RIGHTWEIGHT Challenge 12
Challenge purpose: Lightweight guidance plate for crops with strong abrasive resistance
Main section of application:
- Automotive
Main cross-cutting topics:
- Design & smart functions
- Manufacturing & assembly
- Characterization & modelling
- Material supply & development
Scope of the challenge
- Many agricultural machines have a large (2,5mx1,5m) guidance place at the back of which crops guide over. Today, a heavy steel plate is used which takes up a large amount of the weight of the device.
Challenge objectives
- Identify a lightweight material that allows to further decrease the weight of the crop moving system.
- A special requirement to this plate is the abrasive load of many crops gliding over it.
