Fairing for forage harvester BIG X

ACCENTFORM has been commissioned by Bernard Krone GmbH & Co. KG for the high-performance forage harvester of the Big X 480-630 series. The organically shaped body segment in the typical Krone green-beige colour gives the agricultural machine an unmistakable appearance and ensures visual recognition on the market.

Overview of Big X body parts, manufactured by ACCENTFORM:

  • Front protection, three-part
  • Side protection, three-part
  • Side flap, two-part
  • Tailgate

 

The GRP surfaces up to a size of 2.0 x 3.5m can be produced extremely economically in quantities of over 250 units per year using the conventional RTM process. With the help of the photo gallery and our video, you can easily follow the individual production steps from cutting the glass fibre mat, RTM injection and assembly of the components to delivery of the GRP cladding.

The RTM process (Resin Transfer Moulding) at ACCENTFORM offers the advantage of a finely divided work content due to the designed production structure.

This makes it possible to quickly and safely train employees in the individual production steps. This ensures process-reliable production and high flexibility in the output quantity.

After the trimming necessary for the process – which at ACCENTFORM is carried out by a robot – reinforcing and adaptation parts are glued to the inside of the body parts.

To ensure a permanent and secure adhesive bond, the KTL-coated metal parts are bonded using a 2K MMA adhesive.

Agriculture from its most beautiful side

Agricultural machinery is characterized today by the latest technology and innovative design. The best examples are Welger hay balers.  ACCENTform was commissioned by Welger Maschinenfabrik GmbH to manufacture body panels that provide each of the vehicles in their product line-up with a distinctive appearance, and ensure a stunning visual example of brand recognition in the agricultural machinery market.

The dimensions of the flawlessly shaped fibreglass surfaces vary between 1-16 m² (11-172 ft²). They can be highly economically manufactured, by using a conventional RTM method. Due to this process, we can produce up to 2,000 units per year. In this process, the ink layer of about 0.7 mm thick was applied in the high-gloss production mold and the precisely fitted piece of glass fabric was packed. The production mold was then closed with the upper mold and clamped. After the resin has been pumped into the mold cavity and hardened for 30 minutes, the hardened part is removed from the mold. Subsequently, the machining robot automatically mills all unnecessary projections of the manufactured part. In the final assembly, the body shell´s segment got a tubular steel frame for connection to the machine. A complete hood system consists of four body parts: two large-sized red body side panels and two gray fenders.

For Welger Maschinenfabrik, ACCENTform also manufactured the body panels for the RPC 245 Tornado, RPC 445 Tornado DA and RP 545. These products, due to its large size, were made, by using the hand lay-up or spray lay-up method. Commissioned by the Lely company in the Netherlands, ACCENTform manufactured the front panels for the Splendimo 260 FA and 300 FS models. One body part’s segment weighed approximately 3-120 kg (7-265 lbs) and thus, for the safe delivery and transport to the customer’s assembly line, ACCENTform used special transport racks.

VOLKE Towing Dynamometer

volke-anhaenger-karrosserie

We manufactured the fibreglass body shell for the new VOLKE Towing Dynamometer.

In addition to the fibreglass shell, we also made a cover for a drawbar (manufactured as a sandwich element) that completed the kit.

The photos, provided by VOLKE, show the towing dynamometer in complete assembled and painted version.

The body shell has the following dimensions:

A length of 3650 mm (12 ft), a width of 1950 mm (6 ft) and a height of 750 mm (2 ft).

 

Towing dynamometers are commonly used in the automotive industry for an uphill driving simulation while on flat terrain, or for the testing of driving with different loads. Thus, new engines and transmissions can be tested under real driving conditions for engine performance and cooling system capability.  Using VOLKE’s towing dynamometers one can simulate the searing heat of Death Valley, as well as the North German Plain. It goes without saying that the testing of all modern vehicles incline and decline parameters and towing capacities should be carried out while towing this trailer.
