FunPul  

Inline functionalisation of pultruded profiles

In the project, the partners are developing a mechanically functionalised lightweight profile for rail vehicle construction and a sensor-functionalised lightweight element for rotor blades in wind turbines. The functionalisation of fibre-reinforced plastic composites is achieved on the one hand by integrating metal inserts and on the other hand by embedding sensor elements for component monitoring. The functional extensions achieved are accompanied by an increased degree of lightweight construction and CO2 savings potential.

Sub-project: Technological development for the integrative production of sensorised bridge detectors for wind turbines using the pultrusion process
