CARBON FIBER COMPOSITE ROOF ASSEMBLY
•OEM Make & Model: 2013MY Chrysler Group LLC SRT Viper® GTS supercar
•Tier Supplier/Processor: Plasan Carbon Composites
•Material Supplier / Toolmaker: Umeco plc/Cytec Industries (carbon fiber weave prepreg); Toray Carbon Fibers Americas, Inc. (unidirectional carbon fiber prepreg); Dow Automotive (structural adhesive) / Windsor Mold Group
•Material / Process: G83C T700S-24K carbon composite / Vacuum bag, autoclave cure
•Description: This carbon fiber composite roof assembly is a Class A part that is a key structural component of the vehicle. Layup orientation and thickness were custom tuned to meet various structural requirements of both part and vehicle. Complex layup of plies was enabled by a CAD-drive laser placement system, which directs the operator in positioning plies during layup of the prepreg kit. Structural rigidity was increased vs. aluminum or SMC while weight was significantly reduced.
