PINEDE P.E.I. is an industrial engineering
group

that

specializes

in

production.

assembly and control processes. Il is a
supplier of both standard and customized
equipment

like

forming

machinery.

production lines. means of assembly . test
benches. and turnkey factories for major
grou ps in the aerospace. auto motive and
energy industries. among others.

ing. The ECS'PRESS parallelism control
characteristics ensure optimum results for
this process. The machine 's holding time is
also optimized through the ofiline digitization process used for the robot hands and
the production path.

In the aerospace and automotive sectors,
QSP ®technology is the best tool to address
the challenge of mass-producing lightweight composite parts cost-effectively.

Press-mouldedPAEK,PPPS,PEEK
and PEKKparts
These high-performance materials are
dedicated to the aerospace market. LAB
4.0 can be used in particular to develop the
production of primary structural parts.
The combined use of infrared ovens and
LAB 4.0 is compatible with al! aerospace
quality requirements. The 4.0 tool provides
complete traceability of both the process
and the part.

QSPCID
- quilted stratum process
A QSP ® module used upstream of the
preheating systems enables high preform
production rates for lightweight structural
parts. When integrated into LAB 4.0, the
QSP ®process serves to make prototype
parts and validate the cycle times, weights
and choice of raw materials. The heating
equipment specific to the QSP ®process
can also be adapted to other thermoplastic
matrices, and the injection overmoulding
unit serves to produce prototypes or netshape preseries.

Control 4.0 makes it possible to simulate
the manufacturing process within the
environments provided for during the
industrialization phase. Using a dedicated
application, it is now possible to visualize
the process and a rendering of the part in
real time, before the actual production and also to anticipate tool changes and the
required procedures, and to test the system
ergonomies.
Not only do LAB 4.0 technologies lead to
less pollution and scrap, they also eut clown
on lengthy and expensive testing.

Maint enance 4.0

Through the LAB 4.0 tool, it is possible
not only to connect with Pinette P.E.I for
remote maintenance support that is guided
via compatible virtual reality goggles,
but also to provide the machine with the
adequate and relevant information and
training each time there is a new project,
and at lower cost.
Through its LAB 4.0 concept , Pinette
P.E.I is able to incorporat e al] of th ese
technolo gical components and propose a
complete and effective mode! th at can be
industrialized. The modular multi -process
online tool fulfils the need for manufacturer s to corrobora te th e techniqu es and
feasibility of production without spending
too mu ch on tests, energy and the resourc es mobilized.
It al! starts h ere: LAB 4.0 is the first busi ness tran sformation driver for the smart
factories of tomorrow. Il
