Main functions
The peel tester is used to continuously measure the adhesion energies of thermoplastic laminates in order to test and optimise the bonding process. The principle of winding and gluing a composite strip is a technology that is increasingly used in the industrial sector, as it offers greater productivity. In order to optimise the quality of the bond between the composite layers and certain physical parameters such as pressure, temperature and heat transfer, LF Technologies has developed a continuous peeling bench. This highly innovative system offers highly accurate analysis of interlaminar adhesion and debonding force. The machine can be installed directly on the production floor to evaluate the adhesion parameters of thermoplastic composites in real time.
Operating mode
The continuous peeling bench unwinds the composite strips using a speed-compensated drum, while the composite sample is held in rotation by a second drum whose torque is also controlled. The peeling angle is set by the operator and controlled to prevent the carbon fibers from breaking, thus enabling continuous peeling. The higher the resistive torque, the more tangential the unwinding, and vice versa.
