Project description
Dust suction cleans up composite machining processes
A large amount of dust is produced during the composite machining process. With composite manufacturing expected to pick up as manufacturers replace metal parts with composite parts (to reduce the weight of the components and increase the performance of products), there’s a need to clean up processes. Scientists are investigating ways to protect workers from the dust generated during composite machining due to the potential cancer risk related to breathing of fibres and resin and severe health issues impacting skin, eyes, lungs and liver. To minimise exposure to carcinogenic dust, the EU-funded FIBREMACH project will develop a robotic system that includes an internal dust suction for cleaner manufacturing processes.
