industrial production, construction total investment will exceed 2000000000 yen.
Teijin proprietary CFRTP mass production technology in under a minute to make a carbon fiber composite material products, this is the car manufacturing business production vehicle by the ideal time. This technology can realize the revolutionary weight loss index, except the motor vehicles, expected in every needs some structural strength, many applications will be applied.
In order to car manufacturer to introduce this cutting-edge technology, Teijin earlier this year developed a concept electric car, its body structure is completely made of CFRTP, weighs only 47 kilograms, approximately 1/5 of the weight of the car body structure |
