Abstract: Multi-material structures are promising in the automotive industry for achieving lightweight design body construction and functionalization due to their favorable mechanical properties and low structural weight. These structures typically combine metal and plastic materials to create final components with enhanced properties compared to mono-material structures. The focus of this paper lays on the creation of a manufacturing cell that combines joint forming and heat-assisted press joining techniques to produce components made from steels and continuous fiber-reinforced thermo-plastics in the form of unidirectional carbon-fiber tapes. To improve production efficiency and reduce costs, a manufacturing cell was created and tested, which utilized two robots for automated handling and an isothermal, two-stage forming tool concept to shorten cycle times. The resulting composite components were tested for mechanical performance. Compared to pure steel components, all composite components exhibited a higher specific load capacity. Cycle times in well under 60 s were achieved. The new manufacturing cell led to a significant reduction in process time compared to variothermal tool concepts.
