Mold set for a ski press

Abstract

The invention relates to a mold set to be inserted in a ski press (2). The mold set comprises a lower structure having a base plate (4), a lower contour (5) and a lower heating element (7), and an upper structure having a cover plate (16), an upper contour (15) and an upper heating element, so that a ski mold can be inserted between the lower structure and the upper structure.

Description

technical field [0001] This novel manufacturing concept for snowboards enables serial industrial production with a batch size of 1. Background technique [0002] With the current state of the art, skis can only be manufactured efficiently if the individual models are produced serially in large numbers. Model changes are expensive, associated with high equipping times or equipping costs. Furthermore, current methods optimize the maximum manufacturing capacity, which may be detrimental to the actual optimum production of the skis. The idea of ​​the present invention is to rearrange the dimensions of the snowboard production unit (heat, pressure, forming), to add new technologies and to redefine the production process. In this way a new manufacturing method for snowboards is obtained which is superior to the state of the art in terms of setup time, tooling costs, handling and bonding of composite materials. Efficient series production with batch size 1 is possible for the fi...

Problems solved by technology

This has the disadvantage that it is not possible to insert the pre-tempered components into the pre-tempered mold

Furthermore, no physical temperature regulation is possible, since the possibility of controlled heating is omitted as the skis are taken out of the press

However, if the tempering is carried out in the press, undesirably long cycle times result
