Aside from part design customized for CFRP applications and a functional CFRP manufacturing process, the tooling and production systems influence turnaround times, quality, and production cost of the CFRP component substantially. To define the tooling and systems as needed for the production process, a variety of process parameters must be taken into account. An innovative tooling and systems concept for CFRP detail part production ensures that jigs and systems will support the production process for the part optimally. For this purpose, both technological and economic constraints are important. The CTC provisions the complete competence range for developing an optimum tooling and system concept to ensure efficient production of customized CFRP detail parts.

The joining of structures made from CFRP differs significantly from the process for metallic structures. Intelligent assembly jigs ensure the correct geometric orientation of the components to be joined and actively support the joining process. The CTC offers support in all stages of planning and implementation of jigs for joining CFRP components.

The mass production of CFRP parts requires complex and high-automation production lines. The CTC supports the customer as a competent partner in the conceptual design, planning, simulation, and realization.

The management of tolerances throughout the entire production process (detail part and assembly) is a decisive factor in the production of high-complexity CFRP components and the process of combining them to form a high-performance structure. Only the consistent analysis and optimization of the tolerance chains will make CFRP production possible while fulfilling time, quality, and cost requirements. The CTC offers competent support from the tolerance analysis of the CFRP detail part all the way to the continuous tolerance management of the joined CFRP assembly.
