Nel settore dei compositi, i clienti richiedono macchine che progrediscano con lo sviluppo dei materiali e stiano al passo con la tecnologia software garantendo anche bassi consumi, sostenibilità e sicurezza. FKgroup sembra aver affrontato tutte le condizioni con il suo sistema di taglio automatizzato di punta: Tecno Freccia è il risultato di uno sforzo tecnologico di decenni.
Il monitoraggio strutturale è un passaggio fondamentale per una corretta diagnosi, quindi una prognosi e una stima della vita residua della struttura. L’utilizzo di sensori ai fibra ottica ha diversi vantaggi rispetto a sensori di tipo tradizionale, tra cui le ridotte dimensioni, l’ampio raggio di trasmissione dei dati e l’elevata affidabilità anche in ambienti aggressivi. È così che nascono progetti che utilizzano multifunctional textiles sensorizzati con fibre ottiche; ne presenteremo alcune applicazioni in questa sede così come la relativa fase di R&D.
After more than three years of international research, the ECOXY project finally comes to an end.
