Diaphragm Forming - Textile Scholar

 

Diaphragm Forming Process:

 

1.  Diaphragm forming uses sheets of reusable silicon as a carrier for Thermopreg fabrics between a heating section and a forming section.
2. The process needs very low air pressure
3. Inserting thermopeg fabrics between two silicon sheets
4. Silicon/Thermopreg sandwich is placed in the hot platen equipment until it reaches a temperature 210⁰ C
5. Then it placed over forming machine and vacuum is created in the lower site & pressed from the upper site
6. Transfer the forming unit and apply positive air below 100 ⁰C.

 

Advantages of Diaphragm Forming

• Components with double curvatures can be formed
• Compliant diaphragm do the job for simple components
