The AZL Partner Network consists of more than 80 industrial partners from 21 countries representing the entire lightweight production value chain, said a press release from Textechno.
“The precise knowledge of key material parameters is the fundamental basis of the production of high-quality composite products. With its innovative composite testing instruments Textechno supports its customers to be more successful. Our partnership with AZL will further help us to contribute to the advances of the composite industry,” said Textechno’s managing director, Dr. Ulrich Mörschel.
“Textechno’s strategic decision to apply our knowledge of textile testing technologies to the benefit of composite materials has by now led to the development of four dedicated testing instruments. These are applied by customers worldwide to strengthen their lightweight production and R&D,” said Dr. Stefan Fliescher, Textechno’s assistant managing director. “With Favimat+ the most relevant characteristics of reinforcement fibres are tested, Fimatest reveals the fibre/matrix adhesion, the drapeability of fabrics and NCFs is probed with Drapetest , and Rovingtest measures the processing properties of rovings and yarns. We are looking forward to a close collaboration with AZL to contribute to joint development and expert knowledge.” (PC)
