A developer of security and commercial solutions based on advanced unmanned systems, UAVOS has delivered a high-performance Oven-500 composite curing oven to a manufacturer in the aircraft industry.
The oven was designed to cure synthetic and composite materials of complex contours, shapes, and sizes while providing fast heat-up rates and cycle times.
UAVOS’ technology helped the manufacturer to generate lightweight composites with extreme strength that meet the most demanding applications.
The curing process for composite materials includes bagging and putting them under a vacuum while being cured. The electrically heated Oven-500 is rated for a maximum temperature of 220°C. Workspace dimensions of this oven measure 466 mm wide x 2050 mm deep x 502 mm high.
Top-loading designs incorporate a fully open upper aperture for product entry. UAVOS’ Oven-500 comes with special side-mounted electric heaters. Highly efficient circulation fans deliver dual airflow, distributing air evenly throughout the entire working space.
A temperature controller and redundant high-limit controller provide precise temperature control and over-temperature protection. This control system has a multitude of capabilities, such as serial communication port, ramp/soak programming, as well as data collection. All the data can be downloaded via a protocol Modbus.
Aliaksei Stratsilatau, CEO of UAVOS, commented; “Our customers are seeking technologies that improve the quality of their products and increase efficiency.
“UAVOS is committed to offering advanced solutions to composite parts manufacturers and developing high-performance curing ovens to meet their specific composite process requirements.”
