2. What makes up a Composite Autoclave System?
Autoclaves used for composite bonding in the Aerospace,
military and other high-performance industries must be built
with extra care and attention to detail. These autoclaves are
held too much greater standard than autoclave systems used
for vulcanizing, wood treatment, concrete curing, etc… as
most of the parts produced in a composites autoclave end up
as parts on the planes we all travel on and in the military
protecting our troops.
These systems are internally insulated to keep the internal
temperatures from directly reaching the shell of the or vessel
wall thus providing a more controllable environment and
ultimately higher performance during the heat up and cool
down segments of a composites cure cycle.

3. How did our Autoclave in the composites industries?
Through experience, our passion for improvement, our desire to
build the most sought after composite bonding autoclave system
in the industry, we were able to achieve and deliver success. We
developed the Autoclave, a finished product that has best
features to achieve customer request.

4. Temperature uniformity
With the high cost of composite
materials and tooling, the need for
quality temperature uniformity
becomes a great concern. For this
purpose, the composites autoclave is
equipped with an air transfer system
and some are much better than others.

5. How it controls?
The composite autoclave utilizes an advanced control software
to control the temperature, pressure, vacuum, and cure times
based on engineered cure recipes and reading gathered from
the sensors that are attached directly to the aerospace
composite parts and tools during a cure cycle.
These sensors include fixed air and part thermocouples to
monitor the temperature of the part and ambient air
temperatures in the autoclave, vacuum transducers to monitor
vacuum being applied to the part, and much more.

6. Capabilities
Composites autoclaves are designed to provide the quickest turnaround for each
production load of composite parts. Production cycle times are directly dependent
on the ability of the autoclave to transfer thermal energy into the part and tool load.
This transfer can be improved by high air-speeds and uniform flow within the
autoclave environment. With proven success as the industry leader in autoclave
manufacturing.
