FlexTrim scoring – machines which are ideal for trimming or scoring foils and skins

The FRIMO scoring process technology was developed for the production of invisible airbags in instrument panels. In contrast to the weakening of composite components in which substrate, foam and skin are weakened in one step FRIMO prefers material specific single steps.

The foil or skin is weakened seperately by blade before foaming. After this the weakening of the substrate and the foam takes place. It can be perfectly integrated in the necessary cutting process of the component. Depending on the requirements FRIMO punching machines or milling machines come into operation. Compared to the weakening of composite components a lower invest is needed.

For the invisible airbag weakening of leather parts FRIMO offers a patented process in which the skin is weakend by a rotating circular knife. This proces guarantees a high precision and odourless results with shortest cycle times.

The advantages at one glance:

• Efficient and reliable high precision machines with one or more robots per cell
• Relatively low investment costs 
• Compact and easy to operate machines
• Use of ultrasonic, scalpel, circular or VOCKS blade with release agent application
• Nearly all surface materials can be processed in 3-D geometries, e.g. TPO, TPU, PVC, PU and leather
